We all know that In the Fiat Yamaha team there is a wall between the boxes of Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo. A wall that appeared in the 2008 season, if I remember correctly, to prevent Bridgestone engineers "stealing" information from Michelin and vice versa. Much has been speculated on whether in this way Valentino prevented Lorenzo from copying the settings and whether Valentino has appeared next to Lorenzo this last season to take a look at the Spanish settings when he was ahead of him in training. The funny thing is that now I read that in the Tech3 team there is also that dividing wall. Raised at the beginning of the 2008 season when the relationship between James toseland and Colin edwards it cooled down as a result of a cross between the two pilots.

This year James Toseland will no longer be in the Tech3 team, since he has gone to fill the vacancy he has left Ben spies in the Team Yamaha Sterilgarda of Superbikes. But despite the good relationship that exists between Ben Spies and Colin Edwards, the wall is going to continue there, dividing the box.

In statements of Herve Poncharal to Crash.net we read that:

This sounds to me like Edwards is quite a "complicated" partner. and in the team they do not want to have unnecessary problems due to friction between their two pilots. Anyway, it is possible that if Ben Spies beats Colin Edwards in the season, let the veteran look next to the rookie. What do you think?

At this rate and if they manage to increase the wall surface to get more sponsors Surely it ends up becoming fashionable in all teams. The pity they have is that motorcycles increasingly mount smaller fairings and there is almost no space left in them.
