I still think Spies can podium this year. I feel like if the right circumstances come along he will podium. Bad thing is there isn't anywhere for him to go. Yamaha has their big 2, don't need a third unless Rossi retires or Jorge gets 1 hurt. Honda could put him in place of Pedro BUT Repsol won't allow it. He could take a seat at Ducati next year but who knows how he could get on with that bike. Would he take that chance?

Edwards may not podium much, but he's a consistent and regular performer. Always finishes high mid-pack.

Colin is what 36? I think he has this year and perhaps one more, but his chances for a better GP ride are gone. Aside from Corser and Haga he would be one of the oldest WSBK riders should he wish to swap series and his chances of a primo ride there are slim. I see a stateside race instructor career coming...
