Not looking good for Spies in 09

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (gsfan @ Apr 8 2008, 04:54 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>I'd rather have JT than CV any day. CV has proven he is no great qualifier. He has to fight from mid pack all too often and he is not aggressive enough. He HAS to pick it up this year.

I think by the end of the year they would rather have Caparossi then CV any day. I've already said i think CV i'snt the guy. Honestly i think he has shown us his entire hand, there is no more. Now that the bigger players got there bikes where they should be and the talent is higher, another 6th place position in the chamionship is out of the question for CV.

as eloquent as ever. i agree 100%. it's time to get a full grid of 24. gonna take some new sponsors & their starting to line up.

Bautista is obviously a VERY good rider despite this seasons ppor results so far. However I think he is a little reckless at times and could do with ironing out his style and being more consistent.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (drumfu @ Apr 8 2008, 11:15 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>i'm not sure what races you're watching, but Bautista is easily the strongest rider in the 250 lineup for '08.

I disagree, Kallio is right there and the points already working in his favour.

As for Spies, i don't think Aspar was the centre of his motogp world. Factory Suzuki should be able to take care of him and if Schwantz really gets involved i can only see that working in his favour.
