Gotta love Ben Spies with his modest approach.


Mom Spies on the other hand is saying "Show me the money!"

epic accomplishment by Spies. no doubt. From start of season I as many of you, and Mat Mladin all said he'd do it. now the question is what do we all think he's going to be able to do in GP and what are Mladins thought's on the matter.

personaly I think he'll be able to challenge for some wins first season with a top 5 finish and a championship within 3 years. what say you?

He mentioned that if GP bikes were still 990CCs everyone would have to look out. 800cc bikes may give him a little trouble cause he isn't a midget.

I hope he does surpise a few and get some poidums and a win or two.

he is a class act, no question.

3 things:

#1 does Tom H go with to Motogp?
#2 does Ben's mom get uglier every race?
#3 is just a comment, Nitro Nori is the class act in this deal, i saw him clapping for Ben on the podium and generally not acting like his world fell apart. I actually feel for him.
