[Pigeon]

Motogp on track.ppl
lets all enjoy the last race of the year.some dude called Spies is on track too.

 

[Keshav]

Cameras just did a walk-through of Spies' garage and he's got a new
helmet paint scheme and it's bitchin'! About time. All his other helmet
paint schemes have been really crap.

 

[rhyko7]

top 4 all within a tenth

 

[Pigeon]

half way through the usual ppl at the top.for the boppers spies 14th

 

[DaddiiKong]

Spies knocking chunks off his time 3 consecutive laps. Up to 11th, now. .030 off toseland it this point

 

[rhyko7]

looks like spied is about to go quicker than toseland already lol, one place behind him haha

 

[J4rn0]

It will be interesting if wildcard Spies manages to do better than the much more experienced fellow American Hayden.... It looks quite possible!

 

[BarryMachine]

Gee !! is there a fishing hole or something nearby? Stoner keeps disappearing of the timesheet for a few laps.

The fish always bite more in the cold weather. I know were is he?

 

[rhyko7]

i think its fair to say towards the end that stoner tore them a new arse hole
i noticed rossi and lorenzo were quicker in deifferent sections, so i would expect them to improve a lot off eachothers data
Spies is very close to Tosealand already, i have no doubt in my mind that he will beat him in the race now, Edawards may be a tall order, but for a 1st ride im impressedm, i suspect he will improve more than most for tomorrow as they havent really set the bike up for him yet

Nup ... I think he has a lot of adapting to do yet. He looks uncomfortable and stiff.

 

[J708]

well done Spies.


For not falling off the bike on his first try ever.

 

[Pigeon]

spies gonna take time like others have done the boppers might be expecting too much from him.
jurys out.

 

[Pinky]

spies this spies that.... end of day hes the last of the yamahas

 

[heyhuub]

I think it's fair to say that Espargaro is a relatively good benchmark for Spies to live up to. He and Spies both have about the same amount of Motogp experience and eventhough Spies has no experience this year, he is infront.
Spies is expected to live up to allot of pedigree, but Espargaro has shown some good result come raceday already. Both being on very different bikes with one said to be inferior, it's gonna be interesting to see how both will do compared to eachother.

Wait till tomorrow. Spies time at the moment is almost exactly.within hundreths, of his best lap on race tires earlier this year at Valencia. His pole speed, obviously on q's was a 133.2. I expect him to get much faster as the weekend moves along.He is playing it smart and calculating,just like he always does.

1 Casey Stoner Ducati Marlboro Ducati 1:32.813
2 Jorge Lorenzo Fiat Yamaha Yamaha 1:33.195
3 Dani Pedrosa Repsol Honda Honda 1:33.241
4 Valentino Rossi Fiat Yamaha Yamaha 1:33.499
5 Randy De Puniet LCR Honda Honda 1:33.910
6 Alex De Angelis San Carlo Honda Gresini Honda 1:34.106
7 Colin Edwards II Tech 3 Yamaha Yamaha 1:34.123
8 Andrea Dovizioso Repsol Honda Honda 1:34.382
9 Loris Capirossi Rizla Suzuki Suzuki 1:34.427
10 Nicky Hayden Ducati Marlboro Ducati 1:34.462
11 Mika Kallio Pramac Racing Ducati 1:34.696
12 Marco Melandri Hayate Racing Kawasaki 1:34.859
13 James Toseland Tech 3 Yamaha Yamaha 1:34.865
14 Tony Elias San Carlo Honda Gresini Honda 1:34.873
15 Ben Spies Tech 3 Yamaha Yamaha 1:35.052

17 Gabor Talmacsi Scot Honda Honda 1:35.258
18 Aleix Espargaro Ducati 1:35.458

Maybe Colin will let Spies follow him around for a while. At least Colin shouldn't have to worry about Spies stealing his crew chief and stabbing him in the back

. This is shaping up to be another predictable boring race at the front. Where can I sign up for the midpack package
