Valentino Rossi rejects new Yamaha chassis

Matthew Birt, 07 May 2013 08:51

Valentino Rossi will continue to race the ‘standard’ factory Yamaha YZR-M1 frame he’s used in the opening three rounds of 2013 after failing to find any benefit from a new chassis he tested in Jerez yesterday (Monday). Rossi tested the latest spec 2013 frame during a weather-hit final pre-season test in Jerez in late March, and opted to start the ...

Scott Redding satisfied with safe second in Jerez

Matthew Birt, 06 May 2013 09:20

Scott Redding’s impressive early season Moto2 title challenge continued in Jerez yesterday when the British rider rode to a measured second place finish. The Marc VDS Racing rider quickly realised he was unable to match the pace of Spaniard Esteve (Tito) Rabat, but with Pol Espargaro and Takaaki Nakagami not capable of running his speed, Redding was able to settle ...

Bradley Smith continues steep learning curve in Jerez

Matthew Birt, 03 May 2013 18:49

Bradley Smith’s rookie MotoGP campaign continues to be a baptism of fire after the British rider ended the opening day of practice in Jerez today in 14th position. The Monster Yamaha Tech 3 rider was a lowly 17th in this morning’s FP1 session but he was able to improve by almost a second in hotter conditions during FP2 to move ...

Lowes takes dramatic Superpole win in Assen

Steve Hunt, 28 April 2013 13:10

Sam Lowes - after the horrendous problems at Aragon in the last round - started this World Supersport race in pole position and desperate to make up the Supersport championship points here at Assen. It was a solid run from the lights by Lowes, but Sofuoglu made an even better one and dangled his familiar foot at the second corner in front ...

WSBK Race One: Sykes storms to race one win in Assen

Steve Hunt, 28 April 2013 12:00

It was a morning of contrasts for British riders, with Chad Davies having a spill in the earlier warm-up session for race one, leaving his S1000RR minus pieces of fairing, requiring a few adjustments to make it race worthy and leaving him beginning the warm-up lap from the pit lane. This wasn’t the start that he would have wanted, having ...

Iddon Second After first WSS Qualifying

Gordon Ritchie, 26 April 2013 16:13

Christian Iddon made good use of his three-cylinder MV Agusta F3 675 in a fully wet first qualifying session at Assen, going second fastest overall and only held back from the status of provisional pole sitter by a late charge from Andrea Antonelli on a Goeleven Kawasaki. Mathew Scholtz (Suriano Racing Suzuki) pushed on in the wet to go third, ...

Assen too tough to call for Rea

Gordon Ritchie, 26 April 2013 10:34

With four wins in the last three years at Assen, Jonathan Rea and his Pata Honda have been the WSB benchmark at the Dutch track. But heading into this year’s race at the weekend, Rea’s sense of anticipation for success has been muted by the epically frustrating start he has had to the 2013 season. A fourth at Aragon was ...

Michael Guy, 26 April 2013 08:56

Leon Camier will be out on track this morning in the opening Free Practice session at Assen after being declared fit to ride. The Fixi Crescent Suzuki rider suffered a serious knee in the Aragon WSB first qualifying session two weeks ago and underwent surgery to repair a deep cut that required internal stitches. Doctors at the onsite Clinica Mobile will ...

Underdog Brits shine at Bol d'Or

Simon Patterson, 24 April 2013 10:10

The Bol d’Or 24 hour race this weekend was one for the underdogs as far as British success was concerned; with both Steve Mercer and Michael Rutter coming from nowhere to achieve excellent finishes. Mercer, originally marked down as the reserve rider for his Penz13.com BMW team, out-qualified his teammate Hayato Takada by almost two seconds and was bumped up ...

MotoGP remembers Daijiro Kato

Matthew Birt, 24 April 2013 09:50

Last weekend’s inaugural MotoGP race at the Circuit of the Americas (COTA) marked the 10th anniversary of the death of Japanese rider Daijiro Kato. Kato lost his life in an accident in the opening round of the 2003 world championship at Suzuka when riding for the Italian-based Gresini Honda squad. All Gresini bikes in all three classes at COTA sported ...
