dunno Orrmate, I thought the back end of last season he did a couple of storming performances trying hard to win the championship (though not to be) he deffo tried his best. I think he showed some balls last season.
Oh yeah dont get me wrong, he was impressive last year. But I honestly think Rea is the better rider. When we consider the top-level opportunities Haslam has had thus far in his career, from a very young age, I don't think he's been that successful. Still, I spose its easy to say that sat here, and hes still got plenty of time to show his talent.
Personally I think Leon Camier is the brightest British talent (apart from Toseland, obviously

Yeah you're probably right, but Leon wins on the eye candy stakes.

nah... u all forget that kiyonari spent the entire 03 season, minus suzuka & i cant remeber if he was at welkom, onboard a rc211v for grisini. his results were very poor.

Thing is.. it was just after Daijiro died.. tbh I wouldn't expect a rookie to do well in that situation.. the team had been through a tragic time and I don't think we should judge Kiyo on that year

yes perhaps the 1st few races. but come on it was a golden opportunity for him & i think he would have wanted to show his metal.
