Meregalli will be lucky if he see's a repeat of this year in the 2010 WSBK season .. in saying this he's actually putting them under more pressure to perform in 2010 than they were already!!
i agree Ben Spies will be a hard act to follow ... Ben Spies is 'THE' next big thing to happen to motorbike racing .. and it was more a combination of his machine like persona,raw talent and the excellent crew chief/mechanic team he brought with him that brought that success to Yamaha this year!! I don't believe for one minute that the bike in race trim is well balanced at all .. in testing for last season there was very little between Tom Sykes and Ben Spies in actual times but come the races .. the gulf between them was massive despite Tom efforts.Ben Spies is just one of those rare rare talents that will take over from Rossi and beat his records in Moto Gp i truly believe that!! To see how he adapted his riding style in that race in Valencia compared to how he had ridden the WSBK bike just amazed me .. in one weekend he did what James Toseland couldn't do in two season's ADAPT to the bike,tyres and machine!!
i think it's Haga's championship to loose in 2010 though watch out for Biaggi too that Aprilia is a better bike than the Yamaha and now it's got a season's worth of data behind and hopefully young Leon Camier to back up Max .. they could just knock the smile of Maragalli's face come the first race and be championship contender's too!! there's so much talent in world superbikes i don't think we'll have one rider dominate like Ben did .. but of course this is just my opinion
