Grinner will do well.
But, a note of caution...... Rolfo thinks that all BSB riders are rubbish.

grinner, heh? that smile does look plastered to his face. i like sykes, as neat a rider as there is. never falls, always maximizing the bike's potential.
i think this either confirms corser remaining on yamaha or strengthens his bargaining power. the new r1 will require some development and there is none better than corser.

^ yeah agreed...it would behoove Yamaha to re-sign Corser to develop the new R1 & with Haga's contract off the table, they should have the money to do so...anyways, best of luck to Sykes and it is refreshing to see a new, young talent getting an opportunity in WSBK as opposed to recycling another ex-MotoGP retread into the fold.

Sykes earned his spot - if the bikes good he'll do well.
