1000cc switch to help Ben Spies

Yamaha expects the introduction of the new 1000cc MotoGP class to help American rider Ben Spies mount a challenge for more victories in 2012. The Texan’s factory Yamaha team boss Massimo Meregalli believes the style required to ride the new generation 1000s will favour Spies, who won the World Superbike title for the Japanese factory back in 2009. Although Spies collected his...

appeal to spies Fans

And yes you elbowz, stop over inflating every last little result Spies has had in Moto GP because its nothing the Dovi hasnts also done too. first year for both similar results , first year on factory machinery similar results again. Even to the point where the honda wasnt considered as good as the Yamaha in 2009 and visa versa.

Spies IS at the level as Dovi in the time line of their respective careers and they are both as talented as one another. They could both be good enough to at some point finally make it. But on current form neither look like doing so.

The one thing that is 100% clear is neither have Alien level of consistency or outright pace as it stands.

You'll upset Benny with talk like that - Spies and Dovi having comparable performance / ability....  Ouch

Benny - you're in friggin' fantasy land with your view of Dovi. On the 'best bike on the grid' he didn't win a single race in 2011. Stoner got 10, Pedrosa 3 / 4?. How is that producing? Only if you look through a fragmented lens do you get a view that Dovi is a genuine 3rd place runner.

As for making things up - read comments properly.

Both Spies and Dovi are great riders. But they are not Alliens and never will be. People that think 1000's or 800's will make a difference will be sadely mistaken. With limited fuel and traction control? No differnce at all. J-LO and Casey will contest this championship as they did las't year. Supposedly Ben and Hayden could/would bennefit from more bottom end power because of dirt tracking and such? Have you people seen Casey putting the RCV sideways? I see the seiazon going 3 ways at first. Untill Dani messes himself up with a 15 sec lead. Its Ducati and Rossi that can surprise or dissapoint. Hopefully they surprise. Oh and when the test times come in? don't get carried away folks, Suzuki was always very fast when testing. Alvaro not a factory RCV is a big fail by Honda IMO

elbowz elbowz

Such a sad little fanboy who has to start with the insults.

It people like you who CAUSE all the harsh but fair things pointed out about Spies with the utter nonsense you continue to speak. Ben is on one of the best bike out there yest aspent half of last year in a dogfight with Rossi and hayden who were having a nightmare on the Ducatis? explain that one oh wise and clever GYTR (elbowz cos everyone and their dog knows its you)

And by the way Dovi was miles up the track fighting at the front before dropping back which makes your claims on Spies (owning) him pretty sad. both on factory bikes with a cats cock hair performance difference between them ,and Spies got well beaten overall. Your claims are without avalidity.

sad little fanboy GYTR

Go knock one out to your favorite picture of Master Spies.

And as for removing the daft posts youve put up it doesnt mean we forget the nonsense youve come out with. Tell where ive insulted you in this thread? All ive done is disprove all your claims.

Man up and take it on the chin. If Ben does well i'l be one of the first to admit if im wrong but its highly unlikely it will be so.

spies has done NOTHING to prove he's a better rider than Dovi thus far in Moto GP

On thin ice here, but i think Ben is better than Dovi. Why? Because i watched Ben rule at Assen last seizon in the dry. Of course J-Lo got taken out, but Ben deserved that win fair and square. Dovi has never once dominated any race in Motogp. Casey started to speed up at Assen and 11 responded. Something Dovi on the same bike as Casey could not dream of. Don't you Dovi fans forget that Aoyama won the las't 250 2 stroke championship on the inferior Honda. While Dovi could not manage that. Having said all this Dovi and Ben are worthless compared to J_LO and Casey. J_lo and Casey are so much better than anyone else. sad but true

Good post carlos to beat Stoner by 7 seconds is impressive and why do i think he is better Laguna Seca 2011 yes Ben didn't win but it was the way he hunted Dovi down who was 7 seconds ahead was stunning to watch with two laps left BANG and on the soft tyre in very hot conditions.

there you go again elbowz

the two good races spies had !!! what about the other 12 or so where i was miles of the pace? or dont they count in your world. Every dog has its day but its the ones whos poor days are a third or a fourth that are the real talent.

Spies has still to be Dovi in a championship and is fighting to keep his ride beyond this coming season, never mind being in a fight for the title.

Still he'l liven up WSB in 2014 or BSB
