      • Good race, after a very long time someone on a satellite bike performed so well. I would love to see Ben Spies kicking whore-gay's ass!!! and this will happen

        Good ride by the GOAT, his 3 crashes definitely made him a bit more vulnerable today, but nevertheless!

        Can't wait to see him on Ducati next year

          OT:

          I hope you are feeling civilized today? we understand the excitement, calling JL that name is not quite 'cool' on the forums you know. someone might report.

          • Doesn't anybody smell conspiracy in yesterday's race? (Been watching too many movies )
            How come a satellite bike all of a sudden became so fast that factory Yamaha was 3 seconds lagging?
            Yeah I know the track conditions were not conducive and I know riders matter more than the bikes blah blah blah...
            But did Spees get special upgrades from Yamaha specially for the Indy gp? Apparently Spees did get upgrades for Laguna Seca as well.
            Hmm Yamaha pampering their potential future champion

              Wait... what??? Did Rossi really say that? Because If he did I really want to read the whole article or interview report or something...

                  Looks like Rossi's mind games for 2011 are already en route!!

                  by the way, I too think Spies will probably shake up the order in a big way next season...especially with Yamaha backing him in a big way to turbocharge their sales in the US of A..

                  Rossi's got it right as usual then...

                    I would put it in a different way...

                    Ben Spies is best rookie by far this season, he's the reigning WSBK champ too.

                    The race being his home round at Indianapolis gave him a special boost & big motivation... probably the same reason why Nicky's did well in Indi past 2 yrs.

                      Quoted from some other website & by someone who is a racer himself which is evident
                      You don't think he has what it takes to win a championship. How about a race? Do you think he has what it takes to win a race? He just beat all the aliens except Pedrosa, on an inferior machine. He won pole. He almost won pole last round. He's just getting warmed up.

                      I'm not late to this bandwagon. I've been following him since his early years. I was there at the podium at Barber when he won his first championship in FX. When (almost) everybody else was poo pooing how boring AMA was, I was saying they were missing out on two of the best racers in the world epically dueling it out. People said no, that's just AMA... Last year in SBK, some people finally took notice. Mladin predicted Spies would win the SBK championship in his rookie year, and nobody believed him. He was 87 points down to Haga at one point. And Haga was on Bayliss' equipment, not inferior equipment as you previously stated. Spies was on a brand new machine (that's clearly not so dominant without him), new team, new everything.

                      This year, people were saying that no... Simoncelli was going to destroy Spies. Bautista was going to bury Spies. Barbera would beat Spies. All these rookies from 250GPs with their track knowledge and riding style would shut down the Superbike rider Spies. All the regulars were going to send Spies packing back to SBK or AMA Superbikes, where he belongs... like Toseland, or Byrne.

                      I've said all Spies needed to have a successful rookie season was to place higher than Edwards. Beating Hayden (who I've stated before is a lesser rider than Spies) would just be icing on the cake. He's soundly defeated Edwards so far this year, he's ahead of Hayden in points at the moment, and he's beaten everybody else on the grid at some point. So far in his rookie season, he's only managed to steadily improve. Recently, two podiums, a pole and a second place start. On a satellite team. His main competition isn't Edwards. And it isn't going to be Rossi anymore, or Hayden, or Stoner. It's going to be Dani and Jorge. Make no mistake, Ben is on the ascent. He's a consummate professional racer.
                      Not hurting any sentiments, but I look at Vale & Yamaha in a different light,

                      He could have kicked some a$$ at Yamaha(he made Honda weep) by beating J Lo which I think he won't(he can't?) and I am waiting for his home race(just round the corner) to see how he performs before commenting further.

                      Ducati would have been better hiring Spies instead of Rossi(though good for marketing & Italy)

                        +1.

                        Something's up up with Vale. Its sort of like a conflict, it seems. Like he wants to perform brilliantly one second, and the very next moment he wants to junk the M1 into the gravel trap.

                        Definitely there must be circumstances which provoked this, but how much of it is Yamaha, how much of it is Lorenzo and how much of it is within Rossi himself is unknown. The remaining few races will be like tiny little preview windows, and we can only guess.

                        Rossi will talk much more freely once he's at Ducati. I'll put money on the table for the sequel to 'What if I'd never tried it'.
                        You get the point?? :D

                            Holy mother of god! That's gotta hurt, no wonder he was going backwards during the race.

                            Respect to Nicky to continue riding despite this.
                            All riders fall; some get back on, some don't, some can't...
