Lorenzo focused on podium stay

Wednesday, 01 September 2010
The Championship leader’s goal is further consolidation of his advantage in the standings at Misano, as he bids to maintain his record of having stood on the podium in every race this season.

Misano presents a new challenge for Jorge Lorenzo as the Fiat Yamaha rider takes his 68-point Championship lead to the Gran Premio Aperol di San Marino e della Riviera di Rimini and a circuit on which he has twice finished second in the premier class.
The Spaniard comes into the 12th round of the 2010 campaign having placed outside the top two for the first time this season in the previous race at Indianapolis. Third place can hardly be considered a drop in standards however and the result maintained the 23 year-old’s comfortable lead at the summit of the standings.
In Misano Lorenzo faces a track on which he has a solid personal record. In the three races he has ridden there he has been on the podium each time; a 250cc win in 2007 and second in the premier class in the precious two seasons the results that mark a confidence-inspiring affinity with the San Marinese venue.
This weekend Lorenzo will aim to maintain his 100% podium record in 2010 as he aims to further protect his advantage, and he said: "We are going straight to Misano and I want to continue in the same way and get on the podium again. I've been second there for the last two years and I am feeling very motivated and looking forward to another good race.”
After a particularly draining weekend in the heat at Indy Lorenzo is hoping for kinder conditions. “I hope the temperature is a bit cooler than in Indy because it was really too hot there,” he said. “Last Sunday was my worst result this year, but I am still happy because it was still third and because it was very important for our goal, which is the Championship."

Misano honours Peter Lenz

Sunday, 05 September 2010
A minute’s silence was held before the 125cc race in memory of the young American rider who passed away last Sunday at Indianapolis.

A minute-long silence was observed at the Misano circuit on Sunday morning before the 125cc race in tribute to Peter Lenz, the 13 year-old American rider who tragically passed away last weekend at Indianapolis.
Lenz succumbed to injuries sustained in a crash during the warm up lap of the USGPRU MD250H race at the Red Bull Indianapolis GP last Sunday, and this morning at Misano he was honoured with the silence as riders and officials gathered in front of the starting grid to pay tribute.
Amongst those who paid their respects were MotoGP rider Colin Edwards, a personal friend of Peter Lenz and who was particularly affected by the youngster’s death last weekend.

Redding and De Angelis escape serious injury

Monday, 06 September 2010
Both riders were involved in the crash in Sunday’s Moto2 race at Misano, which resulted in fatal injuries to Shoya Tomizawa.

British youngster Scott Redding and San Marino native Alex de Angelis both escaped serious injury at Misano on Sunday when they were involved in the Moto2 crash that resulted in Shoya Tomizawa’s tragic death.
The trio of riders fell on the 12th lap of the intermediate category race and with all travelling at high speed both De Angelis and Redding were unable to avoid Tomizawa, whose resulting injuries sadly later claimed his life in hospital.
Seventeen year-old Redding received immediate treatment at the circuit medical centre, where he was administered ten stitches to a laceration on his back.
"Scott's crash was a big one, so we are thankful that the only injury he sustained was a minor laceration on his back,” said Redding’s Marc VDS Racing Team Manager Michael Bartholemy.
“We were deeply saddened by the news that Shoya Tomizawa succumbed to the injuries sustained in a crash during the Moto2 race. He was a respected rival and will be sorely missed in the paddock. Like everyone in the Marc VDS Racing Team, my thoughts are with his family and friends at this time."
De Angelis was the only rider to walk away from the crash unharmed but like Redding was left shocked and saddened by the news of Tomizawa’s death.
“I am deeply sad for what happened to Shoya. I am close to his family and to all who loved him,” said De Angelis. "For the time being I do not want to add anything else. In times like these, everything else becomes less important.”

Freddie Spencer (born December 20, 1961), known by the nickname Fast Freddie, is an American former World Champion motorcycle racer. Spencer is regarded as one of the greatest motorcycle racers of the early 1980s.

Biography

Spencer was born in Shreveport, Louisiana. He was a racing prodigy who began racing at the age of four, competing in dirt track events near his hometown of Shreveport.
Racing history

After winning the 1978 250cc U.S. National Road Racing Championship, American Honda signed Spencer to ride for their Superbike team. He gained international prominence at the 1980 U.S. versus Britain Trans-Atlantic Match races when he won two legs, defeating World Champions Kenny Roberts and Barry Sheene in the process. In 1981, he split his time between the AMA Superbike series, and the European Grand Prix circuit, helping Honda develop the exotic, oval-cylindered NR500 four-stroke Grand Prix bike.

