The famous Salone del Ciclo e Motociclo (EICMA) is on the of the biggest two-wheels fair in Europe and reached half million of visitors last week end. The Frechman had a long and interesting tour of the Italian fair including an amazing interview with the Italian TV commentators Guido Meda and Franco Bobbiese at Mediaset TV on-site stage which has been followed by hundreds of fans. Randy: “It was a very interesting experience. The fans were very warm with me and I had to stop every two metres to sign autographs and to take pictures with people. I like this part of my job! The fair was very big and crowded and full of my pictures and posters everywhere. I’d like to thank the Team supporters like Rev’it, Denso, GIVI, Malossi, Rizoma, PBR, Rapid Bike and Fren Tubo for their great hospitality and their support during the last season”.

Complimenti al team r.c.g.m!

Grandissimo successo per tutti i ragazzi del Team RCGM! Lo scorso fine settimana si è svolto sul circuito di Albacete l'unico appuntamento della stagione valido per l'assegnazione del titolo di Campione d'Europa.Lorenzo Savadori ha sbaragliato la concorrenza, portando a casa la pole position, il miglior tempo in gara e, naturalmente, la prima posizione finale. Il giovanissimo pilota ha condotto una gara esemplare, simbolo di grande esperienza e maturità tipiche di un grande campione. Lorenzo si conferma una certezza per il futuro e un punto fermo della scuderia di Bertinoro.Grande gara anche quella di Luca Vitali, giunto 15° sul traguardo dopo una gara combattutissima. Il ragazzo ha ritrovato il piglio combattivo e avrebbe meritato qualcosa in più.Quindicesimo posto anche per Luca Verdini nella SuperStock 1000.Manca a questo punto una sola gara al termine della stagione. Rivedremo i nostri beniamini al Mugello per la chiusura del Campionato Italiano Velocità. Aspettiamo di festeggiare il titolo Italiano nella 125GP e ci auguriamo di vedere finalmente Verdini sul podio! A domenica!

eccolo!

Fantastica doppietta per i ragazzi del team RCGM, che in una sola settimana porta a casa il titolo Europeo e quello Italiano per la 125GP.Al termine di una gara combattutissima Lorenzo Savadori sale sul secondo gradino del podio e si laurea per la prima volta Campione Italiano. Il giovane pilota ha condotto una gara esemplare, tirandosi fuori da una bagarre molto accesa onde evitare di rimanere coinvolto in qualche incidente e vedersi portar via il titolo italiano.Vitali e Verdini sono arrivati entrambi undicesimi rispettivamente nella 125GP e nella Superstock.Il doppio successo ottenuto in questa stagione premia il duro lavoro del team di Bertinoro che tutto l'anno ha preferito dimostrare il proprio valore con poche parole e molti risultati."Sapevamo di potercela fare e sentiamo di aver meritato pienamente questo secondo successo perchè tutti noi abbiamo dato il massimo e abbiamo lavorato nel migliore dei modi. Ovviamente questo non sarebbe stato possibile senza il supporto dei nostri tifosi, degli sponsor e di tutti coloro che ci hanno accompagnato in questa esaltante stagione" ha dichiarato il DS Paolo Zavalloni.Possiamo ora prenderci una pausa e continuare a gioire di questo successo marchiato ancora una volta RCGM!

Le Possibilita' di Alessandro Polita in Superstock 1000

Facciamo con Corrado Mirano meccanico di Alessandro Polita,il punto sul campionato superstock

-Allora Corrado,siete soddisfatti a questo punto della stagione o pensavate di fare ancora di piu'?-

"..siamo soddisfatti per i risultati in un campionato cosi' difficile e combattuto,con il solo rimpianto per il niente raccolto in Germania dovuto ad un'inconveniente del venerdi nelle prove ufficili poi il sabato sotto l'acqua non siamo riusciti a migliorarci,in gara siamo partiti al 36° posto e nonostante una buona rimonta siamo rimasti senza punti"

-Siete a 15 punti dalla testa,e' ancora tutto in gioco........-

"si ,restano tre gare e quindi 75 punti da assegnare e daremo del filo da torcere agli avversari"

