The boys old plain and simple, and I'll bet Aaron Slight is feeling pretty smug at the results Okada has acheived thus far. How many DNFs' and crashes has he had. To be fair to the guy there must be some hidden agenda behind sending poor old taddy to WSB, as there seems to be no logical reason for him to be there. It's a pity that we have lost guys like Slight, and Haga,and by the years end I'll bet we loss a few more of the WSB regulars Chilli, Fujiwara,et al are all old blokes (who can admitedly toss a good superbike around), but the change of time is against these older statesman of WSB and they will all be gone.
