Karlos Čeka posle silnih peripetija ostao sa Dukatijem i Altea timom. http://www.asphaltandrubber.com/racing/carlos-checa-contract-althea-ducati-wbsk-2012/ Judžin Laverti se prilagođava na novu mašinu. Biće na fabričkoj Apriliji ali u PATA timu.

Kejsi je najbolji sa Benom.

Legenda superbajka Troj Korser se povukao iz aktivnog takmičenja.

Da sačekamo testove u Valensiji mada je i ovako jasno da pored ovakve kombinacije Honda-Kejsi teško da može nešto više da napravi sledeće godine.

JLo je pao na kraju warm-upa i otkinuo parče prsta. Ben se ne oseća dobro posle onog jučerašnjeg pada pri brzini od skoro 275km/h.

Nije uspeo da uđe u 107% ali se nadam da će ipak voziti trku.

Nekako sam iskopao ovo na netu. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sxhSLPBD5A

Rossi 'hopes Stoner is no stronger' on the 1000cc in 2012 http://www.bikesportnews.com/news-detail.cfm?newstitle=Rossi-hopes-Stoner-is-no-stronger-on-the-1000cc-in-2012&newsid=5862

Da ipak malo sačekamo motomatters David Emmett Interesting. RT @michaelguyMCN: Just spoke to Eugene Laverty and despite all the stories on the web he still hasn't signed a deal for 2012.

Suzuki MotoGP 2012 da ili ne? Strane 38-39-40-41 http://mag.gpweek.com/

Fantastična trka na kraju BSB sezone, fer i čista borba na točak.

Stoner je zbog čestih padova te 2006 dobio posprdni nadimak rolling-stoner, mada se videlo odmah da je brz. A Rosi je imao probleme jer Masao Furusava nije bio u timu. Dakle... Ago je pravu, 2006 i 2007 nema Furusave znači nema perfektnog motora, čim se vratio 2008 opet je sve bilo u redu. Masao Furusava odlazi u penziju - Rosi ide iz tima, slučajnost ili ne?

Evo malo istorije... Mike (9 world titles) and Ago (15 world titles) often rode two different class of bikes the same day. Practice on two classes, qualify on two classes and race on two classes the same day, and win both. Often they didn't even have enough time between races to change into new leathers. Big thing with Ago is that he never crashed seriously. Ago raced against Hailwood 3 years. 1965 (350cc & 500cc) - 1. Hailwood (MVA) 2. Ago (MVA) 1966 & 1967 > 350cc - 1. Hailwood (Honda) 2. Ago (MVA) ........................500cc - 1. Ago (MVA) 2. Hailwood (Honda) MVA je MV Agusta. "Mike the Bike" - Hailwood's unbelievable unachievement > 1978 at IOM after an 11 year long absences from motorcycling 38-year-old Hailwood performed a legendary comeback at the Isle of Man TT and won on Ducati 900SS?! Just imagine for instance Mike Doohan came back and won an as wild card at Phillip Island. Of Mike's ability Murray Waker (motorsport commentator) said this: "His versatility and skill were awe-inspiring. I've seen him at the same meeting win races on a left foot gear change 125cc two stroke, a right foot change 250cc twin, a 350cc single cylinder four stroke and a four cylinder works MV. I've seen him start at the back of the grid with an injured leg and a pusher to get him going and still beat a field of top world class riders. His fluid style was unmistakeable and supreme, irrespective of whether it was wet or dry and he did it all with nonchalant charm and modesty."

Ovim je verovatno i definitivno završena saradnja Dovija i Honde. Zanimljivo je da je Dejvid Emet (motomatters) tvitovao pre par dana - Ako je pametan otiće će u Tech 3. http://motomatters.com/news/2011/10/07/andrea_dovizioso_to_move_to_monster_tech.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+MotoGPMatters+%28MotoMatters%29

Radi se nešto po tom pitanju Sound generators will make electric and hybrid cars safer “People want cars to sound like cars.” WHEN cars run on electric power they not only save fuel and cut emissions but also run more quietly. Ordinarily, people might welcome quieter cars on the roads. However, as the use of hybrid and electric vehicles grows, a new concern is growing too: pedestrians and cyclists find it hard to hear them coming, especially when the cars are moving slowly through a busy town or manoeuvring in a car park. Some drivers say that when their cars are in electric mode people are more likely to step out in front of them. The solution, many now believe, is to fit electric and hybrid cars with external sound systems. ... http://www.economist.com/node/13606446

Tačno, ali ja bih dodao i jedini koji je imao potpunu podršku fabrike maskirane iza satelitskog tima. Sigurno nije slučajno da je Altea Dukati tim i u SS 1000 i u WSBK uzeo titule.

