Bruce Anstey takes first ever TT superbike win
Published: Today 15:40


Bruce Anstey has taken his first ever superbike win at the Isle of Man TT, after seeing off an early charge from Ian Hutchinson to take his tenth TT win.

Hutchinson was an early leader on the PBM Kawasaki, but it was the Valvoline Padgetts Honda rider who was able to run a typical performance, increasing his pace lap by lap to take the win by over five seconds at the chequered flag.

Michael Dunlop looked set to return to the TT podium in third place, finishing a story that has seen him dramatically switch from Milwaukee Yamaha to Buildbase BMW half way through practice week. However, his incredible tale took another twist on the final lap of the race, crashing out of the race at the Nook.

That gave James Hillier an impressive trip to the podium, after catching and holding off pre-race favourite John McGuinness on the road, while the Tyco BMW of William Dunlop and the Penz13.com BMW of Michael Rutter were the only remaining riders to complete the final lap, after Dunlop's incident brought out the red flags.

The race was already one of high attrition, however, with front runners Guy Martin, Gary Johnson and Conor Cummins all among the non-finishers.

Project 156 Heads to Pikes Peak Getting ready: We’ll test the Victory Pikes Peak machine in Colorado this weekend.
June 5, 2015 By Don Canet 4 Comments
Photographer : Jeff Allen


Over the past few months I’ve had the pleasure of being cc’d on steady email correspondence between Victory Racing and Roland Sands Design. Along the way, I’ve seen Project 156 transform from rough concept drawings into sophisticated CAD illustrations and now, finally, a full-on race bike ready to tackle Pikes Peak in Colorado.

A few visits to the Southern California-based RSD compound gave me a firsthand look at the prototype Victory in various stages of completion. At first, all I saw as a set of Dunlop tires supported by wood blocks bookending a non-discrete Victory V-twin motor propped up on a jack. Little more than a month ago, what I saw on the lift was not much more than a tubular frame wrapped around a mock prototype engine fitted with a plastic rapid proto top-end. While the frame welds were art and the Öhlins race suspension and Ducati 899 Panigale swingarm/linkage looked trick, I could only imagine many late nights ahead.

Patience, however, pays dividends. Several men put in countless hours of overtime on Victory’s engine dyno, and the sparks were flying at RSD. My role is simple but hugely important: twisting the throttle with full faith in the skill of those behind the engine and chassis, which, Lord willing, will carry me safely to the 14,115-foot summit. I’m losing sleep because of my burning desire to post a result that satisfies the investment and effort of all involved.



A couple weeks back, the rubber met the road at our initial test of Project 156, which was conducted at Buttonwillow Raceway Park in Southern California. An opportunity to experience the bike on a closed circuit prior to taking on the most unforgiving road course in North America was of utmost importance. As it turned out, the planned two-day test turned into an intense single day shakedown due to some late challenges. My personal favorite? Our discovery that the engine, with 15:1 compression, won the arm wrestling match with the bump starting block.

Desperate times call for high voltage! The starter motor was installed with a pigtail connecter, which during the start procedure is coupled to a pair of car batteries wired in series. As a fan of military aviation, I can fly with it. “Chief, turn on the ground power!”

Overall, the test went well. The chassis offered the stability I had hoped for given the brutal frost heaves we will encounter in the upper third of the 12.42–mile climb up Pikes Peak. The Brembo brakes performed as expected and the Öhlins suspension was in the ballpark. Further tuning suggestions were provided by John “Corndog” Cornwell, an Öhlins race tech. As for the prototype Victory V-twin, it produces a mountain of torque across a great divide that should make my work a bit easier at high elevation.



Our team will kick off this weekend’s first test on Pikes Peak with a fuel-map calibration on a dyno at Sangers Cycles in Fort Collins, Colorado. My hopes are high for reasonably crisp response in the thin air on Pikes. Another concern is the road condition itself. A bulletin issued by the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb organizers said that “an unprecedented amount of snow and rain” has fallen in the last month, and that there are still “large amounts of snow on Pikes Peak.” Translation: We’ll have snowmelt runoff that results in wet patches and water crossings, even possible ice patches at upper elevation!

