Sounds like the makings of a great 09 season. Good on Ben Spies. I don't think running against Mladin every weekend got him the credit as a rider he deserved. WSBK is about to be served by an American!

Reports say it has been terribly hot there so tire choice and wear will play a big part. Since they are on the same brand and there are limited compounds to choose from clever race strategy and/or the machine/rider best able to put the power down smoothly will see them at the front come finish time!
