You know, i wish ducati would give their bike to Rossi and possibly lorenzo and see how they do with it. I mean surely its possible for someone else to ride the bike fast?? Rossi was able to ride the yamaha very fast when no one else could (at the time when he switched) I understand stoner is doing the same, but i fear that if Spies went to ducati maybe he would not be able to adapt? or maybe he could be one of the very few who can adapt.
I guess its like in our little world, only a few sim drivers can adapt to different cars / tracks and setups and be fast no matter what, then you have a few guys whom are fast at only some of the combos then some who are fast only once or twice due to it being their special combo....
Its also a huge team effort. When Rossi went to Yamaha; he brought Jeremy Burgess and most of the old mechanics (note; specialists for tyre, suspension etc) with him
I cant recall who is the crew chief for Ben Spies, but I do know he brought over his old one. Maio Meregalli is still the team leader, but he is not that active now with the Ben Spies got his own crew chief with him. This is not to take away anything from Spies amazing riding (or Rossis) it just goes to show the team effort and (partly) why some can - and some cant.
I hope Spies stays in the SBK for a while.. Its an amazing championship at the moment! From old I've been a MotoGP fan, but now I enjoy both series
