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.

They aren't saying that he is gonna get his ass handed to him, but that he will be racing with the best riders in the world on the fastest machines that man can cobble together. It's one of the only venues that Spies can walk into with a REAL chance of getting wupped. The AMA is a VERY small pond, bush league even, by comparison to MotoGP. Its a massive step up, and it remains to be seen how well he does. I have high hopes, but they are just hopes.
