Right but look at some of the mortals. Checha went backwards, no one else even showed up until edwards got there, and he was probably just happy to be away from playing marshmellow on the rs3. I'm not even counting max who took a credible 2nd on his one year with the bike.

Even then, can we really credit vr for the crossplane layout if jb made the suggestion from things he learned crewing for doohan? Things that make you go hmm
