Don't worry about RobTZ, his Spies hating knows no bounds. Not only is Ben not the amazing talent everyone else in the world thinks he is, now Cal, who managed 5th this year on a better version of Bens bike and is obviously a far superior rider will come up and show Ben how its done. If only he were on a factory bike..... I can hear next years spies bashing now

All Riders are Great

Including Ben Spies IMO and I admire all of them and certainly don't hate any. What is the problem with dealing with facts that everyone gets so annoyed about when it comes to Ben. I would like to see him win, it is just that IMO I don't think he will. Next year will be 3 way fight between Rossi, Lorenzo and Stoner. They will finish in that order.

I'm looking at YOU RobTZ

Ben won't win a race next year? I'll take the bet that he will.

Ben won't finish in the top 4? That's going to be difficult. I hate to piss on the Rossi party but it will be between the Hondas and Yamahas next year. Ben probably will finish 6th this year unless Dovi really cocks it up. With better kit and knowledge of the tracks next year it's in the cards.

But THIS is what I have a problem with - Cal will beat Ben on equal kit? Let me ask you this - what has Cal done for you to say he could beat Ben on equal kit? Win a WSS crown? I'll tell you - NOTHING. Cal didn't equal Ben's WSBK success - it wasn't even close or even on the same planet. And unless he can repeat what Ben has done on the Tech 3 bike next year I suggest you hold back those bold statements. Because I will be watching and I do remember all the bullshit that you've said about Ben this year. Let's see if you hold Cal to the same standard. And if you don't I'll be there to "remind" you of your standards and statements about Ben. I don't forget nor do I forgive easily.

Carl Fogarty is the Greatest Worldsuperbiker

That is a fact. Pure and simple. And I seem to remember he spent a lot of time kicking a Yanks ass doing it. So much so that S R couldn't take the pressure and dived head first into the nearest bottle of J D. Infact while we're on the subject of how great America thinks it is, lets take a little look at the riders of the post Schwantz era. Scott Russell - loser and alcoholic. John Kocinski - insane, and only capable of winning on bikes previously sorted out by great champions like King Carl Fogarty. Hmmm, I'm sure there must be one more. Oh yes of course KRJR - only capable of winning when there's no opposition, and as soon as someone looks like they might beat him, immediatley finds his way to the back of the pack or the gravel trap. 3 individuals to be truly proud of. And where are they now? Shit house, Nut house and Dads house

! I almost forgot C E who only managed to win in WSB once King Carl Fogarty had left, and only managed to beat Bayliss because his Honda was such a weapon. And since going to motogp has done absolutely nothing worth speaking of

I suppose we could look to the domestic series for confirmation of how great america is, whoops no we can't, silly me - completely dominated by Australians 

So now we have to look to the current crop. Nicky Hayden - won a championship fair and square. A good bloke, but I honestly hope I never have to see the "shitkicker shuffle" performed on the podium ever again. Never likely to be remembered as one of the greats. And then Bens Pies. This guy has clearly got potential, but he hasn't actually done any real damage in motogp......yet

So I guess the future may look bright for the glory of america, albeit resting heavily on the shoulders of one individual

Meanwhile we have Scott Redding, Cal Crutchlow, Leon Haslam, Jonny Rea, Leon Camier etc

God Save the Queen
