i think this year will be a good one, not gunna lie. i wouldnt be too dissaponted by the way the race went yesterday. The hondas are just stupid fast, yes. but they really didnt do any testing anywhere where straight line speed didnt matter. i think lorenzo is going to tear up jerez and then we are going to have a season on our hands. spies has the talent and drive to accomplish a lot more than people give him and his race yesterday was a flop and he knows it and he knows he has to do better. marco, hes just marco, give him three more races and he will be on the podium and after that he will be winning a race or two. the kids fast and smooth, very rossi esq. hes always positive and i cant wait til that kid lands a ride that he deserves. yeah hes on the gressini honda with factory support, but its a factory supported bike and still not a factory ride where he has his say so in whats happening, instead of working with whats given to him. now rossi, we cant discount him for anything. and the guy has never made excuses hes always straight forward about what goes down. hes pissed that hes in the position he is in, you can tell by all the interviews, he wants to do better and when he gets there him and that ducati will be a missile.