Consequently, Dunlop has shipped a few sets of full wets to round out our tire selection, which also includes GPA Pros and Qualifier Q3s. In racing, there are always unknowns you try to prepare for. For me, the PPIHC is much less of a mystery than it was a year ago when I raced there as a rookie. I say that with certain reservation however, as those in the know are quick to remind us that the Mountain has many tricks hidden up her sleeve. Nevertheless, I look forward to returning to the clouds on the Victory Racing/RSD Project 156 racer, and I’m comforted by the fact that the same Spider Grips/AF1 Racing crew that helped me earn a podium finish last year will be at my side.

Honda RC213V-S to sell for $244,000

• Honda RC213V-S to sell for $244,000

Honda RC213V-S – A MotoGP machine for the road
212+ horsepower, 170kg (160kg with kit) Honda RC213V-S to sell for $244,000 – Orders taken from July 13, 2015
Honda’s RC213V is a machine exclusively for racing that has won consecutive championships in the MotoGP class of the FIM Road Racing World Championship Grand Prix in 2013 and 2014. Honda has made changes to some of the specifications of the RC213V to introduce a road going model dubbed the Honda RC213V-S.


Honda RC213V-S

In 1954, Honda declared its intention of participating in the Isle of Man TT races, which were a part of the Road Racing World Championship Grand Prix at the time. Honda developed its own racing vehicles and in 1959, five years after the declaration, started competing in the Isle of Man TT races. In 1961, Honda successfully won the TT race championships in the two classes it entered. The total number of cumulative racing victories for Honda reached an unprecedented 600 wins in 2005, which rose to a cumulative 695 victories as of June 11, 2015. Since the Isle of Man TT races, Honda has positioned its racing activities in a wide variety of races as its “laboratory on wheels,” and has incorporated the feedback from the wide-ranging technologies developed for competition in these races into its commercially available production models, relying on these technologies as a way to help maintain and evolve the excellent performance and reliability of Honda motorcycles.


Honda RC166 as ridden by Mike Hailwood

The new RC213V-S is not merely the result of a feedback of technologies created by Honda through its competition in races into a commercially available model, but rather represents a wholly new endeavor to make it possible for a machine developed for competition in MotoGP races to run on public roads. Honda has a principle that the fastest machine in the world as easy to ride as possible. Ever since competing in the Isle of Man TT races, Honda has consistently developed machines exclusively for racing toward the goal of creating the world’s easiest machine to handle based on this Honda principle, racking up victory after victory in races along the way.

The RC213V-S has been developed according to this Honda principle, making it possible for the RC213V, which has won MotoGP championships for two seasons in a row in 2013 and 2014, to run on public roads. The RC213V-S has inherited the specifications of the RC213V to thoroughly ensure mass concentration and reduced friction, as well as all key aspects in manufacturing that set the RC213V apart as a MotoGP machine from ordinary mass production models, with overwhelming differences which involve light weight and precise machining of the components, plus superior expert skills required in manufacturing.


Honda RC213V-S

In addition, the RC213V-S is equipped with control technologies used on the RC213V. The RC213V consists only of the necessary parts for winning races, based on the idea of changing specifications as necessary according to the rider and course. To achieve the specifications that make the RC213V-S eligible to run on public roads, the minimal amount of necessary changes and additions has been made compared to the RC213V.


Honda RC213V-S

For the RC213V-S, a machine for public roads, the regions with sales planned are Europe, the U.S., Australia and Japan. The manufacturer’s recommended price for Australia has been set at $244,000. This compares to €188,000 in Europe, ¥21,900,000 in Japan and $184,000 in the U.S. The RC213V-S will be sold from Honda directly after a customer qualifying process and built to order with a lead time of 6 to 12 months. Various options will be made available at time of order with a full race specification machine to come in at around $400,000 fully optioned up.

Servicing for Australian customers will be undertaken by Honda Australia’s race team partner, Motologic.

For purchase of an RC213V-S, applications for order entry will be accepted around the world starting 0:00 (CET) on July 13, through the order entry form on the website (www.rc213v-s.com).

As the purpose of development of the RS213V-S, rather than trying to replicate the dynamic performance of the RC213V, the focus of the development approach was on recreating as much as possible the complete vehicle packaging of the RC213V and its riding feel. To enable riding in speed ranges that approach the world of the RC213V, an optional sports kit is available exclusively for riding only on closed courses such as racing circuits.


Honda RC213V-S

In this way, the RC213V-S makes it possible to experience the riding feel of the RC213V on public roads, while also enabling riding at a higher level on closed circuits.

