I called it! Soon as the article was released bout Loris I said this might be Spies's shot to hit the big leagues...good for him, lets see what he can do.

Ya I heard his bike will be underpowered but it will be good testing for the US GP's.

i still think he'd be better off in WSBK. You might actually hear his name mentioned if he ran there when he made a podium. Well, i guess if Nicky can do it but to have a potent american in WSBK would have been nice.

I still think next season we are going to see some americans move over to WSBK. They've been saying all year that a bunch of guys, (zemke, hayes, even the bostrom boys) are campaigning to get over there.

I think Jake and Josh will do extremely well. Not so much the B Bros. IF the DMG don't straighten out the classes for next year... You may not see a whole lot of good rider in the AMA series at all!!!!

Spies qualified #8. Even ahead of Pedrosa. Granted, it was in the rain. But still very impressive.
