I can see him take a year out to recover his injury and then go to Wsbk.

Didnt Biaggi do the same?

Sitting around for a multiple World champion wont come easy.

A year is a long time.

I can't access Youtube at work, but I can watch embedded youtube videos.

I'll have to wait until I get home.

What do we reckon - a year in the test team recovering and getting his mojo back, then full factory rider with Fabio in 2021 when Rossi leaves? :D

Could shout Cookie (y)

He can get his mojo back on a works machine behind closed curtains with no pressure and if he is quick enough and Yamaha want him then what a brillant option for 2021.
