<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(frosty58 @ Aug 8 2007, 11:28 PM) [snapback]83800[/snapback]<div class='quotemain'> rea... young, fast & promising. kiyo not the jap for the job. Kiyo is the best jap rider there is, he is seriously fast and Honda have a lot of faith in him. Rea is young and quick but Kiyo has him beat, move them both to international level and i think Kiyo would move further ahead based on his experience and that fact that he already exists in a foreign culture. Kiyo is ready to move on. |

Well, I guess that answers a few questions. Yes Dorna wants certain nationalities in the Series and I guess "The Hoff" may be on the way out. Man... A lot of seats are going to be open from the looks of it. I don't hear a lot about anyone else other than Lorenzo coming over this year from 250. |

He will always be the nearly man, and more significantly he has missed his GP window of opertunity and wont ever make it. |

Sorry to repeat myself but: Well a lot of non-Americans would think the same about Spies, he's done nothing to prove himself apart from win on a dominant bike against a team-mate who's frankly, past it. |

Considering how much raw speed he has shown, how quickly he got to grips with the famously challenging British circuits and competative championship i would have more faith in him. I would rate him above Spies if i was looking for a Gp rider to take from a national series. |
