Not really, someone who has been out of racing that long can't be the benchmark for the bikes potential, especially after one weekend. Even if he was that good
Troy over the years... 2002 1.32.6 998 would of been tenth on todays grid 2007 1.32.1 999 would of been seventh 2008 1.31.4 1098 would of been third 2015 1.32.2 1199 ended up fourteenth
14th on the grid and 1 sec off pole. Pretty good I say for a washed up racer(his Twitter sig). Big highside in fp3 shows how hard he's riding. Despite wearing superman leathers at Brands he is not actually Superman. Still predicting top 10. Meanwhile Chaz could win, be great to see 1199 win a race after all these years.
Top 10 would be mega result, and add in a few no finishes and the difference a race head makes and its a definite possible drom 14th
Lots of stuff emerging now saying he will be riding the Thailand round and possibly 3 more rounds all together. Looking forward to seeing how he settles in with a bit more bike time.
