I'm stoked about seeing him in Indy... hope he can do well. From everything I've read/seen of Ben... (which is limited) he seems like a class act. he didn't air all the dirt with him and Mladin. which would have been the easy thing to do...
anyways... it'll bring more attention to MotoGP and motorcycle racing in general in the US... so FUCK YEAH! |

yeah him and Mladin didn't get along too well... the broadcasters talked about it a bit... but neither Mladin or Spies said anything... which is cool IMO... they let their riding do the talking

not sure where it was but Mladin elbowed Spies in mid corner(or something like that)... then a couple races later... Spies made an insane pass on Mladin... they refrenced both of those when they were talking about it

it helps that theyre both bonkers fast so like you said, their riding does the talking. All that does explain why mat pushed away bens hand when he tried to congradulate him after a race.

yeah that's was the other thing they were talking about...
they did an interview and you could tell there was no love lost... but they kept civil tongues and complemented each others skill... |