Čeka pomaže GP12 projekat http://motomatters.c...8MotoMatters%29 a BMW, Aprilija i Yamaha hoće da Dukatiju u WSBK nabace tj. vrate 6kg (prošle godine su im pravilima skinuli 6kg tj. u dva navrata po 3kg).

Paolo Ciabatti (WSBK race director): "If I was in the place of Race Direction at Laguna Seca in 2008, I would have given Rossi a ride through."

Naravski, drago mi zbog BMW-a. Andea Dosoli ide najverovatnije kao i tip zadužen za elektroniku koga vodi sa sobom još iz MGP, za mehaničare ne znam. E ovo malo teže dok je ovakvih Pireli pneumatika, Čeka i Dukati su jednostavno nepobedivi.

Jel to Korser ide u penziju? Trebalo bi da ostane u timu ali kao test vozač i BMW promoter.

Legendarna 500cc trka sa ostrva Filip 1989 god. - poznatija kao borba dva Vejna. Rejni o Gardneru Rainey: “Gardner ran into the back of me twice, and didn’t even notice. He was one of the sloppiest guys I ever raced – he reminded me of a bulldog on a bike. When he was on a good day, he could ride that thing right out of the saddle. He was a bit like Kevin, but more out of control. Not a thinking racer: he rode by the excitement of the crowd. If nobody was there I think he wouldn’t do much.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAvGAqvDczI 1 Eddie Lawson USA Team Rothmans/Kanemoto Honda Honda NSR 2 Wayne Gardner AUS Rothmans Honda/HRC Honda NSR 3 Wayne Rainey USA Team Lucky Strike Roberts Yamaha YZR 4 Christian Sarron FRA Team Gauloises Blondes Mobil 1 Yamaha YZR 5 Kevin Magee AUS Team Lucky Strike Roberts Yamaha YZR 9 Pier-Francesco Chili ITA HB Honda Gallina Team Honda NSR 12 Randy Mamola USA Cagiva Corse Cagiva C589 14 Michael Rudroff BRD HRK Motors Honda RS 19 Freddie Spencer USA Marlboro Yamaha Team Agostini Yamaha YZR 21 Tadahiko Taira JAP Tech-21/Team Yamaha Yamaha YZR 34 Kevin Schwantz USA Team Pepsi Suzuki Suzuki RGV 41 Juan López Mella ESP Club Moto Cross Pozuelo Honda RS

Vejn Gardner objašnjava šta se desilo Kejsiju CLOSE SHAVE A lot of people have already been asking me about what happened with Casey’s near miss, when that huge head-shake from his bike saw him run off into the gravel and nearly crash. While it’s not something you see often, the extremely sensitive nature of a MotoGP bike means that something like this is always on the cards. I’ve had the same thing happen to me when I was racing. It even caused me to crash on at least one occasion. It’s a pretty scary thing, let me tell you. It happens when the bike hits a bump or series of bumps in the track at very high speed. But that’s not the only contributing factor. Maybe your weight is distributed in a slightly different way to normal, and maybe the front wheel is aligned, for a split second, in a slightly different angle than normal when it hits the bump. It’s like when all the planets align to cause the prime conditions for the bike to become severely unsettled. The massive shake then causes the brake pads to get knocked back in the calipers, so when it comes time to grab the brake, nothing happens. That means you have to pump the brake lever hard again. But by now the pads have returned to their normal position and there’s a good chance you’ll go flying over the handlebars, or as in Casey’s case, have the back wheel jump violently off the road. As we all saw, he did an amazing job to save it. He also did an amazing job to put a very frightening incident behind him to finish third. I know he looked a bit disappointed at the end, but I reckon he should be extremely pleased with his save, as well as the fact he still leads the championship by a fair margin. At this level of racing, you can’t win ‘em all.
