Redding gana la Nifty Fifty Endurance

[el_chorvo]

Scott Redding showed his versatility at the weekend, taking his first race win of the season on a bike that couldn’t have been more different to the 145BHP Suter MMXI machine he’ll campaign in this year’s Moto2 World Championship.

The win came at Mondello Park in Ireland where Scott was competing in the annual Nifty Fifty charity endurance event, an eight-hour race contested on that stalwart of commuters worldwide, the Honda C90!

Joining the Marc VDS rider in the Bridgestone backed team at the event were Grand Prix race winner Jeremy McWilliams, Irish Enduro Champion Paul McGuire and local have-a-go-hero Willy McCausland, who had the dubious honour of being the only rider to crash the bike!

Producing a massive 4.5BHP at the rear wheel, the Honda C90 that the Bridgestone team took to victory was prepared by Alvaro Bautista’s MotoGP Crew Chief, Tom O’Kane. Despite access to the latest MotoGP technology, O’Kane limited tuning to new rear shocks and a set of heated handlebar grips!

The main challenge to Team Bridgestone was expected to come from the Irish Roadracing team, led by Ryan Farquhar and including Isle of Man TT legend, Phillip McCallen. Unfortunately their challenge ended with three crashes from McCallen in his first stint, which resulted in a warning about reckless riding from race direction and the awarding of the “Most Consistent Crasher” trophy at the end of the day!

After almost eight hours of racing Team Bridgestone were lying second to the Bikeworld team but, with just minutes remaining, Jack Kennedy had to bring the Bikeworld C90 in for refuelling and McWilliams sneaked past to take the win for Team Bridgestone by just 15 seconds.

Joining his teammates on the top step of the podium to accept the winner’s trophy, Scott was also presented with the lap record award, after smashing the previous best time for a C90 around Mondello Park by more than six seconds!

All the proceeds from the weekend’s Nifty Fifty endurance event went to Action Medical Research, a charity that funds vital research to help sick babies, children with disabilities and those suffering from rare diseases.

“It was a great event,” said Scott, after collecting his winner’s trophy. “We were doing everything we could to try and maintain speed around the whole circuit, which made for some sketchy moments cornering on the original skinny C90 tyres, especially when it started raining halfway through the race. There were some worrying moments in the race as well; at one point we thought we would run out of fuel because the team manager hadn’t brought enough with him, but we managed to scrounge a few litres from another team in the end. I had a lot of fun, we won the race, smashed the lap record and we raised some cash for charity, so it was a good weekend all round.”

Ya, ya...y cuando mi abuelo era joven el Madrid ganaba todo también...XDDD

[Blackmore]

y con un poco de suerte el Madrid volverá a ganar una liga este año, así que si seguimos con el paralelismo...

Para empezar, en menos de 1 año ya ganó la Copa de fútbol y de basket, que hacía como 20 años que no ganaba ninguna de las dos

[Marc The Bike]

Dejad el fútbol, que eso es cosa del demonio. O como diria Guy Martin "maricones sureños bebedores de pintas claras" (sin querer ofender, oigan)...

buenísima la crónica!
pero fuera bromas...esto para ser un pachanga tenía un elenco que flipas jajajajaja riete de Suzuka tu!

habrá que decirles a los de las 24h de Lliça para 49cc que adelanten la prueba a invierno a ver si se anima el elenco de pilotos catalanes de primer nivel y le damos un empujón a la cita...ya me imagino un Pedrosa vs Coma vs Checa vs Cervantes vs Laia Sanz...

Lo mira con cara de "Ya está el payaso éste, que se cree muy importante por correr en el mundial... si yo corriese en Moto2 se iba a enterar éste... "
