I feel sorry for Elias. I really love his unique riding style. He never looked to me like he wasn't doing everything he could to be as fast as possible. Top level sport can be a cruel mistress.
"That's rooted!! What's next??"
One thing in Elias's defence: he's never ever ridden the same bike 2 years running. It's always been one year on this then jump on to something else then jump on to something different again and so on. Which is why he tends to do better in the second half of the season when he's starting to get a handle on the new ride which is coincidentally around contract negotiation time. Unlike a Stoner or a Rossi there isn't the luxury of taking his own trusted crew with him either. Might have been a different story if he'd cracked a factory ride but not to be.
