Appointment for the departure of Red Bull Indianapolis Grand Prix tomorrow at 21:00 hours on Italia 1.
In two days by Red Bull Indinapolis Grand Prix, the market pilots increases doubts and confirmations. The most insistent voices concern Ducati with the news of the pending passage of Nicky Hayden and Kawasaki with the "safe" purchase of our Italian Marco Melandri.
In terms of Panigale offer the news now seems to sgoccioli, confirms in a press conference, the same Hayden:
"It will be a big change for me, and the announcement will take place shortly. In any case there are still 5 races.'m A lot of races. I had a great history with Honda and I won in AMA and MotoGP. 'The time to go further and try something different "
The place left free in HRC could be occupied by the endless talent of Andrea Dovizioso. On still nothing for granted ...
News Journal: De Angelis renews for 2009 with the Team Gresini.
It expects instead of the official passage of Marco Melandri on the green Kawasaki. Fate certainly too little for the AMA champion Ben Spies. The latter could go to Suzuki instead dell'australiano Chris Vermeulen.
A news shocks could hide in monogomma Bridgestone for the next season. Eye to mark the Japanese! Attentive to the French Michelin. For them, tradition and history poised ...
Maybe Indianapolis after the light illuminate the future 2009 for some drivers and team.
If in Contest 1 water came down, Contest 2 it is opened with the vision of a river over black asphalt of Donington Park.
Protagonists Ryuichi Kiyonari and its Honda CBR1000RR that they conquer the third Victoria ages them. For the Japanese one wonderful guide on the bathed one, style “rain man” Vermeulen in MotoGP. The centauro of house Hannspree Ten Kate it comments therefore its Victoria:
"It has been the hardest contest, I have made a pair of errors because I was pushing a lot. At the beginnig of the contest, the track too much was bathed and the things were indeed difficult but the motion went very well. In last the ten turns I have tried to increase the rhythm because Cal was being always approached more".
2° to the goal the British one Cal Crutchlow that it precedes the bruised one Troy Corser. The Australian door to house 3° a place but also 6 falls in the week end English. Record in negative.
Ugly slide in the end for the world-wide leader of and the winning one of Contest 1, Troy Bayliss. Fortunately no consequence… if not to its Ducati 1098. Negative performance also for Noriyuki Haga, than it is looked at to wave the black flag in order not to have carried out laughs-through to marks them of the direction. The likeable Japanese had taken the endorsement technical during Contest 1.
6° place for Max Biaggi, preceded from an optimal one Michel Fabrizio. Author this last one of an other ugly incident in Contest 1. Like for Bayliss, also for the Italian no physical consequence. They close the Italians with Lanzi 11° and Roberto Rolfo 13°.
More and more in summit Troy Bayliss, than door its advantage on the pursuer Corser to 101 points. More and more near throne and crown for the house lion Ducati. For the words written in Contest 1, the writing of Motomondiale ITALY it cannot it are some that content.
Rain on the circuit of Donington Park. Suspended contest in order very two times; before for the oil in track the cause breach of Yamaha YZF-R1 of the Japanese Noriyuki Haga and in the second occasion for guilt of the “water fleet” that came down from the sky.
Win Troy Bayliss with one fantastic contest. The Australian champion will declare subsequently:
"I come to Donington from 1998 and are much content to have won finally. All the weekend e' be positive, we have had variable conditions much but we have been fast is on the dry ground is on the bathed one. All the time I have held of eye the wall in order to see the sum of the times, I would have pleased myself also of according to place but I had not never won here, therefore I wanted just this Victoria".
For Motomondiale ITALY it represents one of the true pilots, champions in the spirit and the passion for the two wheels. A born man in order to run and to breathe the verà sportività. Troy wants to always give the maximum in track….and outside… with inconiabile professionality and dedication he tells always how much to us is beautiful to go to us… to the maximum. Grande Bayliss, immense Ducati.
According to on podio the wild card English Tom Sykes in saddleback to Suzuki GSX-R1000, that he precedes the Spanish Ruben Xaus. This last one but will come disqualified from the commissioners, second cause exposure of the red flag. Sure episode not clearly and of still less positive for Team Sterilgarda managed they give Marco Borciani. It ends on podio ours Max Biaggi, that it will declare to the microphones:
“I was in the box and I was myself levando the skin coveralls, preparing to me to return to mine motorhome, when the marshal they have come to call saying to me to make in a hurry, that I was behind schedule. “In order to go where” I have asked they, “on the podio” have answered to me…”
The corsaro after this surprise it will receive some other less appreciate. To donate it he is the companion Xaus, forced to come down “literally” from 3° the step of the podio. Animated argument between the two centauri. Incolpevole Max from all the points of view.
Between the “victims” of slippery asphalt of Contest 1 to signal for withdrawal: Kiyonari, Carlos Checa, Max Neukirchner and one ill-fated Troy Corser.
