Burgess fixed it with Rossi's endorsement via very willing Yamaha engineers. They swallowed their pride and developed it exactly as the super duo asked, and reaped the rewards...

I certainly would not credit Rossi for the cross plane. The feedback that inspired Burgess to seek a different solution from Yamaha definitely, and of course he did ride the thing they built.

Rossi knows the score in WSBK. He'll go to F1 or Rally when his Duc contract is over...

I'd say it was a combination of both. A bit of development and a crapload of skill resulted in those first couple of titles. Continued development over the years resulted in Yamaha taking several constructor's championships.

Ahh but if he wasn't in the picture that bike could have taken the title in its first year...
