you guys think spies will do as well in GP? I don't really keep up with things but he seems to be a very good rider from what I remember...

Yeah he pretty much doesn't suck.

I think the final WSB races are this weekend and I hoping that Ben will win both races and win the title. We will have to wait and see. As far as moto GP I think that will be a chalange that he is ready to go after. I can't wait to see him in Moto Gp.

i actually liked toseland until he pulled that offseason stunt with edwards mechanic. Rule #1 of racing - beat your teammate. He never has.

sells Toseland jewelry on his website. aweful.

Spies is a talent - but this is Haga's year

Ben will be competetive no matter were he races. Now given the right bike and a little good fortune he might even win.

I don't like that he is going to a factory supported team. He deserves a full factory ride.. He's better than Pedrosas' team-mate. (I use the word "team" loosely with Pedrosa) But a factory ride with Kawi or Suzuki, (at this time) may shorten his motogp lifespan dramatically.. Would hate to see him bump Nicki. I think Honda shafted the mid-Hayden..

An there ya have it..______________________________________SPID

MotoGP has a rule that rookies must start on a Satellite team in their first year before moving up to a full factory ride. The word is that he will replace either Rossi or Lorenzo in 2011 should Lorenzo leave (Honda) or Rossi leave (Ducati). This of course presumes he delivers some results, which he should do.

I exepect him in the top4 for his "wildcard" ride the last race @ Valencia.

wasn't there some talk of Rossi going to cars or am I misremembering?

02 VFR Rider · 10-22-2009, 09:27 AM

no I think that was a rumor started by Rossi to mess w/ everyone.
Ducati has offered big BIG $$$$ to Lorenzo and Pedrosa to sign w/ Duc for next season but Lorenzo was quoted as saying that if he did poorly it would be the end of his career.
Danny felt the same way.
Rossi and Lorenzo are having some issuses and looks like Rossi will go to rally cars, WSBK or Ducati next season.
IMO he will stay racing bikes either WSBK or moto w/ Duc
