One of the MotoGP’s worst kept secrets is expected to be announced officially this weekend that Ben Spies is to be the replacement team rider for the departing Valentino Rossi at Yamaha.
Spies will ride alongside the 2010 championship leader Jorge Lorenzo, despite the Spaniard not yet having signed his contract for the 2011 season.
The team are also looking for another sponsor for next year as the current Fiat sponsors are likely to follow Rossi to the Ducati team. According to reports the team have been in talks with Telefonica, the Spanish telecommunications company as well as their existing partner Petronas.
