[Epicco]

Hola a todos!  :P

Lamento por Toni.....


Temos falado aqui em James Toseland, e até em Suofuglo (assim que se escreve?) em função de serem pilotos Honda e também por terem o mesmo patrocinio.

Porque não Roberto Rolfo?

Saludos,

Pues sí, según Motociclismo.es, dicen que para Alemania lo susituirá M. Fabrizio (el cual prometía mucho hace unos años, pero que tanto la pasada temporada como la presente, está haciendo un papel muy poco vistoso) y para Laguna a Duhamel, que será una estrella allí por los USA, pero con 38 tacos en el cuerpo, y por mucho que se conozca Laguna Seca, no creo que sea el candidato más mejor.... será comercialmente para Honda-América pero quedar el último no creo que sea un buen marketing ?¿¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?

chiachio que poca confianza en el 'chaval', veremos si no te hace quedar mal cuando llegue el momento  :

Y Toni sigue 'emperrao' en llegar a Brno. A ver si hay suerte y con las narices que le echa lo consigue, no podía llegar en peor momento la lesión ¬¬'

"Me gustaría correr en Brno. Sé que está complicado, pero la ilusión y las ganas a veces mueven montañas, y voy a poner todo de mi parte para conseguirlo", explicó Elías.

Aquí tenemos a Duhamel probando la moto :D

Bueno, pues Fabrizio (Sachsenring) y DuHamel (Laguna Seca) parece que ya son oficiales.

Bueno, yo he visto una carrera del AMA de este año (Daytona) y .. buff.. será viejo, pero le sabe dar al gas.  Hizo un 2º puesto. Madlin y el otro Roger Lee Hayden, al suelo. Mikemaru y yo flipábamos cómo corrian el oval, pillándose el rebufo a casi 300 que irian... uff... eso aqui no lo hacen ni de coña, tenian el muro muy cerca.

En cuanto al campeonato, actualmente va 4º en el AMA. Delante de él sólo Spies, Madlin y Zemke. Detrás de el Tommy Hayden.

Resumiendo, viejuno pero parece que no está mal de forma, no?

duhamel es un superclase - en 500cc corrió con una yamaha privada y aún así no lo hizo mal

después de mladin es el piloto con más victorias en ama

y tiene 39 años, no 38. y más manos que muchos en mgp.

honda tiene a nicky como estandarte en américa, lo de duhamel es más como un agradecimiento a un empleado de muchos años. dudo mucho que quede último.

¡¡¡Viiiiiiiiirgen Santa! como lo haga medianamente bien, unos cuantos que todos sabemos deberían coger petate y puerta :  :

Ahora solo falta que le dejen la moto de Akiyoshi a Spies o Duhamel  ^_^

Suzuki has confirmed to MCN that it will look at giving reigning American superbike champion Ben Spies a chance to test or race a factory GSV-R 800 in 2007.

A ride for Spies, whether it be a test appearance or as a wild card in one of the remaining nine MotoGP world championship rounds, has been discussed between Kevin Schwantz and Rizla Suzuki MotoGP factory team boss Paul Denning.

Suzuki has run three bikes in selected MotoGP races in the past with test and development riders Kousuke Akiyoshi and Nobuatsu Aoki landing wild card rides.
Denning confirmed to MCN that he had told Suzuki's Japanese management of the interest from Spies about riding a GSV-R in the near future.

"Kevin (Schwantz) has let me know that Ben is definitely keen. I gave that info to Suzuki but it's a little bit late in the day when Suzuki already has its wild cards with contracted riders done and dusted. I don't know what Suzuki's reaction to a request for Ben would be, but they understand that riders as talented as him don't come a long easily in superbikes and there's an interest to keep him motivated and involved in the Suzuki family. It would be a factory decision based on logistics and technical availability. And based on a group of people that could run the guy because you don't want to have him turn up and not give him the support he deserves."

