Motorcycle Rumors: sifting among many voices.

January 26, 2012 MotoGP World Championship - Moto2 - Moto3 , Superbike & Supersport World Championships , Entities & Enterprises , MotorCuriosity

Pending tests, then the races, are the voices of many fans to be thrilled motovelocità. So many rumors, founded or not, but curious, we can rest and Report this is a way to stay on the subject that fascinates many riders. There are drivers still in the "hunt" to find accommodation, or team whose season is still conditioned by finding the minimum resources for a championship program, national or world that is. Holding forth on this but you can not neglect to give voice to cioò that the medium-term.

- In a little over a week the boxes with Superbike and Supersport will be shipped on planes flying to Australia doive are scheduled testing days and and the first round of the season (Feb. 26). Have been indicated the drivers that make up the entry list of the two classes, with their race numbers and the games seem to be set for the opening, perhaps with a few defections to be recovered with the second round expected in Europe. Confirmed in SBK 24 subscribers, while the Supersport could be the 34 starters, with an insert also Italian,

Bimota - Ruben Xaus, a few months joined the staff director of Bimota, has released a lengthy interview with MotoBlog.It, covering many topics. Circumstances to be very busy with his flying schools in Spain, France and Russia, has decided to commit to implement the plans of the company Rimini, in particular the sports industry. In particular, is working on Moto2, has started a joint venture with Edo Racing to broaden the action in different leagues. In the program "runs" of the figure for 2012 participation in the CIV, perhaps with a few wild cards in the world with, to prepare an entrance across the rainbow in the event, will depend on how the bike. Zaus Bimota has also anticipated that the program has a "Superbike" was under way to develop a bike for 2013, when they should change the rules with more specific stocks. Must be a decision on the start-up phase: starting immediately with the inscription or make some wild card in 2013 with a view to full engagement in 2014. Leaving aside the many aspects of a program this ambitious and important for corporate growth, making for some competitiveness, the most critical aspect of the project so you can find in the approval FIM, because of the volumes that are required to have clearance participation. Perhaps more realistic would be a project CRT. Bimota at home it seems that the attention paid to remains wonders (?) Of Gobert author of a victory in an eventful race, the true sporting history of the company has been written in different times and with very different results. We hope that you can do to Bimota and staff, including Ruben, you can resume with writing more chapters, narrative stories yet to be winning players.

- There are many facts that are witnessing the decline of Europe, in particular the progressive loss of large events, and the landslide appears to be on the verge of strong interest to motorcycling. Are increasing rumors and speculation, all suggest there would be no difficulty, by some plants to follow up the agreements governing the organization of the MotoGP grand prix motor racing or other events. Items you recently have also affected the Sachsenring circuit in Germany and in the latter case Estoril. They seem to already be at risk of even a few GP 2012 season, maybe it's not a lot of damage considering the number reached by the championship events. The European difficulties could lead to a clear tendency to move eastward. The SBK opens with Russia, the MotoGP inaugurated a plant in India with Jorge Lorenzo, it is argued after the F1 Grand Prix, the second most populous country in the world (with a strong growth in the economy), will host a race circuit proposed by Dorna. Dorna that short could also take control of motomondiali speed as a whole gained through corporate mergers in 2011. GDP growth could help, after China, not only Russia and India, issues of "grain" which in Europe are very timely. Developments could be there with regard to the production of motorcycles with some technical breakthroughs are favorable. More difficult will be to give birth and feed the passion between the peoples of the first approaches "diamonds of thunder."

- The dream of seeing an Italian bike, a great name, at the start of the 2012 World Supersport know is revealed to be unenforceable. Apart from problems within the company, is all evidence that would have missed the requirements for obtaining approval to be admitted to the FIM World Championship competition. IN the national races will be exempt, as happened with the Bimota Tesi that I compete with the number and out of the official rankings, but the world would not be feasible such an eventuality. Being able to count on the attention of a team like Alstare is very important and you can believe in a possible league debut in 2013. It 'a wish made to the house of Schiranna and the Italian motorcycling.

He has just finished the Kermesse Verona Motor Bike Expo and it's already time to think about the event to be held March 3 to 4 in Padua: Passion Moto now in its second big issue, an event born from the rib of the festival in Verona. The organizers express great confidence: "In contrast to the depressed and depressing overall climate," says Mario Baccaglini "effervescence permeates it, want to rise above the negativity, to look ahead and why not have fun. For those who have made ​​this a life style of the bike is already gearing up for not getting lost Passion Moto 2012, the event which marks the start of the season. " In the 2010 edition hosted 25 visitors were in the twenty thousand square meters of exhibition space, where they had an appointment dealers, tuners and restorers, clubs and historical records, spare parts, accessories and apparel, custom and the private sector. For a total of 250 exhibitors, while motorcycles were 750, provided a significant increase for the next edition. Passion Moto is a proposal for Intermeeting, the group that organizes and proposes, for next fall, the international Auto and Moto d'Epoca.

The race number pick? For the honor, but ... business at risk

January 9, 2012 MotoGP World Championship - Moto2 - Moto3 , MotorCuriosity

Last "withdrawal" of the number of contest for the honor is the "65" Loris Capirossi came at the end of his career. The number of race that the riders wear on their bike has always been a particularly distinctive to give visibility to the athlete and lost in time, the primary function of identifying the purpose of controlling the race. With the adoption of the transponder, electronic control of the rider on the track, race number has assumed, for a modest value of timekeeping, timekeepers for action "recovery" can count on the filmed images "betting on the finish line. The number remains useful for service operators on the track to facilitate the identification   pilots to be reported to race control, in particular for any irregularities of conduct. The race number has a greater importance in smaller races where guys compete that are not known for their characterization / motorbike clothing, what happens to the pilots involved in the major leagues. For smaller races including the availability of images and more limited, often reduced to images of the internal circuit specification from various plants. In the past, had a great value on number 1, samples assigned to a charge drivers for the season, with the increased need for visibility, the pilots, with the support of various consultants, particularly for samples that set the trends, the choice was made Fixed number for life. It was decided also to the prestige attribute to the presence of the number on the hull or on the suit (he was a champion Giacomo Agostini). The IMF has restored the mandatory use in CIV by the reigning champion. The number has become a business opportunity, who would not identify the "46" with Valentino Rossi? One element, the race number, merchandising, maybe the numbers of samples are now registered with records of items owned. The customization of the race number is also recognized in other sports, even in team sports where it was more an indication of a role than in person.

Prejudice to the strong characterization of the bike world has some federations to give the numbers a value that tends to reinforce the concept of "ownership" of the pilot that if the number and 'attributed to a large part of his career. "Withdrawal of the number of tenders for pilots involved in accidents or careers is becoming particularly significant and is likely the trend will increase. Obviously, the withdrawal is limited to the team or league with which to identify the athlete. So it happens that a world champion of 2011 Moto2 Stefan Bradl, passing category, in Moto2 Honda LCR and the old number, given the withdrawal of the number 65 decided by the FIM and Dorna will only retain the old number 6. Perhaps in future there will be disputes over the numbers ... and could not be originated by sporting interests.