By 1982, he had been promoted full time to Honda's Grand Prix team, who by then had given up on the NR500 and developed the NS500 three cylinder, two-stroke. In 1983, Spencer won his first 500cc World Championship, becoming the youngest person to win the title. The 1983 season would be remembered as one of the most dramatic title chases in the history of Grand Prix racing; Honda's Spencer and Yamaha's Kenny Roberts fought back and forth for the points lead with each of them earning six victories. The season culminated at the penultimate round in Sweden when the two riders collided on the last lap. Roberts ran off the track leaving Spencer to sprint to the finish line and victory. Roberts won the last race but Spencer finished second, securing his first world title by two points.

In 1984 , Honda developed a radically new V4 NSR500 that featured the fuel tank under the engine and the expansion chambers under a false tank above the engine. Teething problems and injuries from crashes hindered Spencer's defense of his crown and he was relegated to fourth place in the championship. In spite of this, he still managed to win 3 times with the NSR500, and twice more on the NS500 three cylinder machine.

1985 proved to be an historic year for Spencer. He began the season by winning the prestigious season opening Daytona 200, including the 250cc and Superbike classes, making him the only rider to win all three divisions in a single year. Spencer also competed in both the 250cc and 500cc Grand Prix World Championships, winning both titles in the same year. That made him the fifth (& last) rider ever to win in the 500cc & the next class down and, due to class changes, the only rider to win in both 500cc & 250cc in one year. His career was cut short by wrist injuries that some believe were caused by the physical strain of competing in two championships during a single season. After his historic 1985 season, Spencer never won another Grand Prix race. He retired from Grand Prix racing at the beginning of 1988, although there were a couple of abortive GP comeback attempts, in 1989 and 1993. He returned to race in the AMA Superbike Championship in the 1990s, winning three races. He was eighth in 1991, riding a Honda for Two Brothers Racing, and went one better in 1992. In 1995 he raced a Fast By Ferracci Ducati to ninth, and at the end of the year took over the works Ducati from Mauro Lucchiari in Superbike World Championship.

Spencer raced under several different marques during his racing career, winning his first Superbike National Championship race aboard a Kawasaki, but he is most closely associated with Honda and his partnership with Grand Prix tuner, Erv Kanemoto. He won all three of his world titles on Hondas with Kanemoto as head mechanic. Spencer had a short stint with the Agostini Yamaha team and ended his career on a Ducati in the U.S. National Championship.

Spencer now lives in Las Vegas, Nevada, where he operated a motorcycle riding school at least until October 2008, when financial difficulties led to the school ceasing operations.

Valencia Test For 2011 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R

Newsflash, 16 September 2010
The next step in the evolution of the Kawasaki Racing Team’s 2011 machine took place at high speed in Valencia this week, with impressive times being set by Tom Sykes and Katsuaki Fujiwara.

The Spanish track offered good conditions for the test, but high afternoon temperatures made it hard - if ultimately rewarding - work. Despite the heat and busy schedule the new Ninja ZX-10R machinery ran faultlessly throughout. Fujiwara’s test bike had only recently arrived from KHI in Japan, to give the team two machines to work with from now on.
On the second day lap times fell to the mid 1’34s on fresh race tyres. Real world pace is already in the mid 1’35s after race simulations were carried out.
Effective new geometry and Showa suspension settings were found in what was only the second European test for the new bike, which is still very much at the start of its final development programme.
The next test will be the first public one for the new Ninja ZX-10R, to be held at Magny-Cours, after the final race of the current season.

Tom Sykes: “A very positive test for us overall. It is very early days but I think we have already achieved quite a lot. Knowing where we are at now, and where we can eventually arrive at, there is still big potential there. So to be where we are now, in such good shape, is an extremely nice starting point.”

Paul Risbridger, Team Manager: “With the delivery of our second 2011 spec Ninja ZX-10R at Valencia we were able to plan a very full programme for the two days of testing. On the back of a great result in Nürburgring, our baseline runs with the 2010 racebike at Valencia showed immediately the progress we have made with the current Ninja but by the end of the first day we felt we had already made real progress on the new 2011 bike. The team tested several geometry options and worked on the general chassis balance on what was our 2010 nominated test circuit. By mid-morning on day two we had achieved our target 1’34 second lap. The speed and consistency of the all new Ninja ZX-10R has given the team a real buzz, and whilst we have a lot of work ahead of us during the winter we feel we are currently right on schedule in our preparations.”

Changes provide rewards for pole man Stoner

Saturday, 18 September 2010
The Ducati rider and his crew made some modifications to his Desmosedici GP10 which contributed towards the achievement of pole position for Sunday’s Gran Premio A-Style de Aragón.

