Yooperbikemike will be covering MotoGP news while Kropotkin vacations for the next three weeks in Italy.

Spies To Test GSV-R
Ben Spies, fresh from his victory at Laguna Seca yesterday that saw him take his second consecutive AMA Superbike championship, has confirmed that he will test the Suzuki GSV-R800 this year. The test will occur on October 21 at Sepang the day after the MotoGP race. Spies also said that he does not know if he will be granted a wild-card ride at the season-ending Valencia race. Paul Denning, Rizla Suzuki team manager has commented that Suzuki very much wants to keep the 23 year-old Spies "in the fold". Spies is arguably the best young American roadracer since Nicky Hayden and is keen to test his mettle on the world stage.
 
That'd be cool, I'd rather see him is WSBK though. Much better series.

You can certainly argue that, but one thing that you can't argue is this:

You can't be the absolute best without winning a top class GP world title. I don't care what Carl Fogerty says.

Oh, and Spies' Superbike qualifying time? Yeah, that would have put him 13th on the GP grid...eight tenths off of pole:D

Hey, when it comes toi riding hard and the crashing of a bike, (cuz it will happen) I have no problem going balls out knowing that the $$ to fix is not out of my pocket :nutkick: - Other than talent, what usally holds me back is the fear of having to spend more $$ to fix it when I lay it down - I am not affraid of getting hurt as if I do injure myself (or even kill myself) I am doing it while riding and I am cool with that
