It`s a good point Eddy. I (maybe wrongly) assumed that he had fell `in love` with the tt and he would continue riding there and build on his experience year after year, but as you point out, maybe he realises that he can have a long and profitable career on short circuits with less risk.

Of course I am only guessing and only JB knows whats best for him, and I wish him all the best where ever he races. I`m sure he will be missed on the Island tho.
