Well done Scotty! A couple of things from my limited perspective. He is super young, a fact readily overlooked because he is human size. 2. He has improved massively as would be expected with increase experience. 3. He no longer has to contend against the "inferior" bike of Marc Marquez. 4. He no longer has to compensate for being a detrimentally normal sized Brit given rider bike leveling of playingfield. 5. He has to fight for his place at the table by virtue of results, unlike the Esparagu(s) who are handed it in a platinum platter. 6. Thers ars no rules to bend or dismiss to give Spanish riders advantages, they ran out of dry eraser marker when Marc left. 7. .... his training, tgats ........, he was well fit last year, the difference has been his confidence and mental fortitude...this and a greater attention to tire management.
