I'm sure he'll have all the best factory pieces, and a fresh race engine with all the revs they can give him. The factory has alraedy made the committment to him for next year, so why not give him all the support he needs. Too bad for Colin, but he hasn't been willing to step it up the past season or two. He looks like he's riding into retirement. Colin doesn't deserve the best pieces, they'd be wasted on him anyway. He’ll win it or bin it trying.

I was at Laguna and he was catching Rossi before he messed up in turn 11 before the start/finish. He finishes hard so if he is up front this could be the one. I agree this is his best chance.

He's still a support team rider. Anythings possible, but if Jorge is on his game I don't see it happening. Still, a podium on a satellite bike would be VERY impressive.

I think he will be on a more even playing ground.. I think I heard that they (Yamaha Factory) gave him additional RPM's for the Laguna race and they just might do the same for him here.. If that is the case I know he has spun laps on this circuit so he knows it and he has a great chance... If I were a betting man I'd put a few dollars on him but I wouldn't mortgage the farm..

Spies will be lucky to finish 5th. His best chance at winning one of the remaining races this season will come at Aragon. His ability to quickly learn tracks, as confirmed by his podium at Silverstone, combined with a team strategy that hopefully has him running one of his few, remaining fresh engines, will be his best opportunity to finish first this season. Vale, Dani, Jorge, and Nicky have all shown great speed at Indy in the past. It would be nice for Ben to prove me wrong! I feel that that if Vale can win this race and Dani can start showing some real consistency, the championship will begin to be heavily contested. The assertion this article makes is based on emotion.
