MD top road racer, probably one of the best ever and hope he keeps going and challenges Mcguiness and Joey for total wins, but is he a likely contender for a factory yamaha seat in WSB, I don't know if he's the man for the short circuit.
Has he had that much success at circuit racing to deserve a factory backed effort?

Not knocking him at all, but i think he's probably best to keep doing what he does best which is road racing.
