Ben Spies in for Capirossi at Suzuki for British GP

[FourWheelDrift]

Due to Loris's hand injury from his race crash in Catalunya, US Suzuki racer and AMA Champion Ben Spies will be replacing him for Donington.

I expect him to be on a MotoGP Suzuki next year anyway, if not a Rizla Factory bike a 2nd string Factory bike (maybe single bike team).

Ooh. Saw that Cap wasn't going to be riding... could be interesting,

Spies is clearly talented, should impress maybe not at donnington but at assen if he gets the chance for sure, in america he could be a dark horse, need more bikes on grid so hope he can do great and persuade suzuki to run 3 next year, although i suspect he will be there no matter what.

good luck to him, cant see him winning as there are so many extremely talented riders that already know the track very well but i hope he does well.
