James may get on well at Motogp - He is riding that honda, you never know.
Dead right about satelite teams they should be supported more, but in saying that Honda have only started given real support since Rossi left. Rememder Max & Doohan - how much support did Max get he was aways 3 races behind Doohan. Satelite team beating factory team - Don't think so!

Factory teams wouldn`t like to get embarrased by satellite teams, but manufacturers would love thier satellite teams to embarras rival factory teams. That`s the logic here, I`m all for it. One of the many secrets to Honda`s sucess is the number of satellite bikes, and the amount of support they get.
As for JT, he`ll need all the adapting skills he has to change his riding style, otherwise his debut in motogp may rival Haydens in the "rough it up, throw it in and slide the rear" factor. I hope he makes the jump, and does well, guys like him and Vermulen have a daunting task of reclaiming the reputation of ex-superbikers in motoGP.

True, there`s really no place for backing it in anymore, it just costs time. Shame, it was fun to watch, remember McCoy`s famou ZX-RR slide? Awsome stuff.

yeah, it's great stuff to watch, but it's just not the fastest way round a track imo.
