To be honest the Cagiva thing was turned around anyway/
First by Mamola who turned the bike into a half decent thing but was hampered by rubbish Pirelli tyres
And then by Lawson and Haslam who tested the hell out ot it and forced the Castiglioni's to spedn money in the right places instead of just riders and posh trucks.
The 91 and 90 bikes were very, very good. 92 bike was suffering with Dunlop tyres but once they got the big bang was very good.
And I have to think if someone like Beattie, Schwantz or someone had been alongside Chandler in 93 the bike would have won more races.
Kocinski was it's bnets rider really, but could not develop a bike to save his life!
As for 2010, Honda will win most of the races, Lorenzo or Spies will win when its tight and twisty and Rossi will get podiums, maybe the odd win.
No one else might as well not turn up!