-come ti trovi con Alessandro?-

"Lavorare con Alessandro e' un vero piacere e' un caro ragazzo e soprattutto quando e' il momento guida sopra ai problemi con grinta e determinazione"

-Quale avversario ti spaventa di piu' per la corsa al titolo?-

"Sono tutti dei buoni piloti ma Simeon ha dimostrato di essere il piu' costante e se non fosse stato per un problema avuto nel Gran premio Inglese che gli ha impedito di prendere il via,sarebbe al comando con un buon margine"

-Corrado qual'e' stata la stagione sportiva che ti ha dato piu' soddisfazione dal punto di vista personale?-

"Nel 2005 in aprilia con il pilota Sebastian Porto, se non fosse stato per una caduta

che gli ha procurato problemi alla testa sono sicuro che ci saremmo potuti giocare il Campionato del mondo 250cc"

Grazie Corrado ci risentiamo a fine campionato.

Brands Hatch

Ryuichi Kiyonari (Hannspree Ten Kate Honda) crowned a triumphant week of racing with two sensational wins in the tenth round of the HANNspree FIM Superbike World Championship at Brands Hatch in front of 97,000 spectators, just a few days after winning the Suzuka 8 Hours endurance race in Japan. The 25 year-old, reigning BSB champion, got the better of Troy Bayliss (Ducati Xerox) in race 1, before completing a day of triumph with a second win over Noriyuki Haga (Yamaha Motor Italia WSB) in race 2.
Race 1
Bayliss led for most of the race with Kiyonari right behind but the Honda man passed the points leader on lap 22 and held on for the win. Second place went to Bayliss and third to Max Biaggi (Sterilgarda Go Eleven Ducati), who was the fastest rider on the track in the final stages after making up more than 3 seconds on the leaders in eight laps. At the flag Kiyonari, Bayliss and Biaggi were separated by two-tenths. Two Suzukis were next up, with Yukio Kagayama fourth and Fonsi Nieto fifth, while Max Neukirchner finished seventh after being passed by Carlos Checa (Hannspree Ten Kate Honda) towards the end. It was a disappointing race for the factory Yamaha team, with Troy Corser only managing eighth and Noriyuki Haga crashing out while fighting for the top positions. British wild-card Tom Sykes (Rizla Suzuki) was also running well but had to retire with a holed radiator while in third. It was a disappointing race for Michel Fabrizio (Ducati Xerox) in twelfth, while Ruben Xaus (Sterilgarda Go Eleven Ducati) was weakened by flu and failed to take the start.
Ryuichi Kiyonari (Hannspree Ten Kate Honda): "I am very happy today, I started badly in the early laps but my bike had a really good set-up so I could keep lapping in 1m26s laps. Then I pushed and pushed and finally I got the win."
Troy Bayliss (Ducati Xerox): "I was feeling quite comfortable for most of the race and everything was working quite well, but I haven't actually spent much time racing with Kiyonari and wasn't sure how it was going to pan out. He was very strong on the first split and when he came past I would have been very happy for second, but when he did I realized he was in the same trouble as me. Then I saw Max coming so fast and had to push really hard and it became a bit of a dogfight towards the end."
Max Biaggi (Sterilgarda Go Eleven Ducati): "I'm quite satisfied with the result. I started good then went backwards as some other riders came through. The first laps were very hard, then I got into a good rhythm and overtook one by one. At the end I couldn't believe I came close to these two guys, but there was not enough time to try and take Troy or Kiyonari, but it was a good race."
