As far as I remember, it is VR that cheating with mind game in Sepang 2015 conference press. It is VR that cheating by knock down MM in Sepang 2015. It is VR that cheating in 2015 because he is slow rider but want to be a champion.

KMA55... I've made the same comment many times about Ducati and giving Shakey reward rides in WSBK. I think he deserves that many times over. But... I wonder if he would really want that. Imagine if he didn't perform too well because of a lack of testing, familiarity with traction control etc... and came bimbling in at Jerez or Quatar in 12th, 13th, 14th...
The immediate comments would be... "See... Big fish in BSB pond, but little sprat on WSBK stage..." Which would not be fair. Rea, Davies et al have had many seasons with same team, bike etc... to get to the level they are at now. Tall order to expect Shakey to just jump on a WSBK Panigale and jump on the top step of the podium. Wildcard could do more harm than good.
He should have gone to WSBK in 2004 after first BSB win - and stayed there. By now he might have won that 6 times rather than BSB.
Still one of, if not the best British rider of his generaton in my opinion.
