Johnny has little problem remembering his years at Honda WSB where he was all but killing himself for the glimpse of a podium.
If Suzuki had been an option this time last year, then he'd have been jumping at it, with the GSX-RR looking at a podium contender most weekends. Quite different story at the moment, obviously.
If JR wins a fourth title as straight forward as this year has been, there might be a lack of credibility creeping in. It seems that his class sorely needs a unified ECU to close the field up, but I still think that JR will be the front runner. I can't help but think that Chaz rides harder than JR, and that Camier is the rider that makes the most of what he has. So a good championship format will see those guys at least properly battling every weekend.
But what's the choice of words in Johnny's statement? Have there been unofficial enquiries, as opposed to official ones? It always seems that adding unnecessary adjectives means a story has some legs.

If JR decides to move to MGP, which I really would love to see, I think a certain Toprak Razgatlioglu would take his seat in WSBK.

I believe that Vale is a fool for this unless it's all part of the PR stunt to get the sales of race day tickets.
He IS an old man in world level intense physical sport that this is. The reward will never outweigh the risks of this. What is he risking it for? Ashamed that Danny Pedrosa will overtake him in the standings?

Maybe Vale doesn't want anybody to rude his bike, its clear the 2 tech 3 guys and Maverick have broken how easy it is on a Yamaha so you have to question why the GOAT isn't in contention.
I think it's simply vanity for Vale at this stage and nothing else, no reason to take such a risk with no real gain

@GOOGLEM01 So? There'd be 4 or 5 rounds in East Asia (a large market for motorcycles) in the series. When you look at the calendar as it stands out of the 18 rounds this year, 12 of them have been in Europe...4 in Spain alone!
