    During the Brno MotoGP race, one of the BBC commentators while talking
    about an upturn in the Pramac Alice Ducati team fortunes, referred to
    Luis D'antin as "crooked". My google foo is weak, and I haven't been
    able to find anything on the internet about this. Anybody know what he
    was talking about?

    Cheers,

    Apparently he was unable to pay wages and hotels bills to the point that
    mechanics were locked out of their hotel rooms by the management, yet he
    goes off and is able to buy himself a new Porsche and yacht. The new
    purchases were the last straw, and a meeting was called between Alice &
    Dorna (maybe others), and he was escorted out of the paddock and had his
    passes removed. I read this on the BBC shortly after the event.
