Your right Gaz, i was in no way having a dig. It's just as a long time fan like yourself we have seen how the rider #1 and #2 rider status works. I would imagine that Stoner and Pedrosa share #1 status although a case could be put forward that dani has slightly more because of Repsol,, who knows? But one thing is for sure and thats Dovi is #2 or even #3. Him being dropped proves this. Sharing data is one thing, being made to test new part is another.
To argue that no rider gets preferentual treatment implys ALL riders in that team get the same and are treated the same. This is clealy not the case.
