Q I have an unrelated question. Mat, were you surprised at the speed that Ben Spies showed at the World Superbike races?

A No, not at all. I've raced the guy for the last few years. There's always these comparisons that go on. You can never compare. Series compared to series and all that sort of stuff. But I think the pace of the American series is pretty quick. I think he showed those guys that what's been happening over here is fair dinkum. I've been asked how I think he's going to go this year a number of times in the past few months, and my answer's been I think he's going to be World Champion with two rounds to spare. We'll see. That's just my belief.

Absolutely.  We don't want anyone to hayden themselves into a championship.

Can someone throw up a SPOILER on this thread title so I can keep track of wins between Ben n' Nori  without ruining the race results for others?

...or you could start a Ben and Nori sitting in a tree thread....
