After winning three of the first four WorldSSP races this season, reigning champion Dominique Aegerter remains convinced he should be in WorldSBK.
The Swiss rider has once again been sensational to start the year and looks to be in complete control of the championship.
Aegerter has a commanding 30 point lead over fellow Yamaha rider and series rookie Lorenzo Baldassarri, who is the only other rider to win a race so far this season.
But while Aegerter and Ten Kate seem to be a perfect combination in Supersport, the ex-Moto2 rider is aiming to make 2022 his last season in the intermediate class.
Aegerter was left furious at receiving limited interest from WorldSBK teams last year - claimed nationality was a big reason why
Aegerter said: "I couldn't win much more and had a great season. Okay, two or three times I had bad luck with red flags and at the beginning of the season I stumbled a little because we didn't have enough engine power and maybe there was a lack of experience in the team.
"But of course, I'm 31, an old man for a rider. But there were riders in the Superbike World Championship last year who were 36 and 38 years old, I'm a few years younger than them.
"Still, I didn't get the chance and was always the B option. That pissed me off a bit. Nobody is interested in me as a Swiss. If I were an American or Turkish, then I would clearly have more chances."
