Foret, Casoli and Whitham were all excluded for rule infringements.

Apparently Foret was excluded because his rear wheel spindle was too light.....Is there a performance gain to be had running a lightweight rear wheel spindle? Just imagine all the fashion victims on their carbon fibre encrusted crotch rockets slashing out mega spondoolies for a rear wheel spindle weighing 5 or 6 grammes less than the standard item.....

Urm... all three of them? Just what did they do wrong? Not often three people get the boot. But rules are rules are rules
