Really? They signed a 41 year old..... over Gary McCoy? I don't care how good he was, Schwantz and Doohan were also good, was is the important word. I think 41 is just a bit old to be racing MotoGP bikes.

i think thats all ilmor as a team are looking for this season.
but if you put jezzer on a fast bike he is more than capable of getting up the sharp end. dont write him off yet.

i said "if" and i didn't say ilmor was a fast bike,no way of telling that yet. but a lot of people seem to think jezzer is slow and only a development rider. wonder how fast he could be on a factory honda or yamaha. guess we will never no for sure but if you look at his previous on crap bikes my gut feeling says he would be right up there.
im glad he has the ilmor ride
