Spies: ‘Crap luck’ ruined victory shot

Ben Spies believes he was in with a realistic chance of victory at Indianapolis before his engine blew early on while the Texan was in second. Spies had moved to the front of the field in the opening stages and then fended off one challenge from Honda's Dani Pedrosa, before finally succumbing to the Spaniard on lap four. The Yamaha rider kept him honest however until his engine blew on the main straight just two laps later, allowing Pedrosa to cruise to a dominant victory and leaving Spies to bemoan another stroke of bad luck which he felt cost him a shot at victory in his home race
