I'm laughing at all the people who said "Spies is to new for world superbike" as he now blows through that league in one season.
YAMAHA can do no wrong on the world stage. Wish HONDA would take lessons

Ben's ability to quickly familiarize himself with new tracks and new machinery is something not too common. Reminds me a little of Valentino and nothing like Nicky.
People thought that he'd fall on his face when he left the juggernaught that is Yoshimura Suzuki, he excelled. Some thought going new more technical tracks would bring him back down to earth, it didn't. Some thought he wouldn't shine now that he was up against a field of former GP stars and previous wsbk champions, he got even better.
Why hold a shooting star back? I say he has earned a ride in motogp... More so than Nicky, and even he won the gp title.
I can't wait to see Spies compete at this level, should shake things up a bit his first year on a sat team and hopefully land a factory ride the next year when he becomes eligable.
