    Think he will do well, good rider IMO. To be 1.5 off dani is good going so soon. Not even sure Aragon is somewhere he would have much experience at?

    Plus hes got White boots on, must be fast....

    the gung ho attitude comes from his upbringing,
    his dad was a bit mental at times on the bikes.
    I personally dont like him that much ....but then
    most of the riders from round my way get really
    up there own arse's when they make it into the big
    league lol

    YES. Come on Jonny.
    P.S. I think it was Max Biaggi who said "This is motorcycle racing not ballet dancing" :)

    If JR can finish ahead of Bradl then I think it'll be job done for him. I like the lad and his work ethic. Some say gun-ho, I say, fighting for position. Is GP the right move for him, possibly not, but I hope that he gets 2 solid finishes and it's good to see local talent getting recognised for their loyalty to the brand. Having been on a Honda pretty much all his career and also their top rider in WSBK for a lot of years now it's good to see him get a go on the RC213. He did have a wee run around on Casey's 212, but this is the big show now and I hope he shines.
