Spies should do great this season.....on the Yamaha, dammit!
Suzuki, you totally blew it. Spies should be leading the Alstare squad over Max, taking Kagayama's place at the very least. Actually, he should be in MotoGP on the Rizla squad, but that's another story.....
Edit: Oops! got the teams mixed up!

You mean the Alstare team right? Rizla is the MotoGP team. I don't think Suzuki was ready to pay Ben's high salary, even in WSBK. I'm sure Kagayama is dirt cheap. Otherwise, I can't see why he's still in the team. Love Kagayama's aggressive riding, but he's just not consistent enough and is always hurt...
I actually like their design this year better than last year. In 2008, one of their main sponsors was that Pepe Phone company with red dots...
This one looks meaner for some reason. Hoping Max N. gets to duke it out with Ben S. this year!

Haga will be the man to beat this year ...just wish he was still with Yamaha.

OK, here is my bold prediction. Ben Spies will finish in the top three - for the whole season. I expect him to podium at Phillip Island, probably in 2nd.

Yeah, Kaga is occasionally fast, but is not consistant enough by far.Originally Posted by green_zx7r
I like the colors as well, I like them a lot better than the yellow Corona colors.
Haga.....well, he's never been consistant enough o pull it off. I think Fabrizio will be a bigger threat. In all honesty, with his speed, talent, and consistancy, I think spies is totally in it with a good shot at the title in his first year....even though the new Yamaha is hideous! Ugh! Looks better than in street trip, but still......Ugh!
