Spies Column on Superbikeplanet.com

Spies talks about his race wkd in Qatar, and living in Italy with Roger Lee Hayden. Pretty good
stuff, especially his analysis of Pedrosa, setting him up and passing him, priceless.

Great interview. Tha boy ain't tougue-tied. Tha's for sure.
I like that he gives a lot of detail.

Brilliant read VT,thanks for that.Ben Spies writes in a language that we all understand I think.

Great read. I keep liking the guy more and more. I'd like to thank him sharing the inner thoughts that a rookie has being new to the series. He is very detailed and comprehensive. I don't think he has to be but he does it anyway and I appreciate that.

excellent read. dood definitely brings some excitement into MotoGP. another rider that relishes close riding is always a plus

This gave me goosebumps...

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <div class='quotemain'>Here, while it wasn't by any means a situation like in World Superbike where I was the guy to beat for the title, now, I'm a rider in this championship. So I'm not going to cut anybody any slack. Whoever it is ahead of me, if I can get around them, I'm doing it. Whatever kind of passes it takes. I'm here now.

GO SPIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hahaha. i love the comment on the land cruiser on two wheels. Qataris are known for it. thanks for the article. always awesome to see what Spies got to say

Phat!!

Wow, great article. Like the universal use of "we" when referring to racing. Very comprehensive and communicative Ben.

Excellent read, it just feels like you are watching the race again from completely different angle.

Another great read thanks for posting that boy dont need no caffine fix thats for sure

I don't want to like Spies but I'm finding that it's almost impossible to fight him off. I may just have to give in as long as he never beats Nicky......

Seems like a good guy but Texas people are absolutely fuggin .......'s most of the time. Spies has something else going for him. I may be forced to revise my "no podium" prediction. I think he'll do it but where??

Big Ben, just like Colin, puts it all out there. All of the riders seem quite vocal this year with the workings of the sport. It's excellent for the fans....
