seems that even the people that drew it up have no answer as to whether or not Spies is eligible....

some notable parts of the rule
1.11.11 Riders who enter the Championship for the first time (Rookies) must be entered by a non factory team.
1.11.3.iii Exceptional circumstances will be examined by IRTA and DORNA/FIM.
everyone had been disqualifying Spies under the rookie rule and saying that Crutchlow, Japanese test riders and such would most likely be the ones, but under the rules, they are also rookies.
