"For sure we've understood that to make the Ducati turn, you need a bigger effort than what Valentino was used to, physically too, and we didn't expect that. This bike is a lot more physical, the way to make it turn with the required precision is certainly the thing we must focus on at the moment."

Didn't toseland talk a bunch of smack about up'n Spies?
i wouldnt call it smack as much as talked down. He felt that what Ben had done on the M1 wasnt so spectacular, specially since he went faster than Ben when he tested the M1..... James fastest time during testing was faster than Bens RACE pace THAT weekend....whioch is lame IMO to compare your test times to Bens race pace, specially on race 2.
but he didnt really talk smack... i saw most of his comments more as dismissing Ben, whatever. I lost all respect for Toseland a long time ago.
I do see how James might feel a bit defensive and pressured by the whole Ben thing. i wouldnt expect him to praise Ben or anything of the sorts after he took his job. one, and now has to ride Bens bike in which anything less than a WSBK world title in 2010 would be considered a total failure.

on top of that to have the guy thats taking your job out qualify you by miles is a total joke as well.......I'm pulling for Spies all the way!!!!!
VR tries to win EVERY race , down to the last laps , if possible , so it's not as if he's going to be phoning it in for the last race . And considering Spies' decent Q and the fact that he has nothing to lose , I can see him really going for it ; to pass the GOAT would be quite the achievement . I think Rossi is thinking about this possibility a little more than casually . And no , I'm not on crack ... not today .
He is but not for this race. He's already thinking about next season.
yeah..next season is a maybe of course. It would be foolish to underestimate a guy AGAIN that put the smack down in WSBK on his first season. I still say Ben will become a contender after a learning year, but he proved us wrong once so......
Rossi? he aint worried, hes had MANY "amazing" rookies come through in his career, and even though hes been beaten, he ups his game every time because of them.
I do think that Rossi has the strongest competition he has ever faced in his career individually in Loerenzo, Casey, Pedrosa and now Spies...never mind the fact that they're all there together to boot...Rossi is only securing his place as the GOAT by beating such amazing talent and at his age.
Wow it's quiet in here... Valencia results spoiler.
Are you on crack?
