  2. THE POLE JINZ IS FINALLY BROKEN!

    For the first time in the 2007 Moto Grand Prix season, the Pole-sitter converted it into a race victory. In yesterdays U.S. Moto GP the Casey Stoner, Ducati and Bridgestone combination dominated the entire weekend, heading every practice and qualifying session, before completely defeating the entire field in truly comprehensive fashion come race-day. Stoner lead the entire race apart from the very early stages of the first lap, and won by over 9 seconds. Suzukis Chris Vermeulen took 2nd, and Marco Melandri ( set to become Stoners Ducati teamate next season ) completed the podium. Valentino Rossi could only manage 4th ( the first Michelin runner ) so the Championship gap is now 44 points. With the form that Casey is showing it is difficult to see how even the genius of Vale can close a gap of that size.

    There were no 250cc or 125cc races in America, and now the series enters a 4 week Summer break, with the next race being the Czech Republic GP at Brno on August 19th.

    Talking of Brno, the WSBK series visited that venue yesterday. James Toseland got back into winning ways taking the first race from Max Biaggi, and the same 2 riders finished the 2nd race in reverse order, with the Italian adding to his impressive Grand Prix record at the Czech circuit. Next round is at Brands-Hatch, got my ticket!

  3. AMAZING WHAT A LITTLE RAIN CAN DO!

    Yet again a classic example of how a bit of changable weather can turn into an exciting and action packed entertainment. This afternoons Grand Prix form the 'Ring - where do i start? Race started as the rain began, all the field rushing into the pits to change tyres after only 1 lap, with a couple of exceptions. Kimi Raikkonen, the Pole-sitter and 1st lap leader missed the pit entry, so had to lap again on a soaking track on dry tyres; and Spyker driver Markus Winkelhock, who gambled on starting on wets and so took the early lead. However, in the first time since 2002, the race had to be "Red-Flagged" as several cars left the track on the first corner, the track conditions just too dangerous to continue.

    The race re-started with the sun shining but the track still wet. Lewis Hamilton gambled on starting on drys, but it was too early, he lost masses of time and put himself well out of contention. After 5 or so laps Lewis lap times became competative, and the field changed again. At this point Felipe Massa led from Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen. Massa looked very comfortable at this stage and seemed to be on his way to victory, not so fortunate teamate Raikkonen whose car packed-up on him. Then with only about 10 laps to go back came the rain, and this proved to be in Alonsos favour, his Mclaren suiting the wet conditions. A superb overtake ( stop wingeing Massa - it was totally fair ) saw the Spanish Champ take the lead, which he held to the end. This means that Fernando is now only 2 points behind Lewis who failed to score. Brilliant to see Aussie Mark Webber at last have some luck, as a superb drive saw him claim the final podium spot.

    Incidedently, just to remind us of how business orinated this sport(?) has become, a dispute over the rights to the name meant that this race was officially the "European" instead of the "German" Grand Prix. How pathetic!

  4. THUS ENDETH THE DROUGHT OF DANI!

    Spains Dani Pedrosa won his first Moto GP race for over a year, at a dramatic race at the Sachsenring circuit in Germany. Pedrosa led from the very early stages, and produced a dominant performance as he quickly stretched a gap and win by over 10 seconds. Italian veteren Loris Capirossi put his poor showings of this season behind him to confidently claim 2nd, and Nicky Hayden continued his revival to claim the final podium spot.

    Championship leader, Casey Stoner could only claim 5th, but his lead has increased as rival, Valentino Rossi crashed out early in the race, whilst attempting to overtake Randy de Puniet.

    Total joy for the KTM squad in the 250cc event, as Hiro Ayoma led home teamate Miko Kallio for a team 1-2. Alew de Angelis completed the podium.

    The 125cc race was won by Hungarian Galbor Talmacsi, who regains the Championship lead. Bradley Smith finished a highly creditable 8th.

  5. Valentino Rossi has confirmed that he will quit Moto GP racing in three years time, possibly for a switch to four-wheeled motorsport.

    MOTORCYCLING 2007 MOTOGP Valentino Rossi - 0

    The 28-year-old Italian has been linked with a move to both Formula One and the World Rally Championship in the past 18 months, having tested for Ferrari and competed in a number of rally events.

    But the Yamaha rider has instead elected to resign his rivals on two-wheels to yet more punishment, for another few years at least, as he goes in search of a sixth world title.

    "I have a contract with Yamaha until 2008," said Rossi. "When that finishes then we'll see.

    "What I am sure about is that I will ride until I'm 31 or 32 at most. I will look for new stimuli in the next few seasons, but for now I am fully motivated."

    Rossi currently trails Australian Casey Stoner by 21 points in the race for this year's word crown as the Moto GP circus heads to the Sachsenring this weekend for round ten of the championship.

    A battling win at the Dutch TT last time out for 'The Doctor' helped him close the gap to the Ducati rider, but he knows he needs to pull out all the stops in order to beat Stoner again.

    "We know that Casey will be strong again, like he is everywhere this year. With him performing at such a high level at every race, 21 points is not a small amount so we have to be at the maximum," he added.

    "We've got work to do still; we're not perfect yet, especially in the wet, but we're going in the right way and we'll keep pushing."

    Rossi has previously won three times in Germany, in 2002, 2005 and 2006 and another victory would be his third in as many years at the Sachsenring.

  6. KIMI SPOILS THE BRITISH PARTY!

    Today at Silverstone, Lewis Hamilton started his first British Grand Prix from the coverted Pole Position, in front of a sell-out crowd all hoping that he would convert this into his 3rd victory. Started well, defending from the Pole to keep the other front row man, Kimi Raikkonen behind, but in that first period Lewis could not shake off the Ferrari driver, or his own teamate Fernando Alonso. Meanwhile the other Ferrari man, Felipe Massa, was having to battle through the pack as he had stalled on the grid so by having to start from the pit-lane.

    Lewis was the first to stop on the first round of stops, and Kimi put in some blistering laps to leapfrog the Englishman. However Alonso short fuelled in a successful attempt to take the lead. The Spaniard was never able to break away from the Fin however ( both left Lewis behind at this point ); and so when he stopped about 6 laps earlier the Kimi, the Ferrari man was able to make use of his lighter car for those laps to ensure that it was he who emerged from the second pit-stop round in front. Thus the order of the top 3 was established until the end with Kimi recording his 2nd win in as many weeks.

    Another strong drive from Robert Kubica saw him fend off Massa to finish 4th.

    So no home win for Lewis, but he still leads overall by 12 points and has continued his 100% podium finish rate, so not all doom and gloom.

  7. THE REAL KIMI RAIKKONEN HAS EMERGED!

    During last week Ferrari President Luca di Montezemolo posed the question as to when the "real Kimi Raikkonen" would appear. Yesterday, at the French Grand Prix at Magny-Cours, was the answer to that Sir. In a race meeting dominated by the Italian red cars, Kimi used his few laps on a low fuel level to seize the lead during the 2nd round of pit-stops. Great to see the Fin back at the front, and Pole-sitter Massa completed a 1-2 for Ferrari. Lewis Hamilton continued his run of podiums by taking 3rd, well ahead of teamate Fernando Alonso who could only finish 7th.

    Great to see Polish driver Robert Kubica back, and in such good form - finished a good 4th, after that horrific crash in Canada 3 weeks ago.
