Ben just been interviewed and said he's got the itch to be on a road race bike again. When pressed he said he wouldn't rule out a return to WSBK!
Be amazing to see Ben back on a Yamaha in WSBK...
"Ben Spies is confident of a return to fighting for podiums with Ducati in 2013 after a MotoGP season to forget with Yamaha last year."

I'm sorry, as a fan of spies for a long time, i still think this is VERY wishful thinking. He hasn't even ridden the thing yet, so thats...
Just read on Ductalk.com Ben Spies will be going to the Pramac team with a factory ride from the factory. His teammate will be Andrea Iannone. I for some reason can't copy the link, not sure why but it is there. It does seem to make sense since the Gresini Ride would make him switch...
I can't envision a scenario unless something dramatic takes place whereby Ben keeps his ride in 2013.
What am I missing? Both Tech 3 boys are besting him at the moment and both will have a reasonable claim to his ride if things finish as they've started. Does anyone think he'll retain his...
For those that are not aware, Ben Grabham is one of the very best Asutralian Enduro riders and primarily competes in the longer desert races held in and around Australia.
In April of this year Ben was racing in the Condo750 rally in NSW when he was found beside the track unconcious in a...
What do you all think about Spies so far in his MotoGP career? Honestly, I'm a bit disappointed. He's very inconsistent and always out-class by his teammate. Then again it is HeyWhore Lorentho who is a considered a top tier rider and quick as hell........ but does that really show that Spies...
can't find a link anywhere all though I was updated via Road Racer X on facebook.
As much as I like Ben, I don't see anything really changing in his career and believe he has already peaked. Makes you wonder who will get the boot? Was not Holden and Yates on the team last year?
Ben Bostrom has signed for Michael Jordan Motorsports for 2011.

In other interesting news, John Ulrich was asked if he ever considered switching brands. He said, "stay tuned".

On one hand, we have a highly successful MotoGP manager leaving, on the other an old friend of Ben during his WSBK rout replacing him. Can Massimo adapt quickly to the MotoGP method? Losing Brivio was probably a natural effect as much as losing Burgess, but what does this move mean for...

Ben Spies secured the coveted Rookie of the Year crown in yesterday’s Australian MotoGP race.
The Texan though admitted he’d not been overly concerned with claiming the honour, his fifth place in Phillip Island also ensuring he will finish top...
I mentioned some time ago that I was working on Ben Spies actual 2003 Supersport bike.
Here is the actual Supersport bike back in 03 with Spies aboard:

We acquired it through some AMA contacts. I decided to update it and make it look like Spies last AMA title livery...
Great interview with Ben. Talks about a few things, mentioned Espargaro messing up his last qualifying lap on purpose. Ben said he wont forget that....

the yellow color on the left hand side are disgusting. the ........ "texas terror" pic on the top left is so bad and ruins the pattern. his pic in the middle looks like it was taken when he was on the crapper...
a bit old news, but holiday season and being hung over does let you miss a few headlines
