I've said it before. I can't see Ben going to MotoGP. It's only logical. Why go to a series where the machinery determines the running order? A boring series at that!

World Superbikes, bar none, is the best to watch, with the best real world riders on the best production based machines.

If you want MotoGP to shine brighter than WSBK, take their traction control down a few notches and bring back the 990 displacement. You know, it's a pleasure to delete the MotoGP races off my DVR these days.

Spies is intelligent and if the logic is clear enough, he'll stay right where he is with Yamaha.

And, thank you, Ben. We are witnessing something beautiful with your skills.

I doubt the tech3 bikes need much to become factory bikes and for yam to have the best US rider going well will be worth the extra dollars in US sales alone. Having said that he will only be a one time WSBK champ(probably) and that is in no way a passport to the stars.. Yam are already the new honda and Spies would be mad to go anywhere else satellite or not.. VR and JB build championship winning bikes no matter the badge..

The cool thing is that he's staying focused on trying to win the championship! I've always been a Haga fan, but I'm a bigger Yamaha supporter! Go Spies!! If Toseland doesn't stay in the top 10, Tech 3 would be the logical choice....hope he stays Yami!!

Seems Yamaha are on a roll, Rossi leading Moto GP, Cal leading WSS and Spies close to the top in WSB, which i hope he wins. Gonna be a difficult decision for him, would like to see him stay in WSB for one more year.

curious as to where pam stands on this. done well calling placements in the recent past (hopkins to stiggy). she's either a plump, middle-aged jamacian card reader, or she has an ear under the tent flap.

Spies is to good for Moto gp. Give him a factory yamaha. Nothing else will do. Moto 2 first, then team mate to Jorge lorenzo for fiat Yamaha.
