spies

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...

Did Google translate get this right?  Does it say that Max will ride Ben Spies bike at the Mugello test tomorrow?   http://www.gpone.com/en/2013060410407/Biaggi-al-Mugello-sulla-Ducati-MotoGP.html

"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." LINK       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...

Spies is out of PI for sure, and in my view with Valencia a 2 week after that it is probable that he'll miss it as well.... http://www.crash.net/motogp/news/185380/1/official_ben_spies_to_miss_phillip_island.html Speedy recovery to him....

Just tried to translate an article from Bautista's fans, some is lost in translation, but what I can gather is that Spies might have been offered a Gresini ride for next year. Not sure if they have one or two bikes next year Here's the article in Spanish...

Julian Ryder tweet...Ben to WSBK BMW 2 year deal...two reliable sources. Also... http://www.radiosbk.com/ ...english translation... Go! The little scoop (the big scoop! ...) The day exclusively for readers RadioSbk. Some of you have already read that Ben Spies Yamaha leave at the end of...

"Next year starts a new chapter. And yes I'm pumped!” - Ben Spies. Crash Well we were all waiting for it to happen, hope hes not out of motogp!

Not sure what this means but it don't look good to me and he has the nerve to say the races aren't good, well if he got his ... up to the front they might be better. From his twitter

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...

Spies went from 4th to eleventh, did I miss something what happened?

http://www.crash.net/motogp/news/176772/1/ben_spies_scary_stoner_can_be_beaten.htm Careful not to say the best ever, but the fastest and most talented. Spies believes reigning double MotoGP champion Casey Stoner could be 'the fastest and the most talented person that's touched a...

According to Lin Jarvis it is "Except for his race win, Ben's cumulative race results were disappointing, and I'm sure he would be disappointed and I'm not satisfied," Jarvis said. "We expect more than one race win (in 2012) from Ben, without doubt. It's a competitive world, we are here to...

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...

http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/08062011/58/spies-extends-yamaha-contract.html Looks like the 3rd place at Catalunya mean't more than it seemed.

Spies talks about the start of his season - his duel with Rossi at Qatar, his crash in Jerez, injury of Pedrosa etc. etc here My link

I don't blame him for his Jerez crash, everyone's tires were gone long before he went down, but with his disappointing showing in Qatar and now the DNF in Jerez he's destroying my hopes at a fantasy league win as I keep putting him on or near the podium. I was convinced that he'd be able to...

Lorenzo is obviously keen not to underestimate Ben. Probably wise

This is not a new video - but I've never seen it posted on PS.
