Thanks... I guess that I should have wiki-ed him before I posted. I must have him confused with someone else who is/was in MotoGP. Go Ben! :up:
Not wanting to put him down but qualifying and racing are totally different-we all know that. How many guys have qualified well then finished mid pack? too many too count.
hey man, its the offseason. you'll get it tuned up by sunday! honest mistake- both were little italian guys on big italian bikes...
Yeah but it shows he can run the times. I don't see him having a problem with the racing part. I think he'll prove he can dice it up with the world's best just fine in the first race...
Sorry to bust your theory......but can we not recall Spies qualifying a majority of the time with the fastest lap time in both '07 and '08 and I seem to recall that he won quite a few races....ohhh yea, and the championships as well. I think he has a proven record of not only qualifying well, but also finishing at the front in races. Just my $0.02
Spies looked good in free qualification and not to shaby in 1st qualification. He is not my favorite but I think he has a great chance to make the USA proud :up: BETTER THEN THE FRENCH.... Oh wait... there isn't any Forgot to mention... That R1 that Spies is riding makes me drool
exactly.... like Dupuniet... not much to get excited... Well, I still envy anyone that makes it that far and respect all of them
Thats fine and dandy but this isn't the AMA where the only competition he had was Mladin. If I am wrong, I'll eat crow,
