By Davide Tardozzi

So the 2009 World SBK season is over.

We’ve won the constructors title, the Superstock 1000 category, have obtained 34 podiums with our Superbike riders and second and third place in the world championship. But it’s not enough and we go without the “cherry on the cake”. We believed that we could do it all year and until the last lap of the last race but unfortunately the rider’s title has escaped us.

I want to thanks, however, all the members of the team and those people at home who assist us day to day. Noriyuki and Michel have provided us with an emotional season and an hour after the end of the championship they were already looking ahead to this week’s test days, here at Portimao, in order to be even more competitive next year, to win a title that we lost by just a few points this time around.

At this point I would also like to address some comments that we have heard since the final race…. (more…)

Stoner claims Sepang

October 25, 2009 · 1 Comment

Sepang

And Rossi claims the 2009 world title…

On the other hand i truly believe that Stoner absences from the previous races made the job very easy to the Doctor, in the last 2 races Stoner was performing like never before…it was as if he was on a bike from a different class, the gap between him and rest of the racers was huge..and no one could get close to him.

Becuase of the rain, the race today did not have much action… hope the last race of the season be much more intresting.

A classic fight

StonerRossi

Today’s race at Phillip Island was a classic, Stoner was in top physical condition giving the spectates a show to remember with his high speed slides, Rossi was trying every trick in the book to bypass him but the Australian was too fast and maintained the lead all the way to the checker flag.

Lorenzo crashed out at turn one of the first lap after touching Nicky Hayden bike, he was lucky to escape the crash with only a small injury to his pinky.

The Flying Donkey

Rossi_podium

Dani Pedrosa gave us the usual bullet start today at Misano, but unfortntly he couldn’t maintain the lead because of Rossi’s pressure and some technical problems with his Honda engine -he said its misfiring-.

This is when Rossi came for revenge and he led the race all the way to the flag, even Lorinzo could not come near, Rossi had a new helmet today with a Donkey face on it….in italy -just like in the Arab world – if someone makes a mistake they call him a donkey, and after the mistake Rossi did last week which costed him the race he earned name was called a donkey but he decided to show everyone that this donkey can fly!!!

A 100 win

June 27, 2009 · 4 Comments

ROSSI100

Today Valantino Rossi made his 100 win in the MotoGP,  with this win Rossi became the second rider in the MotoGP history to score a 100 win after Giacomo Agostini who is considered the greatest MotoGP rider of all time -122 win-.

After the win, Rossi went to greet his fans and they surprised him with a huge banner with photos of Rossi’s 100 wins.

The first couple of laps of the race gave the impression that this is going to be an entertaining race but after Pedrosa fell and Stoner went back to third place, Rossi was only racing himself and beating his own lap times lap after the other.

This was probably the best race action i ever seen…the battle was vicious, fierce, brutal, you name it…it was a race between the two Yamaha team mates as if they were the only 2 racers on the Spanish circuit.

If you missed this race then you better try find a recording of it, and watch it.

Stoner break’s the rule

June 1, 2009 · 2 Comments

stoner

Mugello is the track where Ducati test and develop their MotoGP bikes, until yesterday the track was dominated by Valentino Rossi since he was a Honda rider, but Stoner finally broke the rule of an Italian rider winning on Italian soil.

The track was wet and the race needed time management on when to change tires, Stoner, Rossi, and Lorernzo went into the bit at the same time….it was as if Rossi, and Lorernzo were waiting for Stoner to make the move.

Lorenzo crashed at the warm up lap but continued the race and finished third, Rossi came in second.

Pedrosa crashed out on lap 14 and was stretchered out, we just have to wait and see if he is fit to race at Barcelona-his home town- in two weeks.

Another double win for Spies

June 1, 2009 · 7 Comments

Spies

Spies powered away from the start, and the rest of the racers had to just try keeping up, Fabrizio managed to keep Spies on his toe for most of the race, but then had to settle for third in race one and second in race two…at the end of the day this is a US track which Spies knows very well and competed on for the American Superbike championship.

Ducati is still leading the championship -7 rounds to go-, with 311 points, Yamaha 253, Honda 206, Aprilia 129, Suzuki 113, Bmw 60, and Kawasaki 41 points.
