i didn't know he had 90% podiums n most wins fuck i remember he was always like 2 or 3 behind matt when he started now matt is salty because his 6 reigns are over n he has to take backseat for suz in the spotlight:idk:
I seriously doubt matt would want or even be offered a motogp ride after Spies beating him the last two years and matt being as old as he is.

Matt is probably happy as fuck Spies is leaving.

and Suzy signed a couple other riders. I'm sure had Suzy offered him a ride he'd have taken it... they're competitive... shit he ran 5th in Indy and was up to what 5th or 6 in Laguna.
1. Rain

2. Home Track

he still did 14th in the British GP having never ridden that track before.

3/3 in the points is pretty fucking good...

1. exactly matt doesn't want to go... so his saying it would cause an issue with matt is wrong

2. win is a win...

Good for him.


I'd pass up a GP offer too...I don't get on planes.

Suzuki did not want to pay him $2.5 Million a year, Yamaha did. Yamaha has better GP AND WSBK equipment. You cant fault him for going after a better ride AND more money.

Ebbs, BTW he was 6th at Indy, 8th at Laguna and 14th at Donington, but I hear what you are saying, he was damn good for his first 3 starts ever on a GP bike.


All times are GMT -4. The time now is 10:53 PM.
