Valencia: Spies vs. Toseland
 

Who do you think will come out on top? Spies has already impressed on his GP bike debut with suzuki last year at Donnington.

My prediction: Toseland faster in FP1, Spies qualifies and finishes the race higher than Toseland.

Re: Valencia: Spies vs. Toseland
 

when is it? I reckon same as you. Think Spies better under pressure too.

Re: Valencia: Spies vs. Toseland
 

Will they both be on the same spec bikes?
If so I dont know who will be quicker,but I bet Colin Edwards beats both of them.

Re: Valencia: Spies vs. Toseland
 

Read in some website that Spies is riding a Fiat Rossi spec bike!

But could be a crock of lies....

But he either will be rubbish or be outstanding

Place your bets......:bball:

Re: Valencia: Spies vs. Toseland
 

Edwards will beat the pair of them. Spies will be in and around 7th - 10th kinda area. Toseland will be at the back like he was last time out, making up the numbers again...

Re: Valencia: Spies vs. Toseland
 

9. Ben Spies USA Sterilgarda Yamaha Team 1min 33.539 sec
14. James Toseland GBR Monster Yamaha Tech 3 1min 34.107 sec

Things not good for JT at the start or should I say the end.

Spies is already in the lead. I suppose Spies is on a new engine and JT is on an old tired one...but still...not good.

Re: Valencia: Spies vs. Toseland
 

spies will have a good race by the looks of it, this will do his career no harm at all :) James has to ride his heart out just not to look silly.

Re: Valencia: Spies vs. Toseland
 

JT can't win so it's fairly hopeless.

Spies beats him: Yamaha are right.
He beats Spies: well, it's Spies first race with a new bike etc etc etc

Re: Valencia: Spies vs. Toseland
 

humm what a show.

Re: Valencia: Spies vs. Toseland
 

Yeah fairly dull at the front after lap 5 or so, but Spies showed some class. Got settled in and then made a good move forwards to a genuine 7th without multiple crashers, except for Stoner's non-start (d'oh!).

Was good to see Edwards appreciative :)
