2010 Silly Season

[Spidey]

    He deserves 1 more year after the learning curve then bad luck in early 2009.

+1.  I'll keep my fingers crossed that he can get it together and keep it together.  I don't expect him to challenge the top 4, but I expect that he should be able to consistently give Dovi and everyone else a run for their money.

I predict Nicky Hayden as World Champ in 2010.
You heard it here first.

Well, if aliens abduct Rossi, Lorenzo, Stoner, and Pedrosa, he'll have a shot.

I'm sure he is a nice guy... but I really think with the Yamaha's being as good as they are, they should go with someone else.
It's really the last bit of the silly season in Motogp that I actually care about.
I wonder how long Spies will take to decide and if that's what they're waiting on.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.  But I still wanted to see him in GP.

Pedrosa and Dovi are officially confirmed for Repsol for next year (with Puig). However, Dani says he wanted a Yami ride because the Honda is teh suck.
