Wishful thinking mostly for Bloomer. There is no way he is going to be a real threat to win any race that features the major tours. Finishing in the top ten from time to time is possible but little else.
He was excited about his Charlotte seventh place run. That track was a lot smoother and easier to handle than most of the tracks he will be encountering.
He has every right to try and regain his former glory, I just hope he is prepared for the reality that is going to set in.