Results: 1. Kiyonari R. (JPN) Honda CBR1000RR 36'18.607 (152,933 kph); 2. Bayliss T. (AUS) Ducati 1098 F08 0.137; 3. Biaggi M. (ITA) Ducati 1098 RS 08 0.180; 4. Kagayama Y. (JPN) Suzuki GSX-R1000 5.733; 5. Nieto F. (ESP) Suzuki GSX-R1000 6.499; 6. Checa C. (ESP) Honda CBR1000RR 6.984; 7. Neukirchner M. (GER) Suzuki GSX-R1000 8.300; 8. Corser T. (AUS) Yamaha YZF-R1 10.732; 9. Smrz J. (CZE) Ducati 1098 RS 08 16.547; 10. Rolfo R. (ITA) Honda CBR1000RR 16.569; 11. Lanzi L. (ITA) Ducati 1098 RS 08 18.366; 12. Fabrizio M. (ITA) Ducati 1098 F08 22.308; 13. Sofuoglu K. (TUR) Honda CBR1000RR 26.788; 14. Lavilla G. (ESP) Honda CBR1000RR 26.856; 15. Walker C. (GBR) Honda CBR1000RR 32.877; 16. Muggeridge K. (AUS) Honda CBR1000RR 38.329.
Race 2
The second race also had a Japanese flavour about it as Kiyonari powered ahead to win from Haga after a race-long battle. The final podium slot went to Troy Corser (Yamaha Motor Italia WSB), who ran a steady race but was unable to challenge the top pair, while Neukirchner scored a good result in fourth. The German finished ahead of his team-mate Nieto, who passed Fabrizio on the last lap, while Sykes this time managed to hold off Checa for seventh. Bayliss was out of luck after changing to a different compound for race 2 and could only finish eleventh, one place ahead of Biaggi, who dropped down to 28th position in the early stages after an off-track excursion.
Ryuichi Kiyonari (Hannspree Ten Kate Honda): "I'm very happy with this weekend. On Friday I was in first position in qualifying, then yesterday I set a good time in Superpole. It was the same today, with fast lap times and a double win. I had a lot of pressure with Nori behind me and many times I made a mistake but to win here at Brands Hatch was fantastic today."
Noriyuki Haga (Yamaha Motor Italia WSB): "I'm very happy for this result because in the first race the rear tyre was not so good and I was very disappointed. In the second race I just changed it and this tyre gave quite a good feeling. I make a battle with Kiyo but he was faster than me in some places and finally I was not able to catch him, but we made a really good race. Congratulations for Kiyo!"
Troy Corser (Yamaha Motor Italia WSB): "It was better than the first race, when we had a few tyre troubles but we made some changes to the bike which definitely improved it but there was no way I could run the pace of the guys at the front. They just pulled away. I had a bit of a battle with Bayliss and it took me a few laps to get past him, but I'm content with third. It'll do for now, but I'm looking forward to winning races again!"
Results: 1. Kiyonari R. (JPN) Honda CBR1000RR 36'14.904 (153,193 kph); 2. Haga N. (JPN) Yamaha YZF-R1 1.848; 3. Corser T. (AUS) Yamaha YZF-R1 8.883; 4. Neukirchner M. (GER) Suzuki GSX-R1000 11.180; 5. Nieto F. (ESP) Suzuki GSX-R1000 12.928; 6. Fabrizio M. (ITA) Ducati 1098 F08 13.696; 7. Sykes T. (GBR) Suzuki GSX-R1000 13.872; 8. Checa C. (ESP) Honda CBR1000RR 14.009; 9. Smrz J. (CZE) Ducati 1098 RS 08 19.065; 10. Lanzi L. (ITA) Ducati 1098 RS 08 19.864; 11. Bayliss T. (AUS) Ducati 1098 F08 20.479; 12. Biaggi M.

He was transferred to the Royal London Hospital by air ambulance for further assessment and treatment.

The Frenchman powered away into the lead taking Matteo Baiocco (O Six Kawasaki) and Matej Smrz (MS Racing Honda) with him, but he then pulled away at the mid-point to win easily, while his two rivals both crashed out. Thanks to this second win in a row, Berger moves into the lead of the table on the same points as Brendan Roberts (Ducati Xerox Junior Team), who finished fourth. The two remaining podium slots went to Sheridan Morais (Pedercini Kawasaki) of South Africa in his first race of the season, and Italian Andrea Antonelli (Althea Racing Honda). Title chaser Xavier Simeon (Alstare) had a disastrous weekend, the Belgian crashing his Suzuki on Saturday and then going out with a broken engine on the warm-up lap.Results: 1. Berger M.
