Dovizioso takes first ever premier class pole
Saturday, 02 October 2010
The Repsol Honda rider will start from pole position for the first time in the MotoGP category in Sunday’s Grand Prix of Japan after finishing ahead of Valentino Rossi, Casey Stoner and Jorge Lorenzo in qualifying.
Motegi 2010 - MotoGP - QP - Highlights
Andrea Dovizioso’s first pole position in the premier class was secured on Saturday as the Repsol Honda rider topped the qualifying session for the Grand Prix of Japan. Having taken his first-ever MotoGP front-row start at Laguna Seca earlier this season the Italian went one better at Motegi, where he won a battle for first position on the timesheet with a lap of 1’47.001.
Valentino Rossi’s final lap of the session placed the Fiat Yamaha rider in second position and gave him his first front-row starting position since he took pole at Le Mans back in May. The reigning World Champion, who has looked in good shape throughout the weekend, was just 0.054s off his fellow Italian.
Completing the front row having battled with Dovizioso for top spot in the closing stages was Casey Stoner. The Ducati Team rider, who had a minor run off at turn five early on, was a fraction over a tenth of a second off the pole position time.
Starting a race off the front row for the first time this season will be Championship leader Jorge Lorenzo, after the Fiat Yamaha man placed fourth in the session. Lorenzo had led during the early stages but eventually ended the hour 0.205s off Dovizioso’s pace. Colin Edwards (Monster Yamaha Tech 3) equalled his best qualification of the season so far with fifth, with team-mate Ben Spies once again proving his aptitude at learning new tracks in an impressively quick manner and taking the final spot on row two.
Two run offs during the session failed to hold back Randy de Puniet (LCR Honda) as he placed seventh, with Marco Simoncelli (San Carlo Honda Gresini Team) and Rizla Suzuki duo Álvaro Bautista and Loris Capirossi completing the top ten. The veteran Italian had a crash early on in the session but returned to the track to set his best time, which was just over a second off pole.
Héctor Barberá (Páginas Amarillas Aspar) was the only other rider to crash, with Nicky Hayden (Ducati Team), Aleix Espargaró (Pramac Racing) and Hiroshi Aoyama (Interwetten Honda MotoGP) all having run offs.
The MotoGP race is scheduled to get underway at 3pm local time on Sunday.

Max the first Italian WSBK Champ
Sunday, 26 September 2010 16:31
Max Biaggi (Aprilia Alitalia) did enough during a tough Imola race day to earn his, Aprilia's and Italy's first Riders' World Championship in WSBK. Biaggi had to work hard for his title on home soil, finishing in 11th place in race one and enduring another dramatic race to fifth that finally gave him the title. Once his only title rival, Leon Haslam (Suzuki Alstare), was forced out of race two at mid-race distance Biaggi did not need to finish to be crowned champion, but he crossed the line fifth in any case, to the roars of the 69,000 strong weekend crowd. Biaggi now has 413 points to Haslam's 350, with one round and a maximum of only 50 points remaining.
Carlos Checa (Althea Racing) won both Imola races, the first after a race-long fight, the second after breaking away early. He is now only 14 points behind the injured Jonathan Rea (Hannspree Ten Kate Honda) in the fight for an eventual third place, with Rea not racing today and also not sure if he will be racing in the final round or not. Cal Crutchlow is in overall fifth, 35 points behind Checa, posting tenth and third places today. Haga's double podium today puts him one point behind Crutchlow, in sixth. James Toseland (Yamaha Sterilgarda) is seventh, but only three points up on Sylvain Guintoli (Suzuki Alstare) due to two crashes and non-finishes today.
Raceday in Italy was all about Biaggi and Aprilia, but in one way the job is not quite finished, as the Manufacturers' Championship is still to be decided at the final round, with Aprilia currently 41 points ahead of Ducati.
Max Biaggi: "I'm so happy, it's a big emotion through all my body. This is fantastic. It's like a dream come true, I never stopped to dream to make it happen. It was always in my mind. In fair conditions I expected it myself, OK this year we at Aprilia did a good job, there are tough riders out there, I don't want to take anything away from them, some are more consistent than others but they are all fast and this championship is very competitive. I had so many problems in race 1, off the track, on the track, the bike sideways but I didn't crash. It was very tough, for sure we didn't get the best set-up here at Imola, it's not an easy track but I never stopped to try. In race 2 we changed the bike and I attacked from the first lap. This is a really great day for me, for all my team, for Aprilia Alitalia, my sponsors, everyone who supported us to make this dream come true. We really made it happen."

