Head of Dorna says Spies is going to challenge the aliens.

“[Regarding 2010], I'm sure the championship will be amazing. Last year was very good, though we had some crashes in the middle of the season for some of the contenders and the health problems for Casey. I think [Ben] Spies will be one of the young people to come in and challenge the others. I don't think he has ever raced at Sepang before, and he did very well at the test.”

Interesting that he says that he and Colin are on the same bike that Colin had last year.  That doesn't seem right with the engine rule this year, does it?  The bike has to have changed.  Then again, they were discussing the chassis at that point, so maybe he meant that he and Colin are on last years chassis.
