how good Spies does in Motogp will depend on the equipment he has when he gets there. The GSRV is not as good a bike as the Honda, Ducati or the Yamaha. Suzuki seems to have hit a wall in base set-up. he will also have to adjust to different tires as well. i think Ben has enough talent to finish between 7~10 in his wildcard race.
as far as the talent is concerned take a look at the top four riders from the last race. Rossi has 7 World championships. Lorenzo has 2 world championships. Edwards has 2 world championships. Pedrosa in 4th place has 2 world championships. yes, they are that good and to compete with them Ben has to have everything damn near perfect. James Toseland is a perfect example of the gap between superbike riders and Grand Prix riders.
