Thanks, but I'm not done trying: 
And someone already did the thinking for me:
Here's the full article I read about this:

Miracles CAN happen!
The FIM GP Regulation 1.11.11 states "Riders who enter the Championship for the first time (Rookies) must be entered by a non factory team." Also, the FIM Regulations defines rookie: "A ‘Rookie' is a rider nominated by a participating team for participation in the entire season, who has not participated in nine or more events in the same class in any previous season."
And someone already did the thinking for me:
The language is vague, but the magic number here may be "nine." As of Mugello, Spies has only participated in eight MotoGP races: his four races this year, his wildcard with Tech 3 at Valencia in 2009, and his three 2008 Rizla Suzuki appearances (British GP, Indianapolis and Laguna Seca).
Would this still make Spies a rookie until he participates in the upcoming Silverstone round, which will give him "nine or more events in the same class?"
