Q & A with Spies
A funny interview with Ben Spies by Malaysian FM radio channel.
Ben Spies claims 2009 World SBK title
For the first time ever, a rookie rider wins the world title in his first season, and with this win Yamaha Teams’ claimed both the 2009 MotoGP and World SBK tiltes.
Ducati came second in the 2009 SBK but first in the manufacturers standings -best production bike-
Rea the raising star
Race 1: Haga’s start was best and he managed to lead the race up to couple of laps before the chequered flag when he made a slight mistake.. Spies cut loose and took the win. Makoto Tamada got into an incident with John Hopkins shortly after the start, they were both taken to the hospital.
Race 2: Haga did another mistake but this one costed him the race, and might cost him the season, he slowed down in the middle of a corner trying to go back to the race line but Rea was coming in fast… both made contact.. Haga fell and Rea claimed the podium.
