Oh I'm sure nationality comes into it a bit. But if he wasn't on the grid, I wouldn't defer to Hopkins or Edwards. But I agree, it would be good if he won a few races down the stretch. Although, not a good start here so far.
Incidently, Pedrosa took a bad fall in FP2 and is in doubt for tomorrow. Deep cut to his right knee and a hurt left foot.