Stoner seals second straight win with Motegi victory
Sunday, 03 October 2010
The Ducati Team rider scored back-to-back victories with first place in the Grand Prix of Japan on Sunday. Pole man Andrea Dovizioso finished second whilst Valentino Rossi beat Championship leader Jorge Lorenzo to the final podium spot after an epic battle with his team-mate.
Motegi 2010 - MotoGP - Race - Highlights
Casey Stoner followed up his first win of the season at Aragón with a second victory of 2010 in the Grand Prix of Japan on Sunday, with pole man Andrea Dovizioso second and Valentino Rossi third. It was another strong win from Ducati rider Stoner as he slowly pulled away from Dovizioso throughout the 24-lap race, but the real excitement was drawn from team-mates Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo’s intense battle for the final spot on the podium.
As he did last time out at Aragón Stoner got a fast start and took the lead on the opening lap, and as he settled into his rhythm and consistently posted fast laps Dovizioso – starting from pole for the first time in the premier class – stuck with him for the early stages. Lorenzo hinted at what was to come as he passed Rossi to assume third, and that was just the start of the duo’s enthralling contest.
Ben Spies (Monster Yamaha Tech 3) and Nicky Hayden (Ducati Team) ran off at turn five together on only the second lap as they dropped down the order, whilst rookie Marco Simoncelli (San Carlo Honda Gresini) and Colin Edwards (Monster Yamaha Tech 3) pitted their wits against one another in the push for fifth.
Stoner began to open up a slender lead over Dovizioso which grew to a second with seven laps remaining, while further down the order Loris Capirossi (Rizla Suzuki) was forced to retire when his bike stalled as he ran wide alongside team-mate Álvaro Bautista in the chase for seventh place.
With Stoner now assured of victory and Dovizioso a return to the podium after an eight-race stint without a top-three finish, Rossi and Lorenzo locked horns. Repeatedly pushing one another the pair touched bikes with two laps to go as they fought side by side in a rousing finale to the race.
Victory for Stoner came by a margin of 3.868s and Dovizioso’s fifth podium of the season – his first since Silverstone – was also confirmed. Rossi managed to hold his own in third place and score a seventh rostrum result of 2010, and in the process ensure that Lorenzo finished outside the top three for the second successive race.
Edwards posted a season’s best result of fifth, with Simoncelli sixth and Bautista seventh. Spies Randy de Puniet (LCR Honda) and Hiroshi Aoyama (Interwetten Honda MotoGP) completed the top ten.
In the absence of the injured Dani Pedrosa, Lorenzo’s lead at the top of the Championship was extended to 69 points. Stoner remains in third, with Dovizioso leapfrogging Rossi into fourth.

Parkes Signs For Two Years With Kawasaki In WSS
Newsflash, 3 October 2010
Next year Kawasaki Provec Motocard.com will compete in the Supersport World Championship, in order to fight for the title again in this important category of racing.
Australian rider Broc Parkes (28) will be one of the two riders for 2011, having signed a two-year contract with the Provec team on 1st September.
The second rider would normally have been Katsuaki Fujiwara, but in the end Kawasaki and the team decided to propose that he move to Japan, and begin work as a KHI test rider, for race development on the new Ninja ZX-10R and Ninja ZX-6R. Katsuaki will run in the Asian Championship and may also undertake some wildcard rides in WSS or WSBK in 2011. At 35-years-old, this is a great opportunity for Katsuaki and his career.
The second rider for Provec in 2011 is still to be confirmed.
Guim Roda (Team Manager): “As soon as we knew Broc was free we didn’t doubt for a minute to sign him for 2011 and 2012. He is a good rider and a great person. For us, we began the winter tests with Broc in the last three races of 2010. Regarding Fujiwara, we agree with the Kawasaki decision to offer Kats the possibility to be the next test rider for KHI. It is a big opportunity for him to be near his family and son in Japan, and fight for new goals after many years in the WSS Championship. Lascorz will go to WSBK, so we need a second rider. Regarding this, we are already talking with other riders. The important point is to decide on whether to take a young rider or a more experienced one, and after that we will try to make an agreement. Sure, it will not be easy because there’s other good teams too, but we will find the best option for us and try to make a decision on Monday after the race.”

