He won on his debut with Yamaha on a bike that was crap until he got his hands on it.

As for Laconi, it must come down to money, Walker was by far the best Kwack rider last year, he even won a race after being last on the first lap!!

walker cant bring the sponsporship that laconi and nieto can, nieto has private sponsorship from hugo boss that runs into the £100,000 bracket i believe, rizla arent even paying walker that to race for them thats the difference.

It's not just about money mate it involves polatics as well.

Laconi is realy the only french rider and FGsport want to keep a High profile in WSB, We how ever have JT so as far as FG are concerned Walker was not realy needed.

FG pay teams to keep riders as well.
