I reckon Spies will win his first moto gp race at Laguna this year...then never look back.

Rossi has just announced he will stay for 3 more years . Here's a shot of that moment. G.

By then he'll have been beaten by both Stoner (again) then Spies!

Rossi started well earlier than Spies...and had an old man that'd been there and done that to a much lesser degree. Spies hasn't had such a head start. But he's making up for it.

Surely Spies is Yamaha's back-up plan if Rossi jumps over to Ducati?
How great 2011 would be, Ducati Rossi vs Stoner and Yamaha Lorenzo vs Spies.

Would be great! Maybe Stoner off to Honda though just for good measure!!

Rossi off to Ducati! Now that would be worth seeing....but then I am biased !

It'll be interesting to see how Spies goes this year but I don't think he'll be up for the title!

Peter,peter,peter,....... I thought the last two years would have softened your approach, you're making Steve a rich man ! Gaz.
ps so who was the Italian who was chasing Stoner's wife ? Stoner just might need stress leave again.

My 2 cents worth/................ spies will win a moto gp (laguna is a good bet..................mine is Silverstone)
But he will struggle at some circuits........... poss 4th in champs at end of year.
Lorenzo and Stoner will harrass Rossi all season and it wil be close........... but the MASTER will "pull it out of the hat" when it counts
ROSSI 2010 WORLD CHAMP........................ AGAIN

i agree Lorenzo and Stoner will harrass Rossi all season but o think Lorenzo will take it out.

Suzuki have turned a new leaf:....normally they do really well in testing before fronting up to the first GP and going backwards. Looks like they are going backwards a lot earlier this season. Nice to know they are trying something different, lol.

I believe Spies was advised to walk away from a contract with Suzuki for MotoGP

WSB, USA Superbike, UK Superbike bla bla Suzuki is there, just not in MotoGP

Guess that has a bit to do with Budgets I guess, as Suzuki is the smallest of all the 4 japa brands, but they are there and kawai has gone

Aye...but it's a shame after the early glory years to see Suzuki basically making up the numbers.

I predict Ben will win the Moto GP at Aragon. (September 19th - new track replacing Hungary). I believe no one has been there - so should suit Ben.

Crasherfromwayback

19th March 2010, 18:02

Of course Mladin would say Spies was awesome. Because Spies beat him and Mladin thinks he (Mladin) is hot shit. So in his mind, Spies MUST be better than Rossi - otherwise Spies couldn't have beaten Mladin.

Mladin is the worlds most under rated racer man. He's beaten Spies more often that Spies has beaten him, and I'm sure could've won as many world Superbike titles as he'd wanted. Dunno if you have...but I've seen Spies race...and he rides a bike as hard as Stoner does.

Yeah, as Pete said Mladin won more races than Spies in the years Spies won the AMA Superbike championship, and on exactly equal machinery, so Mladin doesn't have to cover his arse. As good as Spies is, Mladin was just as good....he just made a lot fewer friends.

It's interesting (well I think at least!), some people say (think) that to be a top level racer you (they) have to be a fat headed arsehole. I've met lots. Some are...some aren't. So as much as I admire racers like Mladin and Gobert , I have more respect for the guys that stay human.

You can have the 'death stare' and still be a cool cunt. Isn't that right Eddie Lawson!!??

Ben will struggle as all riders who come from WSB seem to do.mostly it seems due to the different weight and set up of the MotoGP bikes..but he is on a fast bike so he may win a race....Rossi seems to get better the bigger the challenge...and the challenge has never been bigger then this year....Rossi is no doubt the best rider we have seen...and these young guys need to beat him to be better.......I couldn't think of a better scenario....and I believe if they stay unbroken we are in for one of the best MotoGP years ever...as a huge Yamaha fan I hope Rossi/Lorenzo/spies do the business....but with all the technical changes this year...who knows....my feeling is no pattern will emerge until round 4 or 5...

so...Rossi over Spies....and Lorenzo (the stuck up spanish turd.....third)....and then crasher stoner fourth.....

Not that many technical changes this year...next year sure.

Stoner

Rossi

Lorenzo

Spies

Ya Rossi is the man, but I think he is really looking forward to have Spies to dice with. The thing about Spies is that not only does he go HARD, but he is so methodical about building up speed in increments. The kid is bad ass.

I (like you crasher) - am old enough to remember Mladins stellar rise through the aussie system - then straight onto a Cagiva 500GP machine. Un - fookin- bee - leevable .

Umm,
That is a bit like saying nobody can ever be compared to Surtees, as they haven't won a World Championship on a 350 and F1 car....

The fact we will see them on equivalent machinery will help sort out if Ben is as good as Valentino....
I think Mr Rossi has a lot of competition this year, and that is great.
Great for the sport, and great for Rossi himself.

At the end of the year, the world champion will well deserve it!
