I hate fabrizio!!!!
 

Nuff said!!!

I'd rather oust any day of the week.

It was fucked up!

It was an accident.

I am not worried, Spies will still win the championship.

at least he tried to apologise!

It's all part of racing.

At least it wasn't his own teammate :wink:

Spies the ultra professional...


I would've dropkicked his ass Yates-style.

Oh yea! Kee Yaaaa!!!!:lol:

Holy shit!!! I was watching this as I read this post. I love Ben pointing at his head "Damn it man frackin THINK!"
It was just racing and at least frabrizio tried to apologize and man up to being totally stupid.

That was a dumb move by Fabio, but shit happens and that's racing.

The Emperor gave Spies a bit of a push at the end of Race 2.

Pedro almost did it again to Dovi early in the GP race.

Tardozzi says ' Michelle, if you want a ride next year Haga must winna de championship!'

Team orders to take Spies out maybe so Haga can win the Championship? It wouldn't be too far fetched. Fabrizio is 3rd in the chanpionship but does he really have a chance to win? No.

I hate that cocksucker Biaggi but it was a good win for the Ape.

The sign had me cracking up. :lol:

Yea that was funny!

that's what makes him so boring during interviews.

He's very good - no question - but his personality reminds me of a pet goldfish.

Spies is only like that for the press. He loosens up among friends. However he is completely focused on the number 1 plate and it would be good to stamp a good ole USA on that regardless of his quote worthiness or media charm.

For me, the nationality of the racer doesn't matter. I am rooting for the one that has talent on the track and personality off the track (on camera too).

This year I'll stick with Haga (the crazy Motherf%&#@)

Oh I have always been a Haga fan, but I didnt club race with him and watch him mature into a world level competitor. I wish he were heathy and was giving Spies hell. He really does deserve a championship of his own...

id be able to like spies more if he were more animated, ever seen clay millican from nhra do an interview? The guy is banannas it impossible not to like him

Nori really does deserve a championship, and i know he moved to Ducati to accomplish that.... but its gonna be really ironic when Spies shows up and replaces him and wins one with Yamaha.

Well would you look at that.... Rossi out front again. :rockwoot:

ya know from watching the clip a couple times it seems to me fab tried an intimidation move and spies refused to give an inch. Can def see when fab realises the lines were gonna cross and tries for some lean he didnt have. wondering if anyone saw the same thing.

That's what I've been thinking all along...if Haga loses to someone on a Yamaha I bet a lot of Japanese fans will be :lol:.

I like Haga but am pulling for Spies all the way.

Spies likes to have fun...here's a blurry shot of him I got at VIR last year putting on his "O" face. :lol:

ill be at the snack cart, want me to grab something for you? :lmao:

I agree spies is all business at work which I respect but there is a fun side to him. We were also at VIR last year. My daughter wanted to get his autograph so we stood in the LONG line so she could meet him. When we got there she was so shy she hid behind my back. Ben stood up reached around me and tickled her. He said something like see I don't bite I tickle :lol: I thought that was funny and sweet. My daughter now watches every race and screams at the TV for "Her Ben" to win :rofl:

:lol: That's cool !!

see told ya he was a cool guy!

Fab wasn't nearly far enough forward for Ben to yield. Fab came in hot from way far back. Even if he hadn't tucked the front he would have hit Ben, as Ben wouldn't have been able to yield. No warning.

Even the Ducati garage was appalled by the error and punished Fabrizio by limiting his linguini at supper!

I think what stood out was Ben is too focused on winning the next race and the next race to care or even comment. That is why he will win the champoinship, he immediately addresses the next item he can improve rather than wasting time on what has already happened.

I want Ben to win because I want an American to kick ass at WSBK. I'm hoping for Biaggi to win more just so that Aprilia gets a good showing.

Agreed! There's no way Ben could have "yielded" the position. Fabrizio basically blind sided him.

alright, i'll yield any possiblity of spies carrying partial blame but im still convinced fab went for an intimidator there

Spies handled it ok and I think he will still win the championship. However, Fabrizio was being aggressive and it was a bad move going to the inside and losing the front tire. I think he did a good thing by taking the blame and apologizing.

The best part was between races when he held up the sign that say, "I love Ben" or something like that.

I think with the way Biaggi has been handling that bike, Aprilia has made a damn good showing!

true story! im really interested in how he does next year and who aprilia picks to back him up. really like to see rea on there, also heard rumors that colin edwards has been talking to them. i suppose if its true hes gonna have to start keeping people away from tuonos instead of vmaxes :lmao:

I hope Aprilia does well and stays in business. More competition to make all products better and more selection if I ever have enough money for one.

i dont think staying in business is a problem under piaggio. btw, wheres morris county?

I live 27 miles straight west of the Lincoln Tunnel.

So in Jersey speak exit 145.

ahh way the hell north then :lol:

Yeah--way north of you guys. I got a buddy lives down in Cherry Hill.

get his ass on here :lol:

I would but he doesn't ride, plus the fact that he's an Eagles and Phillies fan. ;-)

Eagles? Has he checked into a mental health facility?

lol ahh yeah that'll do it

Couldn't help myself.

I LOVE YOU BEN............:lol

I think he wanted to kiss Spies...lol
