When Stoner left Ducati (because they brought Rossi in) and went to Honda, there was a closed door sit down between Honda and Bridgestone, with the Honda head of purchasing present, odd?. Honda told Bridgestone they wanted the same front tyre they had been building for Casey's Ducati championship. Bridgestone said they could not do that. Honda then told Bridgestone they would use Bridgestone across their entire lineup, hence head of purchasing's presence. HONDA got the Stoner tyre, no one else did.
True story.
first off stoner didnt leave ducati because they brought rossi in. stoner left ducati cause the brand screwed him when he was sick and told them they had no money for him then offered more money to lorenzo AFTER stoner won them a championship when his contract was up he went to honda his dream ride from a child as a fan of doohan (another ausi). facts are a terrible thing.
