well I seriously doubt he passed up Motogp for WSBK... as his only (publicly known) issue with going to Motogp was his fear of flying.

and Suzy signed a couple other riders. I'm sure had Suzy offered him a ride he'd have taken it... they're competitive... shit he ran 5th in Indy and was up to what 5th or 6 in Laguna.

no suzy prob would have signed him but they may have liked matt more n saw the drama they were gonna have but ben also wanted to leave n i don't think he had any good moto gp team offers as far as good bikes/teams/mechanics so this is his stepping stone do well n he'll get the offers he wants

i didn't know he had 90% podiums n most wins fuck i remember he was always like 2 or 3 behind matt when he started now matt is salty because his 6 reigns are over n he has to take backseat for suz in the spotlight

I seriously doubt matt would want or even be offered a motogp ride after Spies beating him the last two years and matt being as old as he is.

Matt is probably happy as fuck Spies is leaving.

1. exactly matt doesn't want to go... so his saying it would cause an issue with matt is wrong

2. win is a win...

Good for him.


I'd pass up a GP offer too...I don't get on planes.
