How on earth can you say that movnig to BSB will hurt his future, are you on crack.
BSB is well respected around the world as being the next best championship any were after Moto GP, come on Rutter was a an HRC built bike just to try and dominate the series without much joy. Without it none of the Brits we had would have moved onto Moto Gp such as Renolyds, Walker, Emmet, Hodgson, Rutter himself had a spell on the Vtwin, Bayliss granted he is a Ausey but won the BSB title firts before his climb up on so on.
Paul Denning was moved over to replace gary taylor rather than some on from japan or Moto Gp now, Dave hagen builds WCM engines ex cresent spanner man and so on and so on.
Rather than be stuck on a privatere Aprillia he will be given a chance to make a name for himself on four stroke which is agreat training ground for GP1 with teams that are basically "factory", look at Vermulian BSB to WSB now lining up for MOTO GP honda. Sorry to rant on but I have worked in BSB and WSB, small scale overall but never the less I had a chance to see what the racing scene was all about and respect what it stood for.
Good luck to him, put some cash in his pocket and his name in the headlines.
