<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Teomolca @ Dec 23 2009, 05:54 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>BTW Elias bike wasn't a "factory" bike, he did get some parts from HRC during the season but those mostly parts that Dani and Dovi rejected!
And I've made that point on here myself several times; it was very much cannibalised from cast offs out of the Repsol garage - but still very much factory grade kit. You also neglect to mention that the rev ceiling was 1000 rpm higher - not to suggest that your posts are ever biased in any way towards Spanish riders.

Dovi had one average year, but it's too early to make a final judgment on the guy, surely.
