I think that plan failed for the Italian that ran away from Ducati... LOL!!!

I have been thinking about Stubborn teams and I always heard rumours that Chris Walker wasn't allowed to set up his Honda in Moto-GP the way he wanted and couldn't ride it. But got the chance to take it to a track in the uk and set it up how he liked and rode way quicker. But was told to return the bike to its 'proper' settings... These things have always confused me, why make a rider ride a bike that doesn't work for them?

Dunno how much truth there is in that rumour though... These things have always confused me, why make a rider ride a bike that doesn't work for them?
