Spies is extremely talented and I think he'll be World Champion some day but to compare him to Valentino Rossi is a bit much. Rossi is only the greatest Motorcycle racer of all time while Spies can't keep up with his teammate right now.
Let's not forget, in that time frame Ben won 3 AMA SB titles, Mat actually won more races then Ben. Ben was just more consistent when he didn't finish on top of the box - if i'm not mistaken, 1 season he didn't finish lower than 2nd. So even though Ben got the championship; Mat beat Ben, more than Ben beat Mat.
I'm not taking anything away from ben but i've witnessed him and matt pretty much leave the field in their wake weekend after weekend..mat could have shattered all the ama superbike records easily.ben could have done the same but in that business oppurtunity only knocks once......so i give ben alot of credit for making the moves that he did......it was best for what i think will be a record breaking career if healthy.......matt is still one of the best suzuki pilots i've had the pleasure to see
mat mladin could have won world championships, well he would of!! no question so who better to give an opinion on spies. he is every bit as good as spies. and for sheer talent spies is maybe the best in the world i agree completely just listen to what colin edwards says about wat spies can do on the tech3 which he effectionately calls a 'pos'
I love the respect and the humilty of american riders, ben spies in motogp now and mladin at ama.. 2 beautiful persons, i really respect them from the deepest part of my heart because at that level of any sport is not rare.. it is unic to see this kind of persons ;)
Ben IS a great rider, but Rossi is still the best in the world. The end of this season will be interesting with riders shuffling and speculation. More than likely Ben will ride the Fiat Yamaha, I'm guessing with Jorge Lorenzo in which I put my money on Lorenzo. Jorge has pushed Rossi harder than anybody, including Nicky and Casey. If there is any torch passing, it's goin to Jorge.
He said and we all know Rossi is the best damaster59. And its Spies fault he was twelve in 96 and not winning 125 gp races? New tracks, new bikes, new tires and he got a podium with a satelite yamaha in his 6th race, this guy is for real.
Hi Mat, although i respect your opinion and i believe if there's anyone who can judge accurately on this matter it's you, i disagree. Rossi has done so much more than spies has done, (and some can argue will ever do). Rossi has been racing gp's since '96, when spies was barely 12 yrs old, and nicky hayden also beat you when he was 19 and came out of AMA to gp premier class to be rossi's team mate.
The guy has won 7 World Chamionships in GP.
Thanks for that comment.
No one ever had a clue.

Talk about humility. Lots of respect to you. I'm sure Ben feels the same about you.
