Spies to race MotoGP @ Valencia

[White trash]

Following the announcement of Spies inclusion in the 2010 MotoGP title chase with the Tech 3 Yamaha team, it has been announced this morning that the hot shot WSBK rookie will race the final round of MotoGP at Valencia next month.

Riding as a wild card Yamaha are providing him with one of their test machines from Japan.

Veddy veddy interesting.

Me hopes he can take it to the factory duo right out of the blocks. That'll get them squirming

That would be optimistic but I guess stranger things have happened. I guess they will be looking at this opportunity as an extra lot of testing that Spies otherwise would not have had. Will be interesting to see if he can adapt to the 800s - I am excited to see how well Simmochelli goes against the big boys aswell. Will be a great season next year in the GP field.

I was jaw dropped to see Simmoncelli in the superbikes recently, on the podium! WTF! Looks like their is going to be some great racing next year, famous last words. Spies in motogp... Be as hard not to watch as lesbian twins.

Will be faster than Toseland, slower than Edwards and finish 7th. If any squirming is observed by Rossi or Lorenzo it will indicate either
a. Piles or
b. They need worming

i would think Mr Stoner,Mr Dovisioso,Mr Pedrosa,at least will disagree(assuming you mean that being on the same bike means Mr Rossi and Mr Lorenzo dont need qualification)

I think Shaun might be getting at the fact that the bike Spies is gonna ride will be a full HP bike, all the current GP bikes have been de tuned so they will last for more than 1 race.

Will the bike Spies gets to ride be the same? His won't need to last, so in theory they can unleash its full potential.

Am I on the right page Mr Harris?

[Sidewinder]

so there is hope for me to be in the gp. wild card

What difference will it make? As it is the last round won't the others be doing the same?

Not necessarily, they may be using an engine that has already done 1 race weekend so would risk blowing it up during the race if they put it to max power! Might see some burnouts though!
