I think you're right, I just looked as saw a old fatter guy with Fogarty in close proximity and immediately thought of Fallapa

Is that really Polen?? Looks like Merkel between Foggy & Chilli to me. Maybe?

Ask JR! Maybe because it's basically the only non factory bike from Any of the big teams!

Sykes battered that today anyway, 339.9 KMH.

shouldn't that make it slower on the straights and right up there in the corners ?

No, ten Kate have always been able to build stinking engines, it's the chassis & electronics they struggle with.
