I think the truth is he is older...his aura of invincibility battered by the broken leg and shoulder....and he's on a bike that is NOTORIOUS for being difficult to ride FAST. I honestly think he made a big mistake by falling for the "dream team, Italian rider on an Italian bike!!!" hype.

First race is coming up....and we'll get our first indication as to where the truth REALLY lies.

If his shoulder is so bad why'd he race at vroom? Why'd he do stand up wheelies at the superbike test? Why hasn't he acted impared anywhere besides the back of the gp11?
