Lorenzo recently told Crash.net that he is looking forward to having Spies as a team-mate having endured an occasionally fractious relationship with Rossi.

No shit?!

I hope Ben becomes the fastest Yamaha rider this year. No, seriously I do!

Actually, a few weeks ago (just before the end of the season) the BBC asked Ben what he was most looking forward to next year. "Having a factory bike". They then asked if there was anything he was not looking forward to. "Stoner on a Honda".

Si.

Well yeah, me too.
I hope he's the fastest rider on anything!
Why wish for a loaf of bread when you can wish for the whole grocery store?:)

[Sir Limpsalot]

Ah, well, yes, there we differ old boy. I'd love Ben to be the fastest Yamaha and the second fastest rider overall. You see, there's this Italian chap on a Ducati that I'm rather keen to see winning. Sorry.

JQ, never mind the two Ducati riders - at least one of whom is an honourary Brit having lived in London for years - I think that, truthfully, the biggest problem Jorge will face will be found riding his new Honda. Go Casey! BTW, can Casey play cricket?

Si :remybussi:

[Sir Limpsalot]

Sorry JQ. I have no intention of "rubbing it in". Not the British way, y'know. As I recall it the last time we played for the Ashes in Aus it was the other way entirely. And anyway, there's still three tests to go..

Si.

Most enjoyable. And a good insight into how things work.
