  4. I'd say that's about the end of his GP career.....it was only Dorna who forced Ducati's hand for American viewing figures.

  10. He should go back to SBK. I miss watching the Haga/Spies battles

  11. Well he can, just not the way he wants.

    Redding would be a good bet. However the rumour mill is that Ducati want to keep Hayden in 1 way or another.

  17. Bad luck certainly, but there is something about Mr. Spies that doesn't have "ruthless winner" written all over it. I know he won in Superbike, but he has always seemed to be underachieving and lacking mojo in MotoGP. I'd never have offered him a contract in Ducati's shoes. He was never likely to set anything alight. A decent enough guy I am sure but that's not really a criterion for employment.

  18. Its bad luck bigtime. He will prob get the bullet, seriously. Teams cant afford not to have riders out there, doing it.

    I know he came off, sh1t injury but wont sit well with the team principle regardless.

  19. I dont think his hearts in it anyway. one interview I listened to sounds like he maybe erring toward wsb again

    he isnt going to get a good ride in motogp now and pramac (what is shit) will be his last ride. other than crt I cant think of a slower bike
