Last year he doubled at Qatar.  and had one of the best races i've ever seen in race 1 at Assen.

if all goes to plan, he'll be on new engines for Qatar, Le Mans, Assen, Laguna, Misano, and Philip Island.

...top 5 finish by the halfway point (Sachsenring)?  Podium by Laguna?

Schwantz says "I think Ben will win a race in his first season for sure."  He also said that The Ben will be running with the Aliens in the second half of the season.

Do you need a wet nap, or are you just wallowing in it?

I think The Ben is doing a great job. I also remember JT impressing a lot of people in pre-season testing too so we shall wait and see. If he really is up with the aliens by the second half of the season then I will really be impressed and may need a wet nap myself.
