Sting gone out of MotoGP '09?

[Crasherfromwayback]

Will be the third Yamaha home this time. 4th place behind Stoner, Lorenzo and Rossi.

So does this mean you're backing away from the third Yamaha home prediction?

Meh... whatever. Huge talent but flawed style that I doubt will translate well to a Moto GP bike.

Never have...read it again...3rd YAMAHA home.

Do you think he'd be riding like that if he'd gone through 125 and 250 GP's? Course not. Very talented Superbike banger but a Superbike banger nonetheless. Won't be running with the Aliens and his style won't suit a Moto GP bike.

Anyway we'll just have to wait till next week when Edwards will stuff him to the tonsils and every other rider within sight will be trying to do exactly the same to the noob.

Dunno...Stoner came from a dirt track backround. What do you think about that?

Well at least Spies is realistic.

Unlike anyone on here.

Oh...so over the top I didn't catch it!

I don't think Spies is trying to fox his fellow riders... more likely he's trying to manage the overwought expectations of his more "enthusiastic" fans.

Hope crashers got his Jorge Lorenzo and Colin Edwards voodoo dolls ready and an industrial sized container of pins to impale them with.... he'll be needing some kind on "intervention" this weekend.

Should be a great race. Can't imagine Rossi will be wanting Casey to go into the break with another win and with no championship considerations to cramp his style this time... Should be ballistic at the sharp end.

To be third at least one and possibly both of those two are going to have to fall off.

Hence the voodoo dolls...

Sorry if it went over your head.

So you still think he's going to sit on that bike for 2.5 hrs and beat Edwards?

Did many of your crashes involve concussions?

Care to put money where your oversized mouth is?

Ben is one of a kind for sure!

Pretty ordinary if you asked coke (sorry carbon) hed. He's not only well smart...but a racing expert. Bet he's beat up all sorts of people on the track.

Enough on Spies, what's the general consensus of who will win?

Spies completes first MotoGP free practice in Valencia

Wildcard Sterilgarda Yamaha rider Ben Spies got stuck into the first free practice session of the weekend at the Valencia MotoGP today. Despite being Spies' first outing on the Yamaha YZR-M1, the American made good progress, improving by nearly five seconds over the course of the session and finishing just over a second off the top five in 15th position. Spies made few changes to his M1, preferring to get as much track time in as possible as he begins to understand the different handling and power characteristics compared to his championship winning Yamaha YZF-R1 Superbike.

Tomorrow morning will see Spies looking to bring the set up of his bike further in line with his style of riding ahead of his first GP qualifying session on a Yamaha.


Ben Spies, Sterilgarda Yamaha Team - Position: 15thTime: 1'35.052

"It was actually a really good first session. Position wise it wasn't what we are used to but I haven't ridden a GP bike for a year and it's the first time I've set foot on a Yamaha so to be realistically only a second off being in the mix is pretty good. For the first day, and only 20 laps on the bike I'm happy. I'm starting to understand some of the characteristics of the M1. I'm going to keep baby steps and keep chipping away."

Massimo Meregalli - Sterilgarda Yamaha Team Manager

"For the first day here in this world with no experience on this bike or with these tires Ben did as usual a good job, but we didn't expect anything else. For sure just one practice is not enough time to say too much but we cannot say that we are not satisfied. Ben didn't want to use more than one set of tyres, he just wanted to spend some time on his bike and get used to the differences from his superbike. Tomorrow he will make another step, I'm very optimistic as I was all season with him."

You been smoking crack again?

You been smoking crack again?

And drinking tequila

I'd say seeing as he beat the Suzuki GP regulars with ease...once even while really sick...and seeing as he'd never really ridden that pile of poo either...would mean that yeah...the M1 will be no real problem.

Mate the bangs on the head must have caused more damage than we thought because you talk endless shit.

This is what really happened.

He replaced Capirossi who was injured at Donnington... finished fourteenth and was handily beaten by Vermuelen in eighth. That means you were wrong shithead.

At Laguna he finished eighth and was handily beaten again by Vermuelen who was third. That means you were wrong again shithead.

The only place he beat Vermuelen was at Indianapolis. A track he's raced and tested on his whole racing life. A track that was included in the MotoGP calendar for the first time that year, an asshole of a track and a track that was experiencing the tail end of hurricane Ike. It was wet and cold and blowing so bad that the race was red flagged early. Perfect environment for local knowledge to shine through. He finished sixth and Vermuelen ninth.

Did you actually watch any of this you cracker dumbfuck?

Seriously you need to up your meds before your tiny pinhead explodes right off your shoulders.

Love and kisses.

This is how I see it. He beat Capirossi at Laguna whilst sick as...and both of them at Indy with ease. Why wank on like a retard about poor Vermulen and Capirossi not knowing Indy...and saying Spies has ridden it all his life? What a tossbag. As you may've noticed...top racers like SPIES can learn tracks pretty quick...so no good sucking Vermulens arse by saying the poor guy doesn't know Indy...oh...and it was raining too...boohoo...haven't you noticed Vermulen is suposed to be a wet weather specialist mate?

So seeing as I said he beat the Suzuki regulars with ease (which he did at Indy) and once while he was sick (Capirossi at Laguna)...which part was total shit?

Oh that's right...none of it.

I think you think you're just a bit too good mate. But I bet you're not nearly as good or clever as you think you are.

Rossi

Lorenzo

Pedrosa

Stoner falls off battling with Rossi.

[Crasherfromwayback]

Hope crashers got his Jorge Lorenzo and Colin Edwards voodoo dolls ready

Hey Einstein...can you please explain why if I've said he'll finish behind Rossi and Lorenzo...I'll need a Lorenzo voodoo doll for my prediction to come right...oh yeah...Edwards may beat him...so I need Lorenzo to crash!!!

Well lets go right back to basics seeing as it's all you can cope with. I think Spies will beat both Edwards an Toseland. Better for you?

To be third at least one and possibly both of those two are going to have to fall off.

Hence the voodoo dolls...

Sorry if it went over your head.

So you still think he's going to sit on that bike for 2.5 hrs and beat Edwards?

Over my head? You sure you're not now making up stories to cover your sorry ass?

Here's my offer. I'll bet you $100.00 cash he beats Edwards and Toseland.

Let me know if you're keen.

If not...fuck up.

Ummm, how the fuck did a discussion on how a new rider to MotoGP will fare become a personal attack and shit slinging match? Ever raced a motorcycle? I mean "raced" not circulated at a track day.

HAve some respect, fuckhead.
