Very good point, but I think Spies has made it pretty well known if he could get a mount with a factory team he aspires to GP. I think at Yamaha he is positioned to be potentially #2 because Rossi is young, believe it or not, and he is going to continue to dominate.
If I were Spies, but I am not, I would be happy at WSBK for a period of time. Look what it did for Bayliss who dominated there. He's a bit of legend himself.
The part I can't figure out is what would motivate him to leave factory Yamaha to go to Aprilia? I don't know all the ins-and-outs, but how does that improve the situation for him?
