I don't think he will bounce around onto another WSBK team. Yamaha will probably pay him more, if it is the money. The only reason I think he would move is for a GP ride. Who would blame him?

It would be something if he wins.

i couldnt see him going to GP. not unless they fix the competitiveness, in sbk he has a reasonable shot with whatever team he lands on. gp he'd only have one if he landed a top team. why risk black marks on your career?

Well he risked these same "black marks" when he went from AMA to WSBK didn't he and that has sure worked out.

Jamie Hacking sure can't say the same.

I do agree though it would be another big risk.


"Rossi and Spies round the last corner...coming down the straights...who's gonna take it ?!?!?!? " I can hear it now.

Question is though...what will Ben be riding ?


I hope he stays with Yamaha in WSBK.

Just to think...to get bored doing something like that and have the options that they have.
