You apparently have mis-read or misconstrued my post.
I will run it by you again. 
Maybe if a team is looking for 2nd rider, or if it is a marginally funded second tier satellite outfit.
I really doubt if the factory Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki or Kawasaki Teams would care where riders are from... if they have GOAT level talent... like you guys claim Stoner does.
Your Noyes article is interesting, I love his stuff, but it no way addresses my post. The fact that Repsol wanted Honda to sign a latin when Rossi left is well known and makes sense.
They ultimately signed Barros, but they sure as hell didn't pass on any hot, young GOAT level talent to do so. There wasn't much to choose from in the 2003 off season...
The fact that Spanish and Italian riders excel has more to do with the overall level of interest in the sport and grassroots programs than corporate string pulling.
