The so-called "fight" that Valentino Rossi had to have with Yamaha at Jerez to be able to change the set-up of his bike is the clearest reflection yet of the change in stance taken by the Japanese factory in recent months.
Last Sunday, the Italian returned to the podium for the first time in over a year. Seventeen races had passed since the US Grand Prix last season and immediately after expressing his joy at the result, Rossi revealed that the key to his improved performance in the second of back-to-back rounds at Jerez was a modification the team had made to the set-up of his bike.
He then went further, revealing that he'd had to "fight for four days" before Yamaha allowed him to implement the changes he was requesting, adding that the main obstacle he had to overcome when he wanted to change a bike that he described the previous weekend (when he had to retire due to an engine problem) as not feeling like his own was a "political problem."
