GP can make or break him. Sadly, I often feel it's more the bike and team in GP, where in all the other race orgs the rider is the larger factor. We'll see next year though. I expect nothing of him in Valencia. He's shown the world that he's "the man" already though! CONGRATS BEN!!!!

I watched the races last night. It had to kill Haga being beaten by a Yamaha since he switched camps. It also had to be tough racing while fighting the flu...he finished strong though.

Karl...we're talking about a demi god there. Rossi also has the ability to develop a motorized bar stool, let alone the Yamaha. That bike is the bike it is because of him. No doubt Spies has some skill too after watching him in the AMA and WSBK. However, only the rarest few will rise to the front in GP. Getting in front of Rossi, Jorge, Stoner, or Pedrobot will be an undertaking like no other! The cards are stacked strongly against him. If any American can do it though, it's Spies!
