During the Catalunya weekend, Nick Harris made an interesting comment. When Bautista's bike broke, Harris first thought Bautista had crashed. When he learned otherwise, he said something to the effect of "he'll be glad to keep his hands in his pockets instead of pulling out his checkbook again".
How does that typically work? Does a rider get X number of freebies, then he has to start paying? Is this fairly universal, or only in the teams of lesser means (non-factory)?
