Wednesday evening practice at the Isle of Man has been cancelled due to “inclement weather conditions.”

HONDA RIDERS AIMING HIGH AS SEASON INTENSIFIES If it wasn’t punishing enough before it is now. With four races to come in the space of just five weeks, this is when the going gets tough. The frequency of the racing is now at maximum pitch and there will be no let up now until early July with just one week off between the Dutch and German events. This makes things hard on both riders and teams with race fitness becoming as much of an issue as machine development with hardly any time to fine tune bikes between races for the specific demands of each Grand Prix and Mugello is about as demanding a track as any on the calendar. Just 30km north east of Florence Mugello is a high-speed carousel of a track, with rolling, cambered turns and a 215mph 1141m main straight. At 5.245km it’s among the longer tracks too. Racing here tends to be close with spectacular slipstreaming action along the main chute and epic close-quarter fights in the turns, nine of which are right-handers, six left. Rhythm is the key to a fast lap here and a race rhythm over the 23-laps of the MotoGP contest will be crucial. It is also a ‘power’ circuit and the 800cc machines with the best drive out of the turns and the highest top speeds will be at an advantage here. The track has been modified for 2007 with an extra 20,000 capacity provided with new naturally sculpted grandstands at the Scarperia and Correntado turns. Of more significance to riders there is now an extra 280m of run-off at Arrabbiata One and Two. Last year Nicky Hayden (Repsol Honda RC212V) recorded a fighting third place behind winner Valentino Rossi (Yamaha) and second-placed Loris Capirossi (Ducati) and one should not play down the ‘home’ advantage that Italian riders will milk for all its worth here in Italy’s motorcycling heartland. With Casey Stoner (Ducati) leading the MotoGP World Championship standings with 102 points to Rossi’s 81 points both of these competitors will be hoping to scoop the big prize here on Sunday and there will no shortage of extremely vocal fans willing them on. This effect will not be lost on Honda’s big Italian hope Marco Melandri (Gresini Honda RC212V) who is now finding form on his 800cc machine as the season swings into top gear. Marco currently lies fourth overall just one point behind Dani Pedrosa (Repsol Honda RC212V) in third. Melandri said, “It’s nice to be heading to my home race on the back of a podium at Le Mans, a result me and the whole team had worked really hard for. Your home Grand Prix is always exciting, but demanding at the same time. Mugello is one of the most technical circuits on the calendar. It will be a tough race but the mere idea of racing in front of the Italian fans is a nice boost. I still haven’t made it to the podium in the premier-class at Mugello, so to make it this time would be fantastic.” Dani said, “Mugello is always a challenging track to ride and it will be interesting to find out how the circuit feels on the new 800s. Last year was my first time here in MotoGP and the track was certainly one of the most physically demanding tracks we visit all year from a riding point of view, with many fast changes of direction. Still I was able to stay in touch with the leaders and get fourth place last year, which was a pretty good result. The long start/finish straight will make top speed a really important factor again, like in China. Some of the other teams have tested here a lot and they’ll be fast on the straight especially.” His team-mate Nicky said, “You can’t really believe the atmosphere at Mugello until you feel it and I’m really looking forward to coming back here. The fans love it and come ready for their one MotoGP race of the year, and we love riding there too. The track is about as good as it gets because its got a little bit of everything elevation changes, a long straight which normally makes the race really close because drafting is so important, and there are a lot of fast changes of direction which are critical to a good lap. The surface is starting to get a little bit worn and bumpy so it’s definitely important to have the bike set up to soak up the bumps well.” “Mugello is a very technical track,” said Toni Elias (Gresini Honda RC212V). “A lot of changes in direction make it physically demanding. From a riding perspective it is one of the most difficult on the whole calendar. Last year I made a good recovery from 12th on the grid to finish seventh, and this season I’m aiming much higher. The test at Le Mans confirmed the great job we had done throughout the weekend on the race setting for dry conditions. We did a good race simulation so I was happy about that but Mugello will be a completely different challenge.” Shinya Nakano (Konica Minolta Honda RC212V) said, “Mugello is effectively Konica Minolta’s home Grand Prix so I will give my maximum all through the weekend. People are always talking about my Mugello crash from 2004, which happened down the very fast start/finish straight. I still remember and it was very fast! Sure it was scary, but the track holds no fears for me. I’ve returned to the track since then and this year will be my first at Mugello with my new team, new bike and different tyres. We know what our problem has been so far this year I can’t carry the corner speed I want, but I do believe we can do better at this race.” Carlos Checa (LCR Honda RC212V) said, “I’m pretty confident about the Italian Grand Prix. Michelin is giving us a very good support and in France we tested different rear tyres to improve rear-end stability. We’re now very competitive in the mixed part of the track but we’re still a bit short of power for Mugello. I know this is an important race because our Team is Italian and there will be a lot of fans to support us. Then, after Mugello, there’s my home race in Catalunya and I’m really excited about that too.” Kenny Roberts (Roberts KR212V) said, “We have Kurtis (Roberts) riding a second bike for us at Mugello. And we’re looking to Kurtis to give some solid feedback. He’s a rider the team understands and we can interpret the feedback he gives us. The baseline set up of the KR212V is the thing this weekend and with two bikes out there it will speed things up a little.” In the 250cc class Andrea Dovizioso (Scot Honda RS250RW) Will be hoping his home crowd can give him a lift as he chases series points leader Jorge Lorenzo (Aprilia). Lorenzo has 120 points to Dovi’s 88 at this stage of the season. Dovi said, “I like Mugello, it’s amazing racing here because it’s so fast. Unfortunately I’ve never had the satisfaction of winning here, but I hope to do that this weekend. It won’t be easy, the fight will be at the maximum level but I’ll give my best for all the fans.” Julian Simon (Repsol Honda RS250RW) said, “Mugello is a track where top speed has a huge influence and we’re going to work as hard as possible to try to be on top, with the leading group. I like the track and although it’s the most difficult of the Championship, we are really looking forward to racing here.” “We did not achieve a positive result last year in Mugello,” said Shuhei Aoyama (Repsol Honda RS250RW). “But it’s a fast circuit and I like it a lot. I hope to feel better with my knee because it hurt a lot during the last race. I just have to get a better result than in France and I have to improve the feel of the bike.” The injured Yuki Takahashi (Scot Honda RS250RW) is on the mend and said, “I was back in Italy last Thursday and I immediately began rehabilitation. The operation was a success, even if the wrist still hurts. On friday we’ll decide if my condition allows me to race. I hope better luck is on the way for me.” The 125cc category is currently the preserve of Lukas Pesek (Derbi) and Gabor Talmacsi (Aprilia). This experienced duo head the standings with 91 points and 82 points. But Honda’s Bradley Smith (Repsol Honda RS125R) is on the rise after a third place in France and the youngster is aiming to repeat the feat here in Italy. Smith said, “Of course the whole team is feeling positive after Le Mans, but we will put all that behind us and just concentrate on the race at Mugello. We’ll treat it just like any other race and we’ve already started getting prepared and checking on the telemetry from last year. It’s been a busy week because I officially left school on Friday although I still have a couple more exams to do.”

