Chaz is at a cross road right now! He has an offer of joining Paul Bird's Honda squad. This is a good money earner for Chaz, it also cuts down on all his travelling costs. There is a very real possibility that Chaz will prove himself at this level and use this as a stepping stone into Moto GP. If he stays in 250 at the level of support that he has had so far, his chances of moving into the premier class are nil. Chaz does not earn money by riding in 250 and is looking towards his future. If you are not Spanish or Italian then I am afraid that unless you ride a Moto GP bike you cannot survive in the lower classes. Chaz has the ability(and has proved this already) he now needs factory support. He rode last year on an eight year old machine against superior works and semi works bikes. _________________ Hmmmmm!
