Good news, I've been hoping Hacker would get this ride, he really
deserves this one, and more than RL Hayden, who got the Kawi wildcard
last year, or Davies, who hasn't quite matched Rapp's performances this
year at Attack. And it's great that he's had two days on the bike
testing in Japan, so it won't be like Duhamel on the Gresini bike last year.
Just desserts, he's really done a great job over the last several years,
and not quite received the respect he deserves. He's outperformed Hayden
on the Kawi SB the last two years after getting snubbed for a Yamaha SB
ride after winning both SS championships in 2006. He's been on the
podium the last six SB races and in 10 of the last 17 races.