PICKERINGTON, Ohio (May 30, 2007) The 2007 season has been good so far for Erion Honda’s Josh Hayes. The Gulfport, Mississippi native began the year never having tasted victory at several tracks on the AMA road racing circuit. He’s removing tracks off that list nearly every week. Next up for Hayes is Road America on June 3, round five of the AMA Pro Honda Oils Supersport Championship presented by Shoei. Hayes leads the Supersport standings by 12 points over Monster Energy Kawasaki’s Roger Hayden. For Hayes winning at the scenic road course in Elkhart Lake, Wis., is one of his big goals for this season. “Even though I’ve never won at Road America, it’s still my favorite track,” Hayes said. “I’ve done well there over the years. I’ve led a lot of races and earned my first Superbike podium there. I’m very excited about going up there and trying to finally get a win. My only concern is our Supersport bike handles and accelerates awesome, but it lacks a little top speed. My guys are working on that. Top speed could be an issue with the long straights at Road America, but Eric Bostrom beat me last year in the Formula Xtreme race with a slower bike, so I’ve studied the tapes to see what he did and hopefully I’ve learned some things that will help me.” Hayes is trying to give Honda its first Road America Supersport win since 2000. Roger Hayden hopes to close the points gap on Hayes this weekend. The popular Kentuckian hopes to follow in the footsteps of his older brother Tommy, who won this race at Road America three times straight. “We’ve got a good championship battle going, but I need to get up there and win some races,” Roger Hayden said. “Road America is one of those tracks where we usually stay bunched up most of the race. Getting the last lap right there is really important.” Tommy Hayden will be in the field as well. He is ranked fifth in the standings, looking to consistently find the right combination on his Yoshimura Suzuki Supersport machine. Steve Rapp is having a standout year in Supersport, entering Road America third in the points on the Attack Performance Kawasaki. He’s trying to hold off the surging Jamie Hacking of Monster Energy Kawasaki. Hacking is steadily working his way back into championship contention after having a scary crash in Birmingham, Ala., in April. Hacking is the defending and two-time Road America Supersport winner. The Pro Honda Oils Supersport presented by Shoei event this Sunday is part of the Suzuki Superbike Doubleheader on June 1-3. The race will broadcast nationally live on SPEED at 3:00 pm Eastern. Tickets are still available for the event, including a discount four-day Superticket. Order on-line at www.roadamerica.com or by phone at 1800-365-7223.

