The win has done a lot to boost his moral and confidence, making him believe that he can win more races in the future. Now, Spies hopes the colors will bring him even ore luck at the iconic Laguna Seca circuit in California this weekend.
The two riders will again wear the special red and white YZR-M1 WGP50th Anniversary Edition livery. Spies is a three time AMA race winner at Laguna and scored an impressive sixth place finish in his MotoGP rookie visit last year.
“It’s always exciting to race in front of the home crowd and It’s going to be a big event for Yamaha with the 50th anniversary colours being run again. They were lucky for me at Assen and hopefully they can bring me more luck in front of my friends and family. I’ve had some pretty good results in my AMA days at Laguna and I love riding the circuit. It’s going to be a serious race weekend but it’s also going to be a lot of fun so I’m looking forward to seeing a lot of old faces at the track,” stated Spies.
“I love this new livery so much; I wish we could ride with it all year. This is now my third year with Yamaha but it feels like I’ve been in the family much longer. So many of my heroes from when I was a child were on Yamaha bikes so to be here now is an unreal feeling. I can’t wait to run the livery at Laguna in front of my home crowd, it’s going to be quite a show!”
