Mandello del Lario, 10 September 2021 – “Road to 2121: Moto Guzzi’s next 100 years”. Today saw the presentation in Mandello del Lario of the major preservation and restructuring project for the industrial site where, for exactly one century, every single motorcycle of the Eagle Brand has been produced.
Commissioned from world-famous US architect and designer Greg Lynn, the redevelopment will involve the entire site. Unique of its kind and in its style, this is a futuristic project: a location with open spaces for use by the public, a meeting place for the community, founded on culture, design and mechanics, with a strong green focus in line with contemporary trends.
Constant attention to environmental sustainability and efficient use of resources. The new buildings will make use of the existing structures, with materials chosen with close attention to efficient energy management, thanks to photovoltaic systems and eco-sustainable materials.
The site will be a focal point for Guzzi bikers and for young people and international tourists interested in the astonishing unique features of its motorcycles.
The extension of the factory’s production capacity, to match the constant growth in demand, will be part of a completely new approach to the layout of Mandello.
In addition to the new factory, the project will create new conference facilities to host both internal and external events, as well as a hotel and a restaurant for a complete range of amenities to welcome visitors from around the world.
Work will commence by the end of 2021, and will be completed in the first half of 2025.
The new Moto Guzzi V100 Mandello was displayed during the event, in an exclusive worldwide preview. The motorcycle’s stunning lines, cutting-edge engine and state-of-the-art technologies introduce the Moto Guzzi brand for the next one hundred years.
The official presentation of the new motorcycle will take place on 23 November 2021 at the EICMA international motorcycle show in Milan.

More, from a press release issued by MotorSport Vision Racing:
Title Fighter decider beckons at Silverstone as Bridewell tops SUPERPICKS Free Practice
Tommy Bridewell maintained his position at the top of the Bennetts British Superbike Championship SUPERPICKS Free Practice times at Silverstone, with his time from the opening session giving him the advantage at the end of the opening day. The field was incredibly close with just 0.988s covering the top 22 riders.
A light shower before the second session meant that it was only in the closing moments that the times began to tumble and it became a hectic dash to the finish, as the riders fought to secure their position in tomorrow’s SUPERPICKS Q2 session.
Kyle Ryde had been one of the riders to complete the most laps in the second session, and the Rich Energy OMG Racing BMW rider surged into second position with his very last lap of the day, but Bridewell had the edge with his earlier lap by 0.044s.
Ryde shuffled back Gino Rea into third after the Buildbase Suzuki rider had rapidly moved up the order with his final run of laps, also taking advantage of the improving conditions. Jason O’Halloran ended the session in fourth place, as the McAMS Yamaha team made it four different manufacturers inside the top four.
Xavi Forés set the fifth fastest time, with Tarran Mackenzie splitting the two FHO Racing BMW teammates, as Peter Hickman ended the day seventh fastest as he bids to secure his Title Fighters status in tomorrow’s opening BikeSocial race.
Glenn Irwin was eighth fastest for Honda Racing as he remained ahead of Lee Jackson and Bradley Ray, as the contenders all prepare to battle for the final four Title Fighter positions.
There was just 0.003s between the VisionTrack Ducati teammates as Christian Iddon and Josh Brookes completed the top 12 riders who progress directly into tomorrow’s SUPERPICKS Q2 session.
Riders also bidding for a place in the Showdown include Andrew Irwin who held 13th, ahead of Rory Skinner, whilst Ryan Vickers was 16th after edging out Danny Buchan.
Four riders have already confirmed their Title Fighter status in their bid for the title – O’Halloran, Mackenzie, Bridewell and Iddon, but the three races at Silverstone will decide the final four contenders.

Tommy Bridewell – Oxford Products Racing Ducati
Fastest in SUPERPICKS Free Practice at Silverstone
“It’s been a good day because to be honest, we knew the weather was going to be a bit iffy, so we kept one eye on when we needed to have a bit of a dig.
“I felt FP1 was going have the better weather and it kind of played into our hands a little bit, but even so, to do four or five laps and straight away be in the 53s is very good. That is where we were last year in the race and the bike feels a lot better now.
“The Oxford Products Racing Ducati is working really well and I’m happy with it, so we’re in good form. I feel like we have good pace over distance, I feel like we’re in the strongest position we have been for a while and I feel ready to get stuck in tomorrow.”

Gagne Leads The Way On Friday At NJMP
Jake Gagne On Top Again In HONOS Superbike Heading Into The Weekend In New Jersey
MILLVILLE, NJ (September 10, 2021) – As he has done all season long, Fresh N’ Lean Attack Performance Yamaha’s Jake Gagne led the opening day of qualifying for this weekend’s MotoAmerica round at New Jersey Motorsports Park, the Californian besting the rest of the HONOS Superbike field in Q1 on Friday.
Gagne lapped the 2.25-mile NJMP in 1:20.910 to top M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Cameron Petersen by .422 of a second on a sunny afternoon in Millville to earn provisional pole position for this weekend’s three HONOS Superbike races.
Westby Racing’s Mathew Scholtz completed the provisional front row with his 1:21.373, just .041 of a second slower than fellow South African Petersen.
Fourth fastest on the day was Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati New York’s Loris Baz, the Frenchman ending up .612 of a second off Gagne’s best. Baz also suffered a crash at the end of the session but escaped uninjured.
Gagne’s two Yamaha teammates for the weekend, Toni Elias and Josh Herrin, finished the day fifth and sixth as the Fresh N’ Lean Attack Performance Yamaha team is fielding three bikes this weekend. Elias was .208 of a second quicker than Herrin on the opening day.
Scheibe Racing BMW’s Hector Barbera ended up seventh in his first trip to NJMP, besting M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Bobby Fong and One Cure Ducati’s Kyle Wyman. FLY Racing ADR Motorsports’ Bradley Ward rounded out the top 10.
An M4 ECSTAR Suzuki was on top of the Supersport field on Friday at NJMP, but it wasn’t ridden by champion-elect Sean Dylan Kelly. In this case, it was the GSX-R600 of his teammate Sam Lochoff who ended up on provisional pole after Q1.
Second fastest was also somewhat of a surprise with Landers Racing’s Rocco Landers just .082 of a second behind Lochoff. Only then did championship rivals Richie Escalante and Kelly show up on the timesheets, the pair ending the day third and fourth, respectively.
SportbikeTrackGear.com Junior Cup Championship points leader Tyler Scott led Friday’s Q1 session with his 1:30.432 on the Scott Powersports KTM, besting Rodio Racing’s Gus Rodio’s 131.214. Bauce Racing/Cyber Solutions/JL62 Racing’s Joseph LiMandri Jr. ended up third with Scott’s championship rival Benjamin Gloddy fourth on the Landers Racing Kawasaki.
Corey Alexander hasn’t given up on winning the MotoAmerica Stock 1000 Championship and he showed up at NJMP on a mission and that led to him leading Q1 on Friday. HONOS HVMC Racing’s Alexander headed the timesheets with his 1:22.610 to lead MESA37’s Stefano Mesa and Disrupt Racing’s Mark Heckles. More importantly for Alexander was the fact that championship points leader Jake Lewis could only muster the fourth fastest time on his Altus Motorsports Suzuki.
Cory Ventura made his MotoAmerica Twins Cup debut on Friday at NJMP and promptly put his Veloce Racing Aprilia RS 650 on provisional pole, despite tipping over early in the Q1 session. Ventura lapped at 1:26.115 to lead Robem Engineering’s Tommaso Marcon, the Italian making his U.S. racing debut. Marcon’s teammate and championship points leader Kaleb De Keyrel ended up third on the day.
