DidierF ◊ 2016-02-11 22:59	Je cite ici "L'Âge d'or du Continental Circus" de Jacques Bussillet, 2015 (Bussillet est un témoin direct de la chose) : Quote (…) En Allemagne de l'Est, André-Luc Appietto qui avait cassé sa Paton usa du même artifice [présenter sa moto de 250 à la course des 500 avec des plaques jaunes, pour pouvoir toucher la prime de départ] pour faire les deux courses avec sa 250 Morini. Quote (…) In East-Germany, André-Luc Appietto, whose Paton was broken, used this same device [to change the numbers, yellow for green, on his 250cc bike for the 500cc race, hence earning a well deserved second entry money of the day] and raced both races with his 250 Morini. That is what Jacques Bussillet writes in his "L'Âge d'or du Continental Circus", 2015. A well respected journalist, now retired but still very active, for instance on Pit-lane, Jacques Bussillet witnessed what he is talking about: he was there, on summer of 1969, with Appietto at the Sachsenring paddock. And now we know why this 'Paton', sporting yellow numbers, was not Paton green, but Morini red: it is a 250 Morini in disguise! (We know also that it was Attilio Damiani's bike before arriving in France.) -- Last edit: 2016-02-12 20:39:40
