Sam and I have been batting this question about lately and he thought it warranted a BBS poll. Of these three riders, who will be the first to win a MotoGP race in 2011? Rossi Spies Stoner
Call me a fool, but... Of the three, Spies is the only one not adjusting to a completely different bike, and he's already toying with winning now on the satellite bike.
Stoner has won and can win, plus he's on a proven winner (Honda). Spies' chances will improve and he certainly can win, but later in the year, not earlier. Rossi's on the Duc...it will take him a while to sort that machine out. all of them will have to wait for Jorge to crash in order to post a win...
although i agree spies will be strong, he is nowhere near toying with a win. finishing third is AWESOME, but its still a long ways from being near the winner whom is 10 or more seconds ahead "cruising" to victory.i hope i am wrong!
Yeah, but now Rossi is much older, and has to deal with Lorenzo who is undeniably better this year, and Spies who will be pretty good next year. Plus he'll be on a new bike. Lorenzo, Spies, or Pedrosa. But definetely not Stoner or Rossi.
spies will win the next race this season...he's on a roll. the first race next season is his, too...just cuz.
