Even the Ducati garage was appalled by the error and punished Fabrizio by limiting his linguini at supper!
I think what stood out was Ben is too focused on winning the next race and the next race to care or even comment. That is why he will win the champoinship, he immediately addresses the next item he can improve rather than wasting time on what has already happened.

I want Ben to win because I want an American to kick ass at WSBK. I'm hoping for Biaggi to win more just so that Aprilia gets a good showing.

Agreed! There's no way Ben could have "yielded" the position. Fabrizio basically blind sided him.

Spies handled it ok and I think he will still win the championship. However, Fabrizio was being aggressive and it was a bad move going to the inside and losing the front tire. I think he did a good thing by taking the blame and apologizing.
The best part was between races when he held up the sign that say, "I love Ben" or something like that. |

I hope Aprilia does well and stays in business. More competition to make all products better and more selection if I ever have enough money for one.
