I bet he's kicking himself for letting Fabrizio take those two wins when the
only benficiary was Fabrizio.

Who he manages. I think the godfather hug and the tears in Parc Ferme at
Portimao were for both of them. Like some Greek tragedy, he knew that
there was no way out and exactly what he'd feared would happen, did.
Rumours also that he didn't/doesn't like Haga.

This was completely telegraphed by Vitto taking the trophy on
behalf of Ducati. Wonder where Tardozzi will be next week?

I'd heard those, but also that they were made up by the Italian press,
which flies as a theory because there wasn't much else to write about
in the ducati garage at the time.

Maybe thay could save it for the mind games and one of the Yamaha
riders should ask Stoner, just before the first race next season...
