Yup. He was riding the Marlboro sponsored YZR 500 2 stroker that way in GPs aways back. Had plenty of low sides chasing Rossi. He never learned any other style but did get better at setting up his bikes for his style. If he had more of a repetoire he would have been a champion in something other than the 250s...
