He's doing a lot of laps there this week apparently.

Yeah...I don't see it either. Do they have 'classes' for the bikes, etc......like at Bonneville??

I could see him doing it and failing...almost on purpose as it were...then returning on a different bike to actually make it happen.

Two TV shows...twice the ratings, etc. for the one 'event'.

Possibly, but imho more likely he's learning the track on a "hack" bike prior to some serious laps on a bigger faster bike. It's how they learn the Island after all, just lap after lap after lap.
