I'm not suggesting or even implying that Spies stole JT's seat (those are your words).

alrighty then... that's just how i read it. 

and i'm hardly bashing JT.  i loved watching him in wsbk and bummed that it didn't pan out in GP.  oddly, he's someone who seems to have gotten on better with the michelins than the 'stones.

Like this is the racing, no?

[byrne] is a way better rider than his results this year indicate.

that's for damn sure.

It doesn't help that he is riding the slowest 1198 ever made. :(

which is really weird when you look at how fast he was at the portimao test.

yeah i know. My slow observation was made when Fabrizio was able to cruise past him at will last week.

Kind of like Vale on JT at Losail in 2008.  [laugh]

If he went to F1 it would most likely be to Ferrari and they are set for Massa and "Eyebrows" for 2010

Nothing sez he can't do both (but not at the same time)
Desmosedici - it's the new Paso (except the bodywork doesn't fit as well)