Lorenzo soars to significant Malaysian pole
Saturday, 09 October 2010
The Fiat Yamaha rider bettered Nicky Hayden and Andrea Dovizioso in qualifying to take his sixth pole position of the season, from which he will launch his first bid at clinching the 2010 title. Ben Spies, Casey Stoner and Valentino Rossi qualified on the second row.
Sepang 2010 - MotoGP - QP - Highlights
Jorge Lorenzo will start the Shell Advance Malaysian Motorcycle Grand Prix from pole position – his sixth of the season – after topping qualifying at Sepang on Saturday. The Fiat Yamaha rider can secure the 2010 title with a finish of at least ninth place in Sunday’s race, and placed himself in prime position to do so with a best lap of 2’01.537.
Nicky Hayden appeared close to securing his first pole in three years when he took the lead of the session towards the end, but the Ducati rider will not be disappointed with his second front-row start of the season after eventually losing out to Lorenzo by exactly one-tenth of a second.
Following up his first premier class pole last time out at Motegi, Andrea Dovizioso secured third position on the grid with another impressive qualifying display. The sole Repsol Honda representative this weekend was 0.292s off Lorenzo’s marker by the conclusion of the hour-long session.
Just missing out on a front-row start by a margin of 0.164s, and also the final rider under the 2’02” barrier in the session, Ben Spies took fourth spot having led the timings with ten minutes remaining. Casey Stoner of the Ducati Team ended the session in fifth position, just seven-thousandths ahead of Valentino Rossi (Fiat Yamaha) who took the final slot on row two.
Completing the top ten in the session were Colin Edwards (Monster Yamaha Tech 3), Rizla Suzuki duo Álvaro Bautista and Loris Capirossi, and Marco Melandri (San Carlo Honda Gresini). Héctor Barberá (Paginas Amarillas Aspar) had a fall at the very end of the session and qualified in 15th.
The MotoGP race is scheduled to get underway at 4pm local time on Sunday.

Stoner takes the momentum in second session
Saturday, 16 October 2010
The Ducati Team rider settled into his rhythm in FP2 at the Iveco Australian Grand Prix on Saturday morning, setting the fastest lap ahead of Monster Yamaha Tech 3 pair Colin Edwards and Ben Spies. Jorge Lorenzo was fourth, with Valentino Rossi eighth.
Casey Stoner was on the pace in the second practice at Phillip Island as he set a best lap of 1'31.243 to top the session by a margin of 0.757s. The Ducati Team rider, who has won for the past three seasons on his home track, was the only rider to get under the 1'32" barrier in the hour-long session.
In second and with a time of exactly 1'32.000 was Monster Yamaha Tech 3 rider Colin Edwards, with his team-mate Ben Spies putting in a solid session to place third at a tenth off his fellow American's time.
2010 MotoGP World Champion Jorge Lorenzo (Fiat Yamaha), who was quickest in the first practice on Friday, was fourth at 0.925s off Stoner's pace with Nicky Hayden (Ducati Team) and Andrea Dovizioso (Repsol Honda) fifth and sixth respectively and the last two riders to get within a second of the top time.
Randy de Puniet (LCR Honda) was seventh in the session - the Frenchman had a crash at turn four but returned to the track to set his best time - with Valentino Rossi (Fiat Yamaha) eighth at 1.424s down on Stoner.
There were still some patches of damp on the track, which measured at 11ºC, and Marco Melandri (San Carlo Honda Gresini) appeared to catch some standing water on the edge of the asphalt when he went down at turn 11. Stoner and Dovizioso both ran on at points in the session as they negotiated some tricky conditions.
Continuing his return to action was Repsol Honda rider Dani Pedrosa who finished the session just over 3.5s off Stoner's pace, but with his focus being on improving his comfort on his RC212V.

