at least a podium,if not win yes.
if he can make up for the ...... start he deserves another year (so that bradl can get his seat in 14
)
but the podium streak has got to start NOW.
don't know too much about how he feels about living in europe and all that, but i just can't imagine him collecting pay check on a crt.rather take one of the wsbk seats ,get another championship or two and then go back be happy at home racing hayes.
not the best thing considering his talent and opportunities but if you've got the money and living near to home is important to you i can respect that. kinda like what casey does next year

I don't see it being edited. I still stand by my post, cause I think they are the few who could have any effect on him.

Spies gets passed by Randy Depuniet on a CRT. Still holds his factory spot. Food poisoning sucks, he's a real brave man for going out and racing. I don't hold his .... performance against him.

Spies did a fantastic rear guard action fro JLo to win on Sunday.....otherwise those CRTs might have caught up and beaten Jorge......i am sure Lorenzo thanked Spies for his effort.......
What would Yamaha do without Spies efforts?

care to elaborate?
Yeah, I'll bet that €1,800,000 pad on Lake Como he rents is an absolute ....-hole. Must suck to be a factory Yamaha GP rider.

Ben in 2012 isn't like 2011 or 2010. I thought the 1000 suit better for him. He must sort out ASAP, one of the days a CRT may overtake him if he is not careful. Would love to see him fighting for podium and win with the like of Biaggi, Melandry, Checa, Rea, Haslam, Laverty and Sykes in WSBK. Then come back again to mOtoGp after winning the championship or go back to US series..

LOL
I don't know that either one of them are qualified to administer a proper ... kicking. Edwards likes to walk around and talk all tough, but I also remember him occasionally winging a blue streak during the last few years of his T3 ride. "I can't win! Boo Hoo!" If only Herve had hired R.Lee to give Colin a proper 'pep talk' before each race, Edwards would have earned a few wins.
I do agree that Spies and his team need someone to conduct a proper audit. 'Bad Luck' of this magnitude doesn't just happen - it seems likely that several personnel are either not properly focused (I wonder about Spies himself), or are swimming out of their depth (Houseworth.) At what point might Yamaha step in and dictate changes?

I was going to click the 'Like this' for this, simply because that name always made me giggle as a (German speaking) kid. However, I figured 'schwanz in the ...' and 'like this' are probably not a good combination.

One cannot really elaborate on gut feelings. But I would not be so keen taking Spies' place.
