By far my favorite season of WSBK ever. Man, Spies was a true beast on that Yamaha. He definitely made his American fans proud. 🇺🇸💪👍

Ben is one of the greatest Superbike racers ever! He went to wsb switched brands of bike, different brand of tires, and on tracks he had never seen before, and won his first year!! Even after several dnfs, blown engine, tire came apart, etc. On a bike that had not won one race before.

I went to this race. Made a trip from the US to see the 2009 Qatar MotoGP race (the year it rained), and had a layover on the way back in Amsterdam the day before the Assen WSBK race. Decided I’d be crazy not to go, so I told my boss I needed an extra day off and changed my flight. Was disappointed to see Ben crash in race 1, but race 2 made up for it! I had a pit pass, so got some pictures of the post race interview podium with Ben, Nori, and Haslam. This race was 14+ years ago, wow!?!

Ahh, the memories. This was a fun season to watch and Ben's career was just taking off. Had it not been for so many mechanical issues and crashes, he probably would have clinched the championship with a several races left. Too bad he never reached his potential in MotoGP. He was very good and beat Simoncelli and Dovi regularly, but he just couldn't keep up with the aliens. Plus, his relationship with Lin Jarvis was, flat out, toxic and nothing he did was ever good enough. I read somewhere that he had planned to go back to WSBK on a Ducati but his shoulder injury never healed well enough to allow him to ride competitively. Would have loved to watch him duking it out with Rea and company.

Even in AMA 600 class Spies was almost frightening to watch. AMA tracks have walls and no run off area. Ben would have the bike twisted and pushed over the limit. He was steps ahead of Josh Herring and Roger Hayden at the time. I'd see him talk to established racers like Troy Corser and look like a fan. He didn't see himself at their level even though he was.

Even though I'm from the U.S. and would love to see Spies win, I couldn't agree more. Would be a shame if he never brought home a championship in his career. Haga and Bayliss have always been my favorite riders not only for their winning ways, but simply for their fantastic character.

I believe Ben went on to win one MotoGP race at assen. However his career fizzled out shortly afterwards. Always wondered what went wrong. I will call you fell and hurt his shoulder something you can never seem to come back but always thought maybe there was something else. The guy was super fast and super motivated. The Duel between him and haga Rivals that of Edwards and Bayless.
