After a very weak start to the season riding the factory Yamaha and loosing a lot confidence after several crashes, but Ben Spies finally broke his duck today at Assen, to give us one of his stellar performances that many fans remembered from when he was racing in the AMA and in WSBK’s and made him a champion.
Not only did Spies blitz the field, showing that the Yamaha M1 isn’t that far behind the highly hyped Honda as many may have thought, he was also the second rider to come from the Superbike series to win a MotoGP race, since Troy Bayliss put everyone to shame back in 2006 at Valencia.
“It was a strange race today as it was one of the most comfortable races we had and it resulted in a win,” said the Texas Terror.
“I saw the Simoncelli crash on the TV screen in the corner of my eye so I knew about it.
I had a good feeling in the bike in the first couple of laps and had to push as much as I could to get a gap.
When Casey was pushing back I still had a few tenths if I needed to, we could always match the pace.
To do it this weekend with the 50th colours gives a little bit of pressure but it came out good! I was racing as hard as I could, I have to thank my guys; they gave me a great bike today.
At least we’ve won a race now!”
