i'm guessing that bautista has dibs on 19 since he was confirmed to motogp first.

I like that he's back to using 11, even though all the "Never-Heard-Of-Ben-Spies-Until-'09" Euros know him as #19. 

I'm curious how the sponsorship thing worked out.  How did it end up that he's using the Sterilgarda livery on his MotoGP wildcard bike?  I know that he was under contract with them for WSBK, but are they also funding his MotoGP wildcard spot?  Does that mean anything for Tech III sponsorship for next year?

Gawd, he's so much bigger than that bike than a WSBK bike.  He's as tall as Vale (almost) and has like 15 lbs on him.

looks like it.. or at least they inked a deal with yamaha for this race.  he's not really tech 3 this time around.

he said a while ago (miller interview?) that if he went to GP he'd lose 10lbs.

Ben's situation at Valencia, according to Lin Jarvis:

'bikes will be virtually identical to the Monster Tech 3 Yamaha satellite machines ridden by Colin Edwards and James Toseland'

'with enough engines to last the weekend'

Spec of said engines is apparently whatever Yamaha wants 'em to be.

Indeed.

I suspect it's more of a 2010 bike.

Isn't that the same word they used when he was going to do 1 more yr in WSBK and MotoGP in 2011
