how would he do on the world scene ?? in the WSB maybe if the Yam has what it takes and can hang on to it , in Moto GP I am not so sure I think that would be a bigger ask , no offence to the lad He is a far faster man than I would ever have been , but I just don't see him cutting it at GP level , but wherever he ends up I wish him well , as a TT and BSB marshal he has entertained me well even if it was a bit scary in the early days

Lets be controversial,  MotoGP is premier league, WSB is first division, BSB is lower first division dropping into 2nd division.

TT riders are all Hero`s which is tops for me.

OK get the knives out I can take it.
