Not sure he probably will make a better living riding in the US mixing AMA nationals and Supercross guest spots and hitting the odd GP when his commitments allow, since this was the first time the World Champs were held outside of Europe and the start list was a bit more pacific centric than usual, the result may have been different if held at a Euro venue. I guess it depends on his sponsors choice, the name Tomac is not quite the crowd puller it would be in a cycling event but I would be surprised if he was not one of Troy Lee's favourites so they may well feel he is a worthy clothes horse to make a global star. Honda will be a lot more clinical about what they want him to do.
