MotoGP Ezpeleta If you do not run in Japan no substitution

Japanese Grand Prix calendar 2011

A stay at the Japanese Grand Prix calendar 2011 would have to run next weekend. Then we all know what a tragedy struck the island: the earth trembles, the sea that rises and then the disaster of the central Fukushima. The Grand Prize is not there, they all point to 2 October. A few days ago the news, even the voice, which the Japanese Grand Prix is ??likely to be canceled and that change will take place in another state and is already being done on behalf of Turkey. This is the situation so far when the words of Carmelo Ezpeleta seems to have settled the succession of rumors and denials.
The Japanese Grand Prix will take place and if for some reason can not be not be replaced. The statements issued by the President of Dorna La Gazzetta dello Sport seem to close the matter permanently.

“We are awaiting the decision of the local promoter, said.” However, if this year decided to abandon the race, there would be no replacement. They set a national competition for the month of July, this means that at that moment the track will again be usable. By then we should be sure of what we do. ”

The decision remains in the hands of the Japanese organization in a capacity Ezpeleta confident and had complete confidence: “If you say that you can go ahead with the race, I’m sure it will be because there is a level of safety of 1.000%. If the situation should be clear, I am sure it would be the first able to evaluate it in an appropriate manner, “he said.

Samples and engagements
Changing continent, the United States on ESPN networks in ‘The Magazine’ to be released in May, publish the ranking of highest paid athletes in the world. In Italy’s Valentino Rossi in the lead with 20.8 million dollars (about 14.3 million euro) beats even the players. All in all a figure “modest” compared to 32 million dollars of Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez, star of professional baseball in the U.S. and Philippine boxer Manny Pacquiao.

Aprilia Tuono V4 Street by Paris-Nord Moto

On paper the Aprilia Tuono V4 R is a monster, boasting the most horsepower in its class, and coming armed with a sophisticated electronics package to help hook-up the 162hp on the tarmac. While all the early ride reports are positive about the new true-blooded streetfighter, and we’re sure the slightly watered-down naked RSV4 would paint a silly grin on our face, it’s the headshot of this bike that makes us cringe just a little ...

Part of the interest of the first race of the MotoGP season relates to the class photos, where the riders come out first for the 125cc group shot, then Moto2, and last the MotoGP riders appear. The 125 riders are mainly kids, so there is a lot of joking around in high voices that haven’t dropped yet. Moto2 is a mix of young and not as young, but it’s still a large field so the ...

Kevin Schwantz explains why the MotoGP arrives in Texas

Following the news about the addition of the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, to the MotoGP calendar since the 2013 season, Kevin Schwantz MotoGP.com spoke with the contract that will take ten years for the World Championship in the state that gave origins.

The former World Champion, 500 (1993) has struggled recently in an attempt to hide his enthusiasm while discussing the new facility that will host the race, which is currently under construction, and whose ultimate realization is scheduled for mid-2012.
“Having followed the development of this system from the outset, I am sincerely delighted and I think we’ll have a better outcome,” said Schwantz. “From the perspective of a pilot, which is also basically my point of view, I think will be a great track, long, challenging yet safe. It will require great strength and ability to put the pilot in command of the race.”

Schwantz’s support was crucial for the development of a path as possible suitable for motorcycle racing. In fact, he continued: “One of my closest friends here in Texas, Tavo Hellmund, is the one who set up the whole project. It is also one of three owners of the structure and in the early stages when they discussed the type of circuit, there was talk of F1 but from the point of view of safety we make sure we do nothing that would prevent us one day to bring the bikes here. ”
“When I started the design phase, I was able to attend in person. I do not work on the project every day, but I’ve taken part in some meetings with the boys of the group to make sure of the presence of escape routes for increased safety of the bikes” .
According Schwantz, the vision adopted in favor of a possible GP, provided an opportunity to the United States to increase its prestige in the circle MotoGP.

“As riders we also know how people can be excited to watch motorcycle racing. Our goal is to create an event that everyone wants to attend and that no one wants to miss. From a logistical point of view, the circuit Dister less than 10 miles from the capital, the airport midway between the city and the track. were also created many other things especially designed for the fans and to offer them an experience as rewarding as possible. ”

The work of promoting Schwantz will continue until the beginning of the season 2013. “I will do exactly as I did in the past with Laguna Seca and Indianapolis. If there be need of me while everyone else will be busy organizing the MotoGP, I’ll be happy to contribute,” he said.
“What I do is try to give our sport the recognition it deserves. At Laguna Seca we are Wayne Rainey, Eddie Lawson and all the other guys, and I give them a hand when needed, which will surely they, too, here in Texas. ”

“Having only 20 minutes from my school, a facility dedicated to world-class motorcycle racing, will be perfect,” he added. “From the beginning I had a clear idea of ??what would be the end result, and we have two things like that are very close here in Texas will be crucial.”

2011 WSBK Assen Sunday Roundup - Of Heartstopping Spectacle, And Champions

Assen always provides spectacle, whatever the classes are racing here, but today, there was perhaps a little too much of a good thing. The World Supersport race saw two horrific-looking crashes, and required two restarts before the race finally got done. The crashes were truly gut-wrenching, the kind of incident that makes you fear another Shoya Tomizawa or Craig Jones, but amazingly, everyone came away relatively unscathed.

The first crash was doubly disconcerting, involving Sam Lowes of the Parkalgar Honda team. It was the same team that Craig Jones was riding for when he died in a crash at Brands Hatch. The Parkalgar team boss Simon Buckmaster has an uncanny ability to spot young talent, Lowes just the latest in a line of promising riders, and seeing Lowes tumbling end-over-end through the gravel after an inexplicable highside was a sickening sight.

But medics responded immediately and effectively, and Lowes was quickly conscious again. The young Englishman suffered a concussion and a broken collarbone, and the whole paddock breathed a collective sigh of relief when World Superbike press officer Julian Thomas passed on the news that Lowes was OK.
