He's had 3 wildcard MotoGP races, and although he has done pretty well in a couple of them, that doesn't mean he'll be good for the whole season.
I like Spies, and JT too, trouble is, too many people expect decent SBK riders to make decent GP riders, and its not always the case, and it ends up them limping back to SBK with their tail between their legs when they shouldn't really have to.
