MotoGP: Better then the Fiat ............?

Well it has been done !

Ben Spie's Yamaha MotoGP M1 has been painted in his Sterilgarda colours.

My question is : Do you like it better then the Fiat & Monster tech 3 colours ?

Also, how do you think he will perform ?

He clearly knows the road ahead will be a tough one as he states here : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEGFg1thPbA in his first interview after becoming world champ.

Also......... Livio Suppo to leave Ducati ? : http://www.motomatters.com/news/2009/11/04/livio_s...

    I liked the Fiat livery better. The Tech 3 livery had so much potential with Monster as sponsor, but didn't quite make it. I did like the Fiat Evo livery, specially with Jorge's astronaut leathers.

    I think Ben will finish into Alien territory.

    I'm kind of baffled by how sanitized has motorsport become. In the old days booze, tobacco and oil companies were the main sponsors. Now we have Milk ! (Sterilgarda) I suppose times change.

    I´m very sorry to see Livio Suppo leave. I think he was key in Ducatí´s Championship and recent success. He managed to keep a small factory competitive against giants like Yamaha, Honda and Suzuki but on many counts Ducati has outperformed all of them (with a great deal of credit to Casey of course) His absence will be Ducati´s loss, and I believe he will be successful anywhere. I met him at Laguna Seca, and he is a really cool guy. I wish him well.

    I think the bike looks fantastic

    Im going on the assumption he will get a factory bike (wild card not Rookie) so Im going to say podium, I cant see him beating Stoner but could get second. But you can bet All 4 Yamaha riders will want to beat him.

    As or Suppo... Shocked and stunned !! that isnt half going to fuel the Rossi to Ducati rumour mill.

    Good or bad thing only time will tell.

    I remember Ben saying how rough and tough the WSBK was going to be after a couple of races, Didnt slow him down any. 11 it is then.

    There can be only one....

    Edit after Qualifying. I didnt realise House and Woody would not be there. not really going to be any kind of indication to next year. looks like a satalite bike too.

    Fiat is better looking in my opinion. Also Spies will not do too well his first year in GP. Top 10 would be a surprise for me.
