Throttlehand Exclusive: Ben Spies discusses Laguna Seca

Well, its been a great weekend at Laguna and my focus moved from Colin Edwards to Ben Spies on friday when we locked in an interview with him towards the end of the day. Here is the video I produced and it explains why he's been having issues and successes so far this season.

Enjoy!

Nice interview!

I like how he compares the Motogp bike vs WSB bike to the difference between an F1 car vs Touring car. Really helps put things into perspective. Also when he mentioned the bike not feeling good unless it was really pushed to its limits, good stuff!

Thanks for the video. Hopefully Spies has what it takes to make that final 1-2% and in the future win a MotoGP title (or 2 or more?)
