Ducs are running strong I see, but good for Yamaha!

Sounds like the makings of a great 09 season. Good on Ben Spies. I don't think running against Mladin every weekend got him the credit as a rider he deserved. WSBK is about to be served by an American!

whats great about spies so far is that he has no prior experience on these tracks. hes doing well

Yamerhaw · 02-24-2009, 07:03 PM

GO Spies, GO Neukirchner!

Rsv is doing great for a brand new design

smileyman · 02-27-2009, 06:48 PM

Reports say it has been terribly hot there so tire choice and wear will play a big part. Since they are on the same brand and there are limited compounds to choose from clever race strategy and/or the machine/rider best able to put the power down smoothly will see them at the front come finish time!
