    Not sure what happened to Colin in the race, Wiggysan is right in respect to Ben not being able to ride the Fiat Yamaha due to his rookie status so it only really leaves Colin.

    I can't comment on BB buthe's certainly a blast from the past it could be good to see if he is truly flying again, always felt laterly his bikes/teams were not worhty of his talent.

    What about a 2nd chance for Britains JT52 he knows the bike and the tracks and I think at the end of season he was finally getting to grips with the Bridgestones, he is still respected within Yamaha hence his straight swap with Ben at the end of the season and who knows they could help each other quite a lot.

    Mmm, very true about Colin coming good. He still has it.

    As for Ben setting up the bike, you might have a point, however Colin and his CC, the Legend that is Guy Coulon know a thing about turning screws too.

    I really cant think of anybody who can step into Vales shoes. Lets face it. NOBODY can, however Colin would be my choice.

    He knows the bike and he and JB get along well. Ben cant (from what I gather) as he is a 'rookie' still, so that leaves Colin to move to Fiat and the way I see it, there is only 1 man fit for the job of riding the 3rd fastest Yamaha on the planet .........

    ...... AMA Supersport Legend Ben Bostrom.

    He is the only guy (unless we look at your man from the Japan SB) who could really make the M1 move. BB is in the best shape ever and is flying on the R6 in the states. He is also winning.

    I guess really, if Vale is going to out of hospital in 10 days and on crutch's for the next 6 weeks after, then maybe we will see Vale back rubber side down sooner then we think.

    I must say, when he was holding his leg, it really looked bent and twisted. Damn shame as for this year, the title is 99 % over now for Rossi.

    I´m thinking if the Championship is desperate at Valencia, Can Ben be a ingredient into the ideal result? I´m specific ´he´ll fare greater efficient than with Suzuki, regardless of the shown fact that for the reason that Valencia is the final around on the calendar some issues must be seen. a million) for the reason that's the final race and very nearly anyone knows what they´ll be driving next 3 hundred and sixty 5 days, maximum riders race without stress. the comparable is going for many riders without Championship aspirations as they are no longer combating for something at that degree. 2) The motorcycles are as more advantageous as they may be, and riders are as used to them as they could, the only one without previous understanding to his bike would be Ben. 3) this is going to be JT´s final MotoGP race for a together as. I´m specific he´ll attempt to tutor Herve and anyone he´s have been given what it takes. He gained´t be racing everybody yet Spies. He´ll be in the real 10 yet outdoors the real 5
