Just wondering what you guys think. Since Mat Mladin was DQed and caught cheating, and this effectively assures Ben Spies his 3rd AMA Superbike title, then will he make it to MotoGP?
My answer is No. Suzuki don't seem to want to field a third bike. I doubt he will agree to a satellite team...
Might have a chance to meet him.
a buddy I ride with has a little brother that's pretty goood friends with spies.
they are going to ride MX on spies land here in north texas. I was invited last year but missed out because of prior engagements, but if they go I WONT miss out this time.
Afterwards...
I'm just bored and high, and dont have anything else to do, but what about some sort of Jordan, suzuki, spies collaboration with a satellite team in motoGP in a couple years.
It's far fetched, but maybe not that far.
Jordan is a sponsor magnet, he's become quite the motorcycle enthusiast, and I...
He finished about where i thought he would.I think top 10 for a wild card is very respectful.It did effect him tremendously on his Superbike.It appeared from the beginning of the SB race he was still in GP mode,which was whacking the throttle mid turn,a no no in Superbike racing.His bike was...
for my opinion on Spies choosing not to mount up in Assen.It seems im not the only one who was disappointed.

GPOne.com is reporting that Jorge Martinez of Aspar may look elsewhere for MotoGP bikes for 2009. Aspar has made no secret of his intention to enter MotoGP next season, and his name has long been linked with Suzuki.
Now, however, Martinez is saying that Suzuki are asking for too much money for...
Guys any of you got any idea of the Spies lap times?
During the vid he seemed to be pushing..
Schwantz seems to be cruising a little bit..
.....
Anyone..
For those that didnt see the AMA final today,it was basically a winner take all race for the championship.Spies was on pole but Mladin got the hole shot and led the first 14 laps and even at one point put a little over a second on Spies.Then Spies just went off,he put a hard move on Mladin...
The final race of the AMA SBK season is approaching and Mladin is in the lead by three points. Spies won the pole and the race the last time out at Laguna; However, Mladin is on a roll. Laguna will be a huge test for Spies. Mladin has the championship by the throat. If I were betting money on...
how come silly season is in full swing already ?
this did come from MCN so it may (or may not) be utter bollocks

Reigning American superbike...
Just read this little blurb and was pretty shocked. Zook hoping to add two more bikes to the grid next season with bikes being run by Schwantz and the rider being Ben Spies.

Did anyone catch him with despain on windtunnel? He mentioned that motogp might not be that far away as some people are saying it will be for him. I think if he puts in another stellar year in the ama he'll get a ride with someone. He's pretty young too.
