Yoshimura Suzuki’s Ben Spies, Mat Mladin and Tommy Hayden spent today testing new racing rain tires at a Dunlop facility near Huntsville, Alabama. “We were at Dunlop in Alabama,” Spies told Roadracingworld.com Thursday. “I got about 70 laps in the rain, so that was pretty decent, well, in the sprinkler rain. I wish they would’ve kept the sprinklers on to cool me down. [laughs] It was good. We got to try some set-up stuff and some mapping stuff.” Spies rode his Superbike at the test, which was held on a proving ground course and not a dedicated racetrack. He was joined by his teammates Mat Mladin and Tommy Hayden. No other teams attended the test.
