Excerpt from OTT interview with Ben Spies.


quote:

For sure a 1000 for me is gonna help me, because you know obviously I'm a bigger guy. I think from the fans perspective it's gonna be better too, the bike's gonna do a whole lot more moving around; it's gonna do a whole lot more spinning. If they went to 1000's and deleted traction control, it'd be pretty fun to watch. I don't think that's gonna happen, but at least going back to 1000's the bikes are gonna get quicker and the way you can pass people, passing opportunities are going to get better. Like I said with the 800 when you pass people, you more or less have to set it up in advance, almost like a sling-shot maneuver. Going back to 1000's for numerous reasons for me would be better, but I think for the fans it would be more fun to watch too.




Go figure.

He is going to be so much fun to watch. I'd really like to see him pull a King Kenny on the Euros.

With the changes coming in MotoGP - I begin to wonder if MotoGP or World Superbike will become irrelevant within a season or two.
