Honestly in my opinion, I see Ben being the type of rider where everything has to be perfect for him to really have an impression. If things aren't that in-sync for him, he tends to really fall off pace.

being able to ride around problems is the hallmark of a great rider.

He has been the Massa of MotoGP. He has one of the best bikes, but needs to get back into the game.

I made a comment on Ben's blog re Aragon test and I see it has been deleted. Not a good sign. If he can't sand criticism, he will fail for sure.

Cal and Dovi have Ben's number, they have both beaten him at every race so far in 2012, so I'm not sure what "momentum" the article is referring to.

Spies has possibly the best bike and tyres combination on the grid so he need's to start beating the sat Yams now if he has any hope of keeping his seat.

"Fist thing Ben is.....Let riding do the talking."

I totally agree with this statement. Stop coming up with statements and then go and disapointing your fans. Just ride the thing and get the best result possible!

In Ben's defense, his statements are likely just responses to media questioning.

That being said, I agree with what others have said ... Time to walk the walk!

Bens recovery after coming off in Catalunya was a tremendous effort.I hope he can produce a good result at Silverstone.Being overshadowed by satellite riders must be killing him.

If you people have the chance, watch Valencia 2011 again. Ben did an incredible ride. He needs to forget about the pressure this, pressure that and let the warrior come out.

You should be his motivational guru.Lol
