Time will tell. He's still relatively young, but he proved himself in Suzuka with quite a good race in terrible conditions.
He'll get better with time. |

He is riding 2 stroke yamaha. and we saw that the future would be on 4 at suzuka. Do you think manufactures will keep 2 stroke next year? already proved that 4 is better. John should switch to 4 soon althogh i don't know if his riding style fits 4.
he is not even 20 yet. he is in learning stage. hope yam is patient and gives him enough time. |

By next year every manufacturer will be capable of supplying 4 strokes to every team currently contesting the MotoGP calender.
This year is seen as the transition year from 2 strokes to 4. |

i wish the rules would let the 2 strokes stay even over a longer period of time rather than this year and next. they should give 2 stroke 4s a weight break and twins and tripples more displacement.
*enters far off day dream* id love to see a 600cc kr3 and hondas v5 duking it out up front for the win |
