Been discussing this with a friend without conclusion.

What is the true story behind Phil Read and Bill Ivy's distribution of the 125 and 250 championship that did not appear to be honoured by one or the other. Did Yamaha sack Bill or Phil because of the reluctance to follow orders.

Was there a altercation about start money being withheld by one from the other. Was this settled by pressure from SMBH.

Is there a detailed account written anywhere.

So many questions, does it matter? Well yes; Phil Read has been held up as the villain by many, this may be an injustice.
