Ben is looking very impressive. He and the new R1 seem to compliment each other very well. Hope he keeps it up.

If he keeps riding this way, there's likely to be a whip passed around at Suzuki for self-flogging.

Spies is a bad dude. Why he didn't get the call yet for Moto GP is a head scratcher.

What was it the announcer said at the first round when Ben got booted off the track??? Something like,,'welcome to WSB racing'?? If Spies is limp wristed what would that make Mladin?

Incredible performance by Ben this weekend. In the past I've concentrated on MotoGP and AMA Superbike, but this year I'm watching World Superbike closely. While I'm sure they didn't enjoy it, I did feel like the announcers gave him due credit this time around. Of course, they would have looked like idiots if they hadn't.

That new R1 is a beast!! Sounds great! A buddy bought one, can't wait to try it in the summer! Hopefully that technology goes down into the 250f and the 450F.
