Team Yoshimura Suzuki’s Ben Spies clinched his first AMA Superbike title aboard his GSX-R1000 at last week's final-round at Lexington’s Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course as team mates Mat Mladin and Aaron Yates topped the rostrum.
In a race that was red flagged, the young Texan finished seventh; he had to finish within the top 13 to clinch the series and record Suzuki’s fourth title in a row.