The RC213V consists only of the necessary parts for winning races, based on the idea of changing specifications according to the rider and course. But given the premise of riding on public roads for the RC213V-S, minimum possible changes and additions have been made to the RC213V as requirements for running on public roads, while inheriting all other elements of the RC213V.


Honda RC213V-S

Main changes and additions to the RC213V-S in comparison with the RC213V [Changes made for maintenance aspects]
・ While inheriting the camshaft gear train structure, a switch was made for the pneumatic valve to a coil spring system.

・ The seamless transmission was changed to a conventional system. – * For the changes above, the same specifications as those for the RCV1000R, an open category racing machine sold on the market, were adopted.

John McGuinness wins Senior TT
PokerStars Senior TT 2015
John McGuinness took his 23rd TT victory and shattered Bruce Anstey’s outright lap record from last year’s Superbike race with a sensational speed of 132.701mph as he came home 14.2s clear of James Hillier in the PokerStars Senior race with Ian Hutchinson in third. The victory came after the original race was red flagged on the second lap and a shortened four lap race was restarted at 2.45pm.


The victory is John McGuinness’s 23rd TT win and his seventh in the Senior TT.

John McGuinness – “Today was a new day. I’ve been struggling a little this week, which is no-one’s fault. I have been slow off the line and losing a bit of time, and I needed to find the form I had a few years ago.

“In the restart I didn’t want James Hillier to catch me, so off the start I gave it my all, got my head down and pushed as hard as I could. Lap two I really did give it everything I could and the reaction coming in to the pits was amazing – it felt like it did when I broke the first 130mph lap. My team got me through the pits perfectly and going into the third lap the reaction from the crowd was great and I did think I’d taken the outright lap record.

“I’d like to say a huge thanks to the marshals and the medics out there around the course, who do a fantastic job, and of course to my team and Honda for believing that it was still possible. Riding round the Isle of Man with a 17-second lead felt pretty special!”

Neil Tuxworth – Honda Racing Manager – “What a great day for John, the team and of course Honda to win what I suppose is the most iconic race of the week, the Senior TT. John rode superbly and, as I told him, he’s still the man who holds the race record round here on that bike and I knew he had the ability to win the race if he set his mind to it. It was obvious he was in the right mindset today. On lap one when he got to Glen Helen we knew he was fighting for a win and I’m just so pleased for him. He’s been a bit down on himself this week and lost a bit of confidence, which he didn’t need to do, as he’s very strong, along with the CBR and the team. Our lads did an excellent job in the pits and pulled about 10-seconds back. We’re so pleased it was a superb performance and we’re over the moon for him.”


During the epic race, the ‘Morecambe Missile’ broke the outright Senior TT lap record with a 132.701mph lap and was just a fraction off a sub 17-minute lap

McGuinness had took the lead from Hillier at the Bungalow on the opening lap and when Hutchinson made a mistake at Signpost Corner just before the solitary pit stop, he was able to pull away for his seventh Senior race victory.


James Hillier had a great TT 2015 campaign

At Glen Helen first time around, Hillier was again in the lead but it was close with McGuinness only eight tenths behind and Hutchinson just a tenth adrift of the Honda rider. Anstey was holding onto fourth ahead of Johnson and Dunlop but Martin had a really poor start and was way down in 13th place.


Guy Martin suffered from a poor start in the Senior TT before clawing his way up to fourth place, 8-seconds off the podium

By Ramsey, Hillier still led but his advantage was down to six tenths of a second and it was now McGuinness in second with Hutchinson down to third, four tenths further back. Anstey was in fourth with two seconds covering the leading four with Dunlop now in fifth and Hickman sixth.


An opening lap of 131.850mph – the fastest ever from a standing start – gave John McGuinness a 1.2s lead over Ian Hutchinson

An opening lap of 131.850mph – the fastest ever from a standing start – gave McGuinness a 1.2s lead over Hutchinson with Hillier back to third, a further 1.8s back. Anstey, Dunlop and Hickman filled out the top six, the latter having posted his first ever 130mph+ lap, with Martin getting going in seventh.

McGuinness added half a second to his lead as they swept through Glen Helen for the second time with the top five remaining the same although Martin had moved up to sixth ahead of Hickman. The lead was back up to 1.9s at Ramsey although Martin was now up to fourth, tucking in behind Hutchinson on the road.


