He showed loyalty to Suzuki. Yes CV has a win on the 4 stroke zuke, but look at where they finished. John was usually ahead of him and only finished behind his team mate at the end of the year once (he also tied KRJR in 2005 I think). It is the 3rd race of the year and if you have listened to what he said, RDP had a completely different riding style and Kawasaki are constantly trying to get it set up to make John comfortable on it. He didn't come up through the ranks or with a big sponsor, he earned his shot and Kawasaki must have seen something they like to offer him a big paycheck. Michael Bartholemy sounds very happy with him and always has positive things to say. GO JOHN GO!!!
How does Rossi not being there have anything to do with it? Last I checked he spent most of last season at the same places Casey was at and was usually behind him. Remember Qatar, or how about Catalunya? Rossi was all over his rear wheel and he didn't crack.
How many of you talking **** about Hopper said the same thing about Stoner last year? How did he do, oh yeah thats right he dominated the series. And for those "they need Rossi" people, he has SFA with out his overnight express Michelins. Coincidence, I think not...
