I was watching the AMA over the weekend and the commentator was talking about Ben Spies joining MotoGP in 2009 and the guy said, "This is going to be a big step up" then the other guy said "ya, a VERY BIG step up for Ben." What did that mean? Are Rossi, Pedrosa, Stoner, etc that much better than Spies, Mldadin, Yates, etc? Can someone provide an analogy that will help me understand this?

P.S. I thought the track that Spies raced on was absolutely amazing.
