I've been hearing more and more rumours regarding Honda releasing an all new Fireblade in 2017, but nothing confirmed. However some regulation changes for next season may force Honda's hand if it hasn't been decided already (from Crash.net):
1. Nicky Hayden.....*
2. Colin Edwards....
3. Ben Spies....
How come none of these guys had the success like there fellow countryman of old ?

What do you all think about Spies so far in his MotoGP career? Honestly, I'm a bit disappointed. He's very inconsistent and always out-class by his teammate. Then again it is HeyWhore Lorentho who is a considered a top tier rider and quick as hell........ but does that really show that Spies...
I was thinking this for a long time... its my theory.
People around Vale and him self knew that it was very risky going to Ducati and the situation was kinda perfect a year ago...thinking about courent position in Yamaha and Stoner on Honda for future. But some of us were still optimistic...

not the 1st time i've read about this.... i hope it comes to pass!
Didn't think was a bad race for a season opener, some good overtaking by Lorenzo and others...but a shame not to see P1 changing hands at all...
