He's good on 2 wheels.
At a test session at Valencia, I think it was, he was lapping 3 secs off the lap record on Casey Stoners Ducati - impressive, by any measure! Apparently they ( the Ducati race team), were all impressed by his corner entry speeds.
At a recent superbike race in Germany, he came in third, being beaten only by the current German champions.
Apparently he's really taking to bike racing, in his retirement, having a Desmocedici and a 1098R, set up for track days, at least.
Wait 'til he has his first big off, then see how keen he is...........
“- He felt that his whole life was some kind of dream and he sometimes wondered whose it was and whether they were enjoying it.”
