The ****ers in the UK wont have too much to Flap their Lips about after this past weekends Domination at Donnington by Ben Spies on the Yamaha...Spies came on Conquered England,onto the next race in Brno.
Kevin Schwantz said it best during a Race in Italy where the commentator stated,is Ben Spies as good as # 34 ? Schwantz reply,"He could be even better".
He is Motivated and his Learning Curve is Amazing.
On a Fitness level,no one is more Fit than Ben, Consistent and Smart.....

It a shame for the championship even if you don't like the guy I do and wanted Ben to win the title from day 1 in WSB. But for me you got to have some repect for him on and of the track giving his number to Tardozzi was nice to read cos you wouldn't here a lot of rider doing that today.

An amazing weekend for Spies & Yamaha.
I believe that by the end of the next race weekend Spies will be the pts leader.
Hate to see Riders get hurt. The good news is Haga has a month to get well enough to try and fend Spies off.
So far it's been an exciting season of racing.

Spies is a gentlemen - okay, he rarely smiles (that's for his teammate, the Grinner), but respects the rivals, and all the stuff - as he talks about the race, the team, the whole world after a race. This guy is a complete racer, hope one day he will fight with a certain Valentino Rossi...

Good point, Beszti

It would be massive to see Spies and Rossi race together. I hope Yamaha adds a 3rd factory bike just for him in Motogp. It says a lot about Mat Mladin in AMA because it took Spies a while to beat him.

Suzuki bosses pulled a Honda move by letting this guy get away and underestimating his potential

Spies will win the title in his rookie year. He's that good. Haven't seen anyone come onto the scene since VR that can match him.

Sorry BSB, better luck next time!

You beat me to it yammie, Ellison said he would pass Spies without regard to any team orders if he had the chance. Well, he got a reality check. .

to mr.Laterrus Talley. please forgive my suspicion of your enthusiasm concerning bens chances this weekend. he was ridiculously fast through craner. roberts said, and i'm paraphrasing, everyone one can can go fast through the slow stuff, the difference is, who can go fast through the FAST stuff. without his craner speed, max might have had something for him in race one. race two was just plain impressive. check that...overpowering.
btw rocket ron must be mighty proud of his offsping.
14 points to go...
