Dont think Vale will ever go to WSBK, only reason he would is if he tried rally or F1 and fails utterly and comes back to bikes a la Hailwood.
But I think no team in Motogp would ever turn down the chance to run him even if he did walk away from bikes and come back.
Think the Pedrosa argumant is interesting. Loris was always considered too small for a 500 but got on OK evenutually, though he does look like a middleweight boxer these days.
Think Dani will have to do the same as he is sooooo tiny. But we will have to wait to see if he has the talent and speed to win.
Think he is about the best prospect coz he is so strong in the mind, doesnt take risks really and seems able to speed up at will as Vale does.
But then its kinda easy to do that on a 250, whether he can sit on Vale's tail for 28 laps and set the fastest lap on the 29th and last is the question. Or he might be the type that goes away from the front like Mick used to? he does it on a 250.
Did Vale used to play with people in 250 like he does in GP?
