Sighit, "good rider" and "crashes a lot" in the same sentence is a oxymoron. He was hired to develop the bike and is not delivering on his end of the contract. Lots of good riders; but, BMW needs an exceptional rider to bring in the results with this very unpredictable bike. Lots of velocity but NO vector is where the S1000RR is at present. And yes I saw what Andrew did in race 1&2. At this point it may be cheaper to buy out Ruben's contract rather than let him crash you out of bikes. Attention S1000RR buyers, your delivery may be delayed due to WSBK S1000RR wad-ups by Ruben.
