Really shame about Eillson but compared with Checca he was slow. I really hope that Jezza is back in Motogp.. Ilmor couldn't do any worse. He knows the circuits and lets be honest he's not slow! Did some good work at KR.
...yeah, it's all been down hill since I beat him in 1998
He'll be ok, he's one of the best riders Britain has. He still didn't get the same chassis as Checa, and towards the end of the season, he wasn't that far behind either.
Get him on a decent Superbike and he'll worry the top riders.
