Toseland is great to watch in WSBK fighting with Corser and Haga.

I think Spies will do well in GP, but not Lorenzo or Rossi well. It will take a few years IMO.

Gonna be a great 2010 season!

At first glance, I have to agree with you but them I ask myself, what other rookie has gone to WSBK and won a championship or even done as well from America? I want to say Polen or someone like that but it's been a while for sure! I think that no matter how much support Ben gets from Yamaha next year, I doubt that he'll win any races, except maybe an American round. I think that he'll be top 10, maybe top 5.

there were some stats up on the wsbk website. I think best he can pull is the 9th or 10th best rookie season of all time.

For an American? GeezI So even if he wins the rest of the races this year AND takes the championship, he will still only be 9th or 10th best American rookie?...WOW!!!

Looks like we won't have to wait until next year to see him on a MotoGP machine:

Polen is the only rookie to win a WSBK championship
