mmm... I wonder how much Rutter's mid season injury had to do with his lack of pace at the end of the season. I'm sure his injury led to Kiyonari doing all the development work on the tyres while suiting Kiyonari they didn't suit Rutter's riding style at all.
Yes I agree its a bit sad that a young British rider didn't win the championship and next year it could be a dumping ground for foreign 'stars' who can't get world superbike rides.
