I can sum this up
"Well, Yamaha isn't winning every single race by large gaps... Bike must be inferior because its definitely not the riders."
:lol

I just saw an article about advancements on Bautista's bike and it made me wonder something...
Can we assume that the Yamaha and Honda Satellite bikes are equivalently lesser than their factory equivalents? If so, Cal Crutchlow is consistently beating other Satellite Hondas pretty easily. Does this fuel the argument that if a Satellite Yamaha can consistently beat every satellite Honda, then a Factory Yamaha should also be able to consistently beat Factory Hondas...if the rider is good enough?
Is Cal so good that he can consistently "win" (against equal satellite competition), or is the Factory Honda farther above sat Hondas than the Factory Yamaha is above the Tech3 bike?
If the answer is Cal, then I really hope that Yamaha would promote him, even if it means losing Rossi next season. He knows the bike and can put in good results, I'd hate to lose him to Suzuki or someone else.

Yep. Yam made Spies run Lorenzo's setups instead of setting the bike up for the way he rides.

I think Cal is just better than Bautista and Bradel plus one of them runs showa suspension and different brakes than everyone else
