On August 28 in 2010 Tech3 Yamaha rider Ben Spies took his one and only pole position in MotoGP.

Alongside Ben on the front row were Jorge Lorenzo and Nicky Hayden, the Kentucky Kid’s first front row with Ducati.

Come Sunday, Dani Pedrosa beat Spies to the win by just over three-seconds. Jorge Lorenzo was a similar distance further behind in third.

After the race Ben commented, “I’m really happy to have got my best result in MotoGP in front of the American crowd and at a track as famous as Indianapolis. I always said I wanted my best result in my home race, so it’s mission accomplished. After the pole position I got a great start and it felt good to be out front for the first time in MotoGP. But I didn’t have the pace for Dani today and he rode a great race. I’m happy because I didn’t make too many mistakes when I was out in front and I was consistent for the whole race. When Dani passed me I knew I couldn’t follow him, so I let him go and concentrated on keeping a gap to Jorge in third and that’s what I achieved. I can’t complain because it was a great weekend and to be top Yamaha rider when you look at who else is on that bike is pretty satisfying. It hasn’t sunk in yet that I’ve finished second in my home race. But I’ll enjoy it before I hop on a plane and try and do it again in Misano next weekend.”
