The Ben

I was really bummed to read this morning that Ben Spies has decided to call it quits. Probably nobody will be able to explain what happened with him in MotoGP, and I am really sad that we will not be seeing him on a motorcycle track again.

I will never forget his WSBK title, and the fights he had with Haga. There were some memorable fights there, and his talent was so obvious. Then the move to Yamaha MotoGP, the top bike at the time, and it was basically set for him to be fighting for the title there within a year or two. But something just didn't work out.

Enjoy your retirement Ben! I'll miss seeing you race...
