Sunday… MotoGP is back! And I’m more excited for this season than I have been since I first started watching back in 2004. Why? Ben Spies. After blowing through World Superbike last year on his way to a championship in his ROOKIE SEASON, Ben is now teamed up with Colin Edwards for Yamaha, and I can’t wait to see what he can do against Rossi, Lorenzo, and Stoner.

And best of all, MotoGP this year will be broadcast on Speed Channel in HD – finally! I’m truly looking forward to seeing how this season plays out and have been getting myself pumped up by watching GP videos on Youtube. If you like motorcycle racing, these are great short highlight videos and are a blast to watch.

Here’s hoping for a fun, competitive season.

Sweet. Yamaha’s MotoGP weapon, the YZF-M1, in full factory livery glory. I may be biased (ok, I ride a Yamaha, so I for sure am biased), but the blue and black combo on this bike fits so perfectly.

Ben Spies will be a wild-card entrant in the Valencia round of MotoGP on a Yamaha bike – could this be what his ride will look like? It would certainly be fun to see Big Ben on this blue beauty.
