Securing a test outing on the Aprilia is quite a coup for Leon, as this will be a hotly contested seat next year with riders like Vermuelen and De Angelis also in the frame. There's absolutely no reason for Leon to worry about upsetting Yamaha as they clearly have no plans for him, given that they already have a surfeit of riders with a stronger claim to a factory R1 (Toseland, Crutchlow, etc). If he can do it, a couple of solid top ten finishes would be a good way for Camier to show his potential ahead of any other riders chasing the seat.
