Looks like he will get a ride at the British GP on Capirossi's bike.
Will be interesting to see how he gets on. Has done really well in the States  |

| Has he ever rode at Donnington before ? I can't see him being inside the top ten but it'll be good practice for him and will help him get acustomed to the bike before his wild card rides in the american MotoGP rounds. |

Don't particularly like him. Towards the end of last season when it was a very close run to the title between him and Matt Mladin he crashed out whilst trying to stay with Mladin. The thing that cheesed me off was that he just layed in the track thereby getting it red flagged. Restarted on a spare bike and eventually won the title by one point.
Worthy Champ the previous year but that was a deliberate attempt to get the race stopped so he would still be in the chase.
However, he is a talented rider in the States, it will be interesting to see how he goes on a strange track in a different series. |
