Definitely the past days haven’t been easy for Loris Capirossi as the Grand Prix of China had reserved for him only a ninth position at length with the large group composed of Hayden, Melandri, Dovizioso and Lorenzo.
Even worst, during the fifth round Loris was the author of a small mistake which send it right on the twelfth place and had shown Borgo Rivola the way to a splendid comeback by turning on the same facts reported by the time World Champion in office, Casey Stoner. (...) >> read
Early in the race, Valentino Rossi manages to stay strong under the conditions of “hybrid” asphalt, but as the laps are gathered one by one Yamaha’s pilot puts on the turbo.
The only one that decently remained competitive was Dani Pedrosa who then gave up just a few laps before the flag entered the scene. “Bronze” goes to Casey Stoner who stood up only 12 seconds behind Pedrosa while, surprisingly, the fourth position is being occupied by Jorge Lorenzo.
Following the tops, Marco (...) >> read
After seeing the flight of Jorge Lorenzo it seems that nothing can amaze us as strongly as that did, but now rival Dani Pedrosa founds itself and its bike air born in what seems to be a painful incident. So pilots aren’t just competing for places on the podium, but at scary falls also.
Valentino Rossi has all the reasons to remember the past day. The Team Fiat Yamaha pilot obtained the best time of the day, positioning itself in front of the Ducati Marlboro pilot, Casey Stoner.
It is more than obvious that we’re witnessing the ending of its adaptation period as Rossi gets well along with the Japanese Covers. Even best is the fact that the retuned M1 provides a pilot’s daring right hand with all of the extra horsepower for a rocket-like incursion down the (... >> read
After presenting you the gallery frame by frame, here we come with the video of the terrible fall that Jorge Lorenzo experienced early in the morning. The Spanish pilot was thrown away from his Yamaha M1 and then violently hit the ground with both knees. Fortunately, Lorenzo isn’t as hurt as you may expect after such a crash, but the fear of slides proves once again well justified. Not the reaction of fellow teammate Valentino Rossi!
Honda has been preparing the big change for long time and although the past few weeks have been promising, the team isn’t planning to just through the dices and see what happens, but meticulously plan the big move. This means that the pneumatic valve engine won’t be powering the Repsol Honda at Shanghai as it isn’t yet ready and tested. Rider Dani Pedrosa confirms:
"The engine isn’t here. It’s not ready. I asked to have the engine once it is ready and working, so (...) >> read
The Shanghai weekend proved partly bad and partly good that is if your appreciation depends on certain pilots. On top of the classifications list Jorge Lorenzo was the author of a ruinous fall in the free practice run while the world champion Casey Stoner classifies as being first and the seven times champion Valentino Rossi, second with a detachment of only 0,052 from Stoner’s best time of FP2 in 2’00 “163. Rossi also has the mental advantage of being the only pilot to have (...) >> read
Kawasaki Racing Team has all the reasons to be happy as at the Grand Prix of Shanghai John Hopkins has reached the 100 attendance in the queen class.
Even greater for Kawasaki is the fact that their famous pilot isn’t even yet in its best form so we should be soon witnessing an ascendant graphic of the Hopkin’s performance and hopefully a successful attempt to repeat last year’s result. Then, on the Chinese track John Hopkins adjudicated its first MotoGP podium. (...) >> read
What if I would tell you that the Yamaha RDLC 500 V4, Suzuki RG 500 and the Honda NSR 400 have all plans of big comebacks? Your mind will immediately open the small locker in which are kept memories of the mythical and legendary two-stroke models, the smell of burned rubber and the never ending battles between riders participating in the 500cc class. Wayne Rainey, Kevin Schwantz and Mick Doohan surely knew how to earn their place in motorcycle racing history.
Even best is the fact that (... >> read