Stoner strength on home soil underlined with Phillip Island pole
Saturday, 16 October 2010
The Ducati Team rider secured pole position for his home race – the Iveco Australian Grand Prix – with a solid qualifying display which placed him ahead of Jorge Lorenzo and Ben Spies, who will also start from the front row. Valentino Rossi qualified in eighth position.
Phillip Island 2010 - MotoGP - QP - Highlights
Casey Stoner took his third pole position of the season with the best time in qualification for the Iveco Australian Grand Prix of 1’30.107 on Saturday, as he secured top spot on the starting grid at Phillip Island for the third consecutive season. The Australian, who has won his home GP for the last three years, was an impressive 0.668s clear of the rest of the field by the end of the session.
World Champion Jorge Lorenzo (Fiat Yamaha) was the only rider able to get within a second of Stoner, as the Spaniard joined his rival under the 1’31” barrier. Lorenzo briefly led the session with his time of 1’30.775 but eventually had to settle for second on the grid.
Achieving his third front-row starting position of the season Ben Spies set the third best time of the session, the Monster Yamaha Tech 3 rider closing out the 60-minute run at 1.279s off the pole time of Stoner.
Hot on the heels of the American and registering a best qualification of the season to date was rookie Marco Simoncelli (San Carlo Honda Gresini), at just 16-thousandths of a second behind in fourth. Colin Edwards (Monster Yamaha Tech 3) was a similar distance (0.013s) further back in fifth, with Nicky Hayden (Ducati Team) taking sixth position in the session and crashing at turn four towards the end.
Randy de Puniet (LCR Honda) will head up the third row after setting the seventh fastest time, with Valentino Rossi (Fiat Yamaha) failing to overcome the issues he experienced in both practice sessions and qualifying in eighth, which is his worst starting grid position of the season to date. Andrea Dovizioso (Repsol Honda) and Marco Melandri (San Carlo Honda Gresini) completed the top ten.
The recovering Dani Pedrosa (Repsol Honda) qualified in 15th position as he prepares for his first race back after missing the last two rounds, whilst Héctor Barberá (Páginas Amarillas Aspar) and Loris Capirossi (Rizla Suzuki) both crashed during the session and qualified in 16th and 17th positions respectively. Capirossi sustained a pulled adductor of the left leg in his fall which has placed his participation in the race in doubt.
Inside the final five minutes spots of rain were significant enough to effectively mark the end of the session, as the riders abandoned any further attempts at improving their times. Sunday’s MotoGP race is scheduled to start at 4pm local time.

Lorenzo aiming for Estoril hat-trick
Tuesday, 26 October 2010
The Fiat Yamaha rider has a 100% win record at the Portuguese circuit in the premier class, and is looking to secure victory in his first race back in Europe after being crowned 2010 World Champion.
Jorge Lorenzo is preparing to round off what has been a highly momentous 2010 season in style in the final two rounds, as he targets strong celebratory results at Estoril and Valencia over the next two weekends.
There is no better place for the 23 year-old to start than at Estoril and this weekend’s bwin Grande Premio de Portugal will offer the Fiat Yamaha rider the chance to go for an eighth win of the season on a track he only has winning form on in the premier class.
In his debut season in 2008 the then rookie took his first MotoGP win at Estoril in just his third premier class race, and last year he repeated the victory there from pole position. Along with Le Mans it is the only track he has won at more than once in the elite category, and combined with the support he usually receives Lorenzo is understandably looking forward to Round 17.
"We now have the last two races in a row, and they are two very special races. The first one is Estoril, where I've had some of my best moments in MotoGP in the last two seasons,” said Lorenzo. “I had never won there before in 125 or 250, but since 2008 I have had two victories! I like the Estoril track and I always seem to feel so good there.”
The Spaniard continued: “It also always seems a bit like another Spanish GP. Many people from home are coming and I am looking forward to feeling their support, because it's the first time I've ridden so close to home since becoming World Champion.”
Last year’s victory was marked in a very special manner and Lorenzo concluded by adding that he would relish the chance to pull out another unique celebration: “I am still on a high and I would like try to win again, like last year when the astronaut arrived!"
