    It's hard to see how he can turn up at P-R in decent form, he's got another month of the cross season to race and will then need to take a break which leaves less than a month to prepare to race over 6 hours at P-R.

    I've read he's shortening his cross season to prepare, or at least reduced his cross season from 42 races to 30. I guess he wants to prepare well enough for it to be a realistic test run for the future.

    So far he seems to have a reasonable road season May to August?
