   Jorge still has to win the championship though.  I'm rooting for Jorge to launch himself into the stratosphere again.

wasn't Shanghai where he went totally airborne and broke both ankles?...and that track is yet to come...

Yeah, but he finished that race in fourth and came back next race two weeks later to finish second. His right wrist was also Fubared.

As usual, a really interesting technical discussion.

Rossi's replacement to come from Tech 3.  No, not The Ben.  (in Ryder's opinion)

define irony.
How would that fit into the rookie rule?

a completely different way than you, you will be open to understand how that

he's also not a rookie.  he was in 2009, until talmacsi's money took his seat.
Like this is the racing, no?

Ironic that he's not subject to the rookie rule but Spies apparently is ;D

how is it ironic?  this is ben's first year in GP.  yuki's was last year.

what IS ironic is that in 2009 yuki was given the Scot honda ride over ben b/c honda wanted a japanese rider in the series.  so ben went to wsbk, destroyed shit, yuki went to GP, crashed into some people, and then was replaced with another backmarker.

That's kind of what I was getting at. Ben's a different class of rider.

Did he do the 9 races?

Just curious, because to be honest the rule confuses me.
