Fabrizio take on Spies

Nice post. Where you been 4607?

BTW Fabrizio sucks arse, plus he has a girls name!
 
Maybe it's just me, but isn't he just saying what many said about a certain Ducati rider in the MotoGP category?

IMO, he may genuinely believe it to be the bike and if that is the case (his belief) than he has simply shown why he is now and forever will be unable to compete with riders at the upper echelon. Simply, he is making excuses for a lack of belief in his own ability and searching for reasons why his performances are somewhat below what the bike/team are capable of (again all IMO).

I was a doubter of Spies, not having seen enough of him to form an opinion, but there can be no doubt now that he has talent, oodles and oodles of talent and whilst the Yamaha was likely the better package in 2008 (finished 2 + 3), it still takes immense talent to ride. Besides which, he has now won three races already and deceimated the field once he 'flicks the switch to GO', so while yes the bike is a part it is the talent that is getting the results and particularly in the manner seen thus far.

Fabrizio should consider the old adage of 'put up or shut up' as it is time for him to do so (there is that damn saying again Jumkie

).

Also, don't forget that Spies has come to Yamaha in SBK after being on a Suzuki for years and taking it to Mladin, who was still a contender during those years.
