Sykes to be Vermeulen's team mate

Post by matchan »

Finished 9th in the wsbk this year, ahead of both Parkes & Tamada.

Hopefully he'll be a good teammate for Chris.

Sykes is indeed a significant talent and will be a good teammate to Vermeulen. 9th in his debut WSB season is solid, unfortunately for completely overshadowed by his amazing teammate. He's a hard charger and if they can get the 10 to a decent level of competitiveness then he'll turn a few heads.

A talent, he rode the same bike spies did and did didly squat on. Better off putting Westy on it.

Yes, a talent. Finished top 10 in his rookie WSB year on a new bike. Not his fault that Spies is a freak. I love Westy but his year was hardly any more impressive.