Ian Hutchinson tasted much success at the 2015 TT but in the premier Senior TT Hutchy had to settle for third with a blown out exhaust on the PBM Kawasaki

A stunning, new outright lap record of 132.701mph gave McGuinness the lead and the gap had shot up to 10.9s as Hutchinson overshot at Signpost. Hillier remained in third but he was only 0.6s ahead of Martin as the Tyco BMW rider also broke the old outright lap record with a lap of 132.398mph. Anstey was now in fifth and Dunlop sixth and in an astonishing lap, the first 11 riders all lapped at more than 130mph.


Peter Hickman and David Johnson tussled on the road, Hickman eventually finishing ninth while David Johnson finished ninth, but along the way became the fastest ever Australian at the TT with a 131.595mph lap

The order remained the same at Glen Helen on lap three and McGuinness had added almost a second and a half to his lead. Hutchinson, in turn, was over five seconds clear of Hillier who had also edged away from Martin also to the tune of five seconds but Dunlop was slipping back and was now in eighth.

The Morecambe Missile added another second on the run to Ramsey and as he started his final lap around the Mountain Course, his advantage over Hutchinson was an impressive 17.5s. Hillier was a further 6.6s in arrears and he was coming under serious pressure from Martin once more with the difference between the duo now just 2.5s.

Team Suzuki Ecstar claim a sensational qualifying 1-2 as local hero Aleix Espargaro secured pole ahead of Maverick Viñales with a lap record-breaking performance

In almost perfect conditions, with track temperatures soaring to a high of 42 degrees Celsius, Aleix Espargaro claimed the first pole position for Suzuki since Australian Chris Vermeulen topped qualifying at Assen in 2007.

The Spaniard smashed Dani Pedrosa’s 2013 lap record (1’40.893) by over 0.3s as he set a 1’40.546 around the 4.7km Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya to claim his second MotoGP pole. It got even better for Suzuki and the all-new GSX-RR as teammate Maverick Viñales was just 0.083s slower in second, completing a dream result for the Japanese manufacturer in its first season back in the premier class since 2011.


Team SUZUKI ECSTAR grabbed a historic result today during qualifying for the Grand Prix of Catalunya as they took first-and second places on the grid for tomorrow’s race with riders Aleix Espargaro and Maverick Viñales.

Aleix Espargaro P1 – “I’m very happy because making the Pole Position here in front of our own people is spectacular. It’s also good for Suzuki as they are working very hard and are consistently improving and supporting us, so to have two riders at the front of the grid is very rewarding. Once again we must keep in mind that it’s only Saturday and things are much-more important tomorrow. We need to stay with the front riders and to fight for the podium would be a dream, so we’ll see if we are capable of it. We have a good pace; in FP4 I ran many laps with a used hard tyre and my feeling with it was good.”

Maverick Viñales P2 – “It was amazing: We did a really great job both in the first free practice sessions and now in qualifying. Being on the front row means that our work is going smoothly and also that Suzuki is doing a good job. Today was perfect; this morning I was first and then in the second session, well honestly, I believed also that the Pole was possible for me but finally Aleix was faster by such a small amount, but I know this is also a very special event for him too, so I must be happy to be right behind him. I’m quite confident for tomorrow, my pace is pretty good; and I believe we can do a great race. Of course I will do my best to fight with the front riders and hopefully I will have many chances to make overtakes and enjoy a satisfying race with my GSX-RR.”

CWM LCR Honda rider rebounds from recent non-finishes.


Source: LCR.

Townsville’s Jack Miller secured the best result of his MotoGP career so far as he took 11th place in the Grand Prix of Catalunya to bring home five points for CWM LCR Honda.

The Australian rookie had got a decent start from 21st position on the grid, riding with some experienced runners. At one point he made it as high as 10th place, but was bumped back a position in the closing laps by Alvaro Bautista.

With testing to come tomorrow, Miller can use this positive result to full effect before heading to the Dutch TT in Assen, in just over a week’s time.

“We struggled over the weekend and really had to work hard during today’s race,” Miller commented. “We got a good start and we were in amongst a good group. I really got stuck in and settled into a rhythm, although I did have a few moments because it was slippery out there.

“I am really happy to bring the bike home after two races of not finishing. It’s good to put some more points on the board, but we are still learning all the time on the bike – I still need more laps on it and crashing out of the race is not the way forward.

“More than anything now I’m looking forward to our test tomorrow and putting some time in on the bike and working on our base set-up so we can be better prepared for the races coming up.”

Miller has now climbed to 18th in the world championship standings, scoring 11 points across the first seven races of his premier class career.
