Looks like the boy is picking up new tracks a little quicker than I
thought. Heh, prolly not the news most antiseptics were hoping for...

 

You guys have such a chip on your shoulders.

Have you seen anyone express any anti-Spies sentiments in here?

I don't..

Actually, I recall a few things that were said around here about Ben,
his Mom and other things such as his fear of flying, but that really
wasn't the point, "septicism" was. (present company aside) Are you
saying "asepticism" doesn't exist?

Well, beyond that there's been years of all the stuff about how Mladin
just was taking the big check to be a big fish in a small pond, how he
had his shot at GP and failed to make the grade, how Suzuki had such a
big advantage under the AMA rules, how Hodgson was going to give Mat a
real run when he came over and then how the AMA rules screw Ducati
because he didn't come close to doing that, etc., etc. What Spies
performance so far in GP and WSB shows is how good those two guys
really are, I think, really beyond what anyone outside of this country
has been willing to concede (and plenty of people in this country as
well, it should be said). And that seems to have been based on a
general sense of the total superiority of World (read: European)
Superbike and GP, which to some significant extent has been unfounded.
The basic notion seems to have been that anyone racing in America must
suck, at least until they move to the world championships and get a
good enough ride that they can actually win races, and just maybe then
the concession comes. And even at that the level of trashing of guys
like Hayden, Roberts, Edwards and Bostrom has been pretty amazing.

Oh, I forgot, you guys trash everyone except EuroGod - sorry...

 
And that's absolutely right and proper and applies equally to all the
other national championships as well. ;)

Damn. I hope Shakey Byrne, Johnny Rea, Leon Haslam, Sykes, Crutchlow
Laverty actually come up with the goods this year. And that Toseland
doesn't completely suck.
