yeah i'm sure it takes a while to get used to things but cant see anyone looking at him performance and saying "jeez, this boy can ride, lets get him on board".
I think Vermuelen has the best chance out of the three proposed riders to be honest.
He's won a world champioship for them already, came close last year and is doing ok this year - and delivered second in the Suzuka 8 hour. Honda LOVE the 8 hour.
Camel Honda team principal Sito Pons commented: “Today Shane managed to complete this challenging race pretty well, and scored points, he didn’t make any mistakes, although he obviously he needs time to learn all the secrets of this bike to get the most out of it. In the next race in Qatar he will undoubtedly take another step forward.”
...in other words "What were we thinking? At least we get that fast Aussie bloke to ride it properly for two races. Bugger!"
I think Shakey should of done a an OJ and took the bull by the horns, if he crashes he crashes and that's racing, but look at OJ nearly won a race, OK a track he knows, wet which he likes and a bike he's had time on, but to come into a team and do that, fair play!
It's a bit like Lavilla at GSE doesn't know the circuits and look where he is now

yep, but dont forget he`s Racing with the absolute creme de la creme of motorcycle Racing, so In the grand scale of things, 18th aint too bad and at least he beat Ruben Xuas, what his excuse then?
