Made in Italy owned by VAG I sympathise in what he is saying. Is a MINI, British or German? Owned by BMW. Were Peugeot 205's French, made at the old Rootes factory or British? Triumph have large factories in Thailand and South America. I could go on. It's all multi national these days.
Well, that took its time to wend its way through the press. Biaggi’s acerbic throw away aside to Suzie Perry as they walked together down the pit lane after the final round at Valencia. I posted at the time, that the Piaggio Group, which includes Aprilia, is controlled by Immsi. They are listed on the Italian stock exchange but are a huge multinational conglomerate with fingers in pies all over the world, just like VAG. Andy
Must be a slow news day he come out with this at the back end of last season! At least we have some 26 bikes being unveiled tmrw!
I don't have any sympathy with him. I understand where his confusion is coming from but he's saying that because Aprilia are paying him. Ducati is Italian.
