Se ci fosse stato un patto di segretezza, come lo chiamano quelli di GPone, probabilmente non si sarebbero incontrati a Bologna ma in qualche posto un pò più riservato, e la risposta alla loro terza domanda è qui:
Q: Anyway, it is very odd - especially in Japanese society - that someone should help and give some ideas to his rival companies.
MF: Basically, I am a retired and independent person. So, there is no obstacle to help them. However, as you point out, I understand that in Japanese society it would be inappropriate to help your competitors. On the other hand, I would have liked to lend a hand to Filippo as a friend because he is an excellent engineer. Furthermore, if Valentino returns to Yamaha next year, I thought that helping him the rest of the season wouldn’t be a bad thing. Filippo showed me various proposals to help them. I told him to answer within a week and left Italy. As soon as returned to Japan, I went to Iwata headquarters and explained to them about the proposals from Filippo.
Q: How was their reaction?
MF: It was a typical Japanese one. They said ‘We cannot prevent you from doing what you will, but we expect you will do the right thing.’ It does not make sense to create friction between them, so I said ‘’OK, let’s forget it.’
infine, il rapporto tra Rossi e Furusawa è sempre stato molto stretto a sentire entrambi, scrivere che Valentino ha "perseguitato di telefonata" un suo amico (arrivando addirittura a ospitarlo un giorno, al limite della molestia...) quando questi stava prendendo in considerazione di aiutare Ducati anche (ipotesi mia, soprattutto?) per aiutare lui, non mi pare una scelta di termini azzeccata.
mi sono perso qualcosa?
