MotoGP Indianapolis: Ben Spies “I'm disappointed, not only for me but also for the team”
The "bad luck" of the Texan Yamaha rider today betrayed by his M1 continues
There seems to be no end to the bad luck that is gripping Ben Spies this year. After the forgotten caliper, the broken subframe in Qatar, the faulty swingarm that broke at Laguna Seca, today in Indianapolis the engine of his Yamaha YZR-M1 broke. Spies was fighting for the victory when a white smoke effectively ended his race, he has the say.
“Today I was unlucky once again. We had a bad crash yesterday and honestly I didn't know if I could ride 100% in the race. After sleeping the physiotherapists of the Mobile Clinic did an extraordinary job. We had a good start and I felt good on the bike, when Dani (Pedrosa) overtook me the plan was to let him gain a maximum of three seconds and then catch him up at the end. As soon as he passed me the bike he started to slow down, I wasn't sure what was happening then all of a sudden the engine exploded so I tried not to "smudge" the trajectory. I'm disappointed, not only for me but also for the team, I think we would have at least obtained second place and perhaps the victory. "

today could have been a great day... anyway for me it's not just bad luck!
It's not just bad luck if they happen to you with a certain regularity..
throughout the weekend Ben gave his heart, he's putting in his all, it's the team that isn't supporting him properly, these things aren't possible
he was right to leave Yamaha
….if it isn't MALFUNCTION it's INCOMPETENCE!
rear subframe in qatar
defective visor at the mans
tire completely ruined in absentia
food poisoning in Mugello
lagoon swingarm
engine exploded at indy
the jeuux are done!!!!!!
Am I forgetting something?
no it seems to me that nothing is missing, and the championship isn't over yet
I thought that the tampering was over, given that he had already decided not to race for Yamaha anymore, this fury towards this rider is absurd
Spies, don't you think it would be ideal for Ducati?
there was only one ideal driver at that gate…

Stop hiding behind a finger! Even a child would understand that there is something going on here! Ben's season is unreal! It seems like a joke, he himself still expects something bad in Brno and this is a clear sign of how Yamaha is working in a BAD way. In the tech3 team I have never seen a technical problem, Jorge Lorenzo is always fine with everything, are you kidding me?!? I'm really happy that he's leaving this pseudo-team, I could very well see him in red in Ducati, but there in Borgo Panigale they don't seem to understand anything about it, they seem willing to take on a professional like Dovizioso who only goes forward with the perfect bike rather than a true tough and pure guy like Ben Spies who in superbike rode (or rather, tamed) the bike above all problems and with an unprecedented spirit of adaptation.
Everyone understood that Ben had victory in his grasp yesterday!
bob the best.. surely someone in yamaha is not able (or perhaps voluntarily) to give the right bike to spies, when the engine, when the brakes, and capable of it being the same person who poisoned him at mugello.. who knows .. maybe lin jarvis?
jarvis doesn't convince me regardless, if in doubt I'd give him a nice CARTOON on the teeth!
….IT'S DISGUSTING!!
on the other hand, or Jarvis or who else? but in the meantime, come on spies and next year in superbike (assuming you decide to go) really show who you are...
Maio Meregalli who has always followed Ben during his time in SBK says that there is no problem in the team..hahahahahha….naturally he will cover his butt otherwise…
Cereghini, furious at Meregalli's words, translates his thoughts by saying that Ben is immature..
guys, I better go to sbk again, this corrupt world really makes me sick..
I don't want to seem like a coward but... in his place I would take sick leave or finish twentieth to avoid risking my health.
But do we realize it?
Every race something happens, worse than to Shumi in Mercedes.
Michael, however, drives inside a 4-wheel cockpit...
Running and getting your balls out is ok, risking your life or getting seriously hurt doesn't exist.
Health is priceless, without making references to deaths or paralysis otherwise I will write until tomorrow morning.