Schwantz, who works closely with Spies in the American superbike series, told MCN: "Paul and I have talked about it a couple times and we've got to get an idea out in front of the Japanese for him to come and test the thing somewhere when the AMA season finishes."

 It was confirmed yesterday that Suzuki had lost American rider John Hopkins to Kawasaki for 2008. An official announcement about Hopkins' new contract with Kawasaki is expected tomorrow (Thursday) on the eve of the German GP at the Sachsenring.

Y RL Hayden confirmado.

Roger Lee Hayden, brother of current MotoGP world champion Nicky, will ride a factory Ninja ZX-RR at the Red Bull US Grand Prix later this month, as a wildcard rider.

Already representing the Japanese motorcycle manufacturing giant in both the AMA Superbike and Supersport series in America, the 24 year old from Kentucky will race a third bike for the Kawasaki Racing Team at the event in California, alongside regular riders, Randy de Puniet and Anthony West.

Hayden rode Shinya Nakano's 2006 Kawasaki 990cc MotoGP bike during a test at Valencia at the end of last season and also enjoyed a brief opportunity to ride the new ZX-RR at Japanese circuit, Autopolis, recently. With his considerable experience of the Laguna Seca track, the team hope he'll raise their profile in front of a knowledgeable and enthusiastic American crowd and have some fun on the powerful, 800cc machine while he's at it.

The young Hayden boasts an impressive pedigree. As part of the Hayden family racing dynasty, he was put on a motorcycle at six and began racing just a couple of years later, eventually turning professional in 1999. He came second in the AMA Supersport championship in both 2004 and 2005, scored fifth in that series last year and is currently running second in the 2007 title fight. In 2006, he won Rookie of the Year in the AMA Superbike championship. Furthermore, he's done well at Laguna Seca in the past, including gaining a Supersport win there in 2004.

Both AMA Superbike and Supersport will feature as support races at the Monterey circuit over the course of the MotoGP weekend and Hayden will ride his Kawasaki ZX-6R in the latter, in addition to his wildcard ride. He won't, however, race his ZX-10R Superbike that weekend as otherwise he'd never be off the grid!
The Kawasaki Racing Team very much look forward to Hayden joining them in California for the race on 22nd July, in what will no doubt be a fast, hot and exciting crowd-pleaser.

Kawasaki MotoGP Wild Card Rider #95
"The test last week went pretty well and I felt comfortable on the Ninja ZX-RR straight away. It'll definitely take a bit of getting used to but I'm really grateful for the support of Kawasaki, who flew me all the way to Japan so I'd already be a little bit familiar with the bike before the race. It's a lot smaller than the bikes I normally ride, and revs a lot higher, but it handles really well and I feel I made the transition quite smoothly. It's a dream come true to race a MotoGP bike at Laguna Seca and it's been years since I raced against Nicky. I'm not putting any pressure on myself: I'd just like it to be a positive experience and if I can score some points, that would be awesome. With quite a few Americans on the grid, the crowd will certainly have something to cheer about, plus my family and friends are going to come along so it should all be pretty cool."

Kawasaki Competition Manager
"Originally we had no intention of running any wild card riders this year, but we were able to look again at the possibility after the Catalunya race and it quickly became apparent that there was an opportunity for us to run a third bike at Laguna Seca. America is a very important market for Kawasaki, so that's why we've made the decision to be the first manufacturer to run an American wild card rider in the U.S. Grand Prix since it's return to the calendar in 2005. We chose Roger Lee because he's a long serving member of the 'Kawasaki family', representing Kawasaki in the domestic championships in the United States. We don't have any particular expectations of him in the race, as his time on the bike so far has been limited, but we know that he will be out to secure the best result possible for himself, and I hope that he will enjoy the chance to ride Kawasaki's Ninja ZX-RR in front of his home crowd. Who knows? Maybe this will be the start of us using wildcard riders more in the future or, possibly, running a third bike full time in the championship next year."