Aragon 2010 - MotoGP - QP - 2nd. Interview - Casey Stoner
A first pole position since the season-opening race in Qatar was the result of hard work and progressive changes to his bike for Casey Stoner and his Ducati Team crew at Aragón on Saturday, as the Australian qualified in pole position for Round 13.
Stoner has struggled with front end problems this season on his Desmosedici GP10 but in qualifying he set a blistering pace. The 24 year-old was the only rider under 1’49” at 0.309s quicker than closest rival Jorge Lorenzo, and explained that the modifications made to his machine had enabled him to feel more comfortable when pushing for faster lap times.
“We've been trying different things for the last few weekends to try and get the bike more competitive without making really big progress but it looks like we might have found something here,” said Stoner.
“We've changed the weight distribution a little bit and it has given me more grip and confidence. Maybe it's just the fact the bike suits this place but either way we've got to be happy to be back on pole for the first time since Qatar. I also like riding at new circuits – when you haven't already done a million laps around a place it's always refreshing.”
Far from becoming complacent Stoner knows that Sunday’s race will be the real test of the success of the improvements in the bike’s set-up, but he is feeling confident nevertheless.
“We have to wait and see how the race pans out and see if I can run with these guys because we've had a few false dawns already this season so we don't want to get ahead of ourselves, but we feel good in race trim and I'm looking forward to it,” he concluded.

Win a “big relief” for Stoner

Sunday, 19 September 2010
The Australian’s first victory of the season at Aragón on Sunday came in style as he held off the challenge of the in-form Dani Pedrosa.

Stoner delight at first win of season
Casey Stoner’s first victory of 2010 came from pole position on Sunday as the Ducati Team rider put together a strong race to win by over five seconds ahead of Dani Pedrosa.
The Australian dealt with pressure from Pedrosa throughout the first half of the race before eventually pulling away to win by a comfortable margin, and the taste of victory for the first time since Malaysia last season was a sweet one for Stoner.
“This win is a big relief, to be honest!” said Stoner, who last started from pole in the season opening race at Losail. “We had the first race in Qatar wrapped up until I made a mistake and their have been other opportunities to win this year that I have missed out on through my own errors.”
“We have had a lot of problems trying to find the final two or three tenths to run with Dani and Jorge this season but we changed the bike completely this weekend to adjust my position on it and got it working almost how we want it to.”
There was slight cause for concern for Stoner and his crew when he fell during the morning warm up session, but he responded excellently in the race.
“I had a little slip off in warm up this morning which was a worry going into the race,” he admitted. “I was staying away from every white line that I could over the first few laps but we were able to pick up the pace when we needed to and bring home a win. I want to thank the team, the factory and everybody who has stuck by me – I'm just sorry it took so long!”
With the result Stoner moved into third position in the Championship standings and team-mate Nicky Hayden’s third-placed finish delivered Ducati their first double podium since Australia 2007.

And if ya watched the race the front end looked fine.

Sykes Wins Superpole For Kawasaki!

WSBK, Imola, Italy, 25 September 2010
Tom Sykes was untouchable in the final Superpole session at Imola, taking his first career pole in WSBK racing and earning the first Superpole trophy for the Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R since 2007.

Sykes was well in the mix all through qualifying, in both dry and then wet conditions. Subtle changes to his machine for the third and final Superpole elimination session - allied to Tom’s great skill and cool headed approach - took him to the best possible starting position for Sunday’s 21-lap Superbike races.

Tom had been fifth in the first unofficial practice rankings, ninth in the first day’s qualifying session and was eighth in this afternoon’s unofficial practice period. He progressed through Superpole One and Two unscathed to add his name to an illustrious list of previous Superpole winners.

The last Kawasaki rider to take pole in WSB was Fonsi Nieto, at the Lausitzring in Germany, in 2007. Tom’s pre-race success today was Kawasaki’s 20th WSBK pole position.

Ian Lowry, who was standing in for the injured Chris Vermeulen once again, paid the price for a lack of experience at this most tricky of circuits. The changeable weather ensured he had no chance to improve on his day one qualifying position of 21st, putting him only one place out of Superpole qualification.

Tom Sykes: “We went into the session in wet conditions and in Superpole One I struggled with grip, came in early and then the boys turned the information I gave them into the best package we could have hoped for. We made some more changes in Superpole three and it was a case of now or never. It’s great to win Superpole for the first time. It is something extra to put on my CV and a good way to say a big thank you to both Kawasaki and the team. It is a good job we had one wet race at Brands Hatch in the BSB meeting we did earlier in the summer because we tried a few things in that race that clearly didn’t work. Because of that we knew exactly where we needed to be now. We still need to improve the bike in the wet, but once again we know which direction to go in. The boys in the team have got it all covered, so all I have to do is get on tomorrow and try my hardest.”

Ian Lowry: “Imola is a great track but I had never been here before. Most of the guys have been here testing for two days a couple of months ago. In the first session the balance of the bike wasn’t really right, because our Nürburgring settings didn’t really suit this track. We got it back a bit and made a lot of adjustments and improvements for today, but it was wet so I couldn’t make it into Superpole. The bike is not far away but this place is difficult to learn. It is enjoyable at the same time!”
