Can't say Roger Lee getting a wild card does a hell of a lot for me, however if Suzuki threw a bike at Spies that would be interesting.
Rog ain't the authentic 'Kentucky Kid', but local knowledge at Laguna is worth a second or so.
I can't see any wildcard doing much to be honest. Good luck to em but to jump on a completely unknown bike with different tires, Neither Rog or Ben will do anything startling I think.
em? Spies on a GP Zook is merely Machs fantasy! Even Roger Lee on a Kwaka isnt a done deal. According to his manager, theres still a few hoops RL has to jump through before Dorna sign the dotted line and agree with the plans.Quote:

Either way, I think if Roger does ride, it will be a bit of a test to see if he's 'GP material' for 08, (like they're doing with Ant for the rest of this year) as I have it under good authority that their GP team will be expanding to three bikes next year..
I didn't think teams could have three regular bikes. :confused:
Repsol Honda back in the 500cc days? ;) It could possibly be run as two seperate teams aswell :)Quote:

If he's as good as his elder brother, i wouldn't bother.......... place the focus and building a relationship with West and De Puniet, not this chump.
