Ben Spies Very Comfortable on YZRM1 at Silverstone Practice

Ben Spies Silverstone 2012

Despite a small crash at turn 15 in the morning wet session, Spies was back out and fast from the start in the afternoon as the sun came out. Ben Spies just 0.034 seconds behind Casey Stoner at the second practice and took second fastest of the session.

Ben Spies, "Today was pretty good, although we didn’t get off to a great start this morning, I had a small mishap and crashed at T15. I’m happy enough though, even this morning in the rain I was very comfortable on the bike. We got a good dry session in this afternoon as well which is useful just in case we do have a dry race. The bike is working really well, it was pretty windy out there but we made the most of the 45 minutes to try a couple of things and we ended up going pretty quick."

Massimo Meregalli, the Yamaha Factory Racing Team Director added, "Ben started where he left off at the Aragon test with a good pace. He is able to make a fast lap quite easily and his feeling with the bike has been immediately good. "
