Ben Spies / Team Yamaha Tech 3 / Yamaha M1
Ben Spies best rookie of the year
While Casey Stoner again proved that he ruled
supreme on the Phillip Island circuit (4 th consecutive
win), Ben Spies, the rider of the Monster Yamaha Tech
3 Team was once again in the limelight.
The real revelation of the season, the best rookie 2010
indeed clinched a Top 5 position for the fifth time of the
season. This excellent result confirms the potential of
this peerless rider discovered by Yamaha and who has
already announced that he will be signed up next year
in the official Fiat Yamaha stable.
As for the other Motul riders, the results are not quite as
brilliant with Colin Edwards (Monster Yamaha Tech 3)
and Alvaro Bautista (Rizla Suzuki) who respectively secured
7 th and 12 th places. Mention must also be made
of the big fright for ‘Mr 315 th Grand Prix’ in other words
Loris Capirossi who suffered a bad fall during the
qualifyings and was unable to participate in the race
because of an injury to his left adductor. Currently
undergoing physiotherapy, he should be back before
the last round of the season at Estoril.
