First he's over with KAWI (Kawasaki KRT in Europe) .... He gives his perspective on RV2 racing over there also ... This guy also gave an interesting comparison between racing in EU and the states also ... Are South Africans known to be honest, straightforward people or what? This guy and Grant Langston are the only 2 SAs (other than Mandela) I can think of now but both seem to speak ~straight from the few times I read their articles...
Combine this with an RV2 move and this has the look of the Japanese bikes, KAWI, moving into the EU home of ktm and removing them from the top step.
Good luck to Mr Rattray in EU next yr ..

(This is what you call the jet-setter life-style ...)
You also have different nations, different tracks, different time zones, different languages, different food—that has to be gnarly!
It’s cool, though, for the world championship, you know? You’re traveling around the world and seeing different cultures and racing different tracks. I think next year we have seven new tracks that no one has seen. It’s going to be awesome going to those tracks. Everyone is on a level status. It’s cool. Then you go back to Europe and you have a race down in France, and then you’re off to Italy and then to Spain. You have all these different cultures and different foods. Some places don’t even have English menus and you’re trying to explain to them that you want chicken. It’s pretty cool for myself. For me, seeing the world is awesome. That’s how the world championship has always been different. Next year we go down to Argentina. I’ve never been there before. We’ll go to Mexico and Brazil. I’ve never been to those places before. For me to go there and experience it is awesome.
