Although, I beleive I heard somewhere (Julian Ryder and Toby Moody on eurosport) that the contract he signed was with the yamaha factory, who have the capacity to place him where they like, within reason I suppose. His "primary mission" is to win the WSBK championship. He looks on course to acheive this objective, which would then leave him free to go into Moto GP and fight against the evil HRC empire

Remains to be seen, but I think he would be better for tech 3 than toseland (shame to say that)
