Ben Spies has announced he's quitting Yamaha at the end of the season. He's not saying what he's doing instead but reckons it will be an exciting move forward for his career??

Rumours of a return to Suzuki for their MotoGP project?

Call me soft but I do wonder what Toseland could've done if they hadn't let him go after a second season. Like Crutchlow has won the championship... hmm, guess we'll never know. Still think Yamaha think they're better than their riders, bit like Honda were before Rossi jumped ship. Spies is Prob just having a bad year. What has Edwards ever done in GP results wise in the last decade....

Read a report that Lorenzo would welcome having Rossi back in the team, is that because he has made sure this time round he'll get the good parts first ;)
