It sucks that Ben Spies is getting away from the factory teams, but it bitter sweet because he is obviously doing it so he can get back to just enjoying himself out there without all the excessive spotlight.
The part about BS is complete speculation, as the article stated. I read so many tweets and article that speculates how he is somehow in talks with with pretty much every single team in the paddock except Yamaha.
Personally I don’t think he will remain in GP; There another speculation…:rofl