There’s no rest for Team Amadeus X One. The next round of the World Endurance Championship is the legendary Suzuka 8 Hour race on the 29th of July, but to stay race-fit until then the team, as well as running in the Alpe Adria Endurance series, will compete in the CIV Italian National Championship. After a programme of weight loss the two Yamaha R1s that the team run in the Endurance “marathons” will be taken to Vallelunga, Rome, on the 10th of June where they will be ridden by Will Gruy and newcomer Federico Clementini. Will Gruy will then also race at Misano on the 24th of June.

After injuries sustained in the WERA Natl. Endurance race at Barber Motorsports Park May 5th, Kern is recovering faster then doctors expected. Nate’s projected return will be at VIR in June for the next round of the ASRA Thunderbike series. Extensive physical therapy will have Kern in better shape for the remaining ASRA and MotoST rounds. “It was a freak accident that occured down the straight between T6 and T8 at Barber; I was told the bike just went into a violent tank slapper in a straight line” Kern said. “When I regained consciousness I was on the shoulder of I-20, being taken out of my ambulance that broke down and put into another one!” Kern said laughingly. Team BMW XPLOR and Nate Kern would like to thank all of the supporters during his recovery.

Mark Miller (Apr RSV1000), 21:09.19, 107.020 mph More, from a press release issued by Klaffi Honda: Successful practice for Finnegan but problems for Klaffi and Parzer. The Alpha Boilers Racing team had mixed results during Tuesday night practice at the Isle of Man TT in preparation for the TT Centenary races. Martin Finnegan had a good run out in fine weather conditions on his Superbike and Supersport machines. “The Superbike feels really good,” he said, “I went out for one lap and came back in to make some adjustments and then went back out. I was fifth fastest overall and the problems we had at the North West all seem to have been solved. The conditions were prefect last night, on my very last lap there was a little bit of rain but it was ok.” Finnegan also put in one lap on the smaller machine. He said, “The 600 is pretty well set up so I’m not spending much time on it but I’m planning on taking all my bikes out again tonight. I just hope the good weather stays for practice.” His sidecar team-mates didn’t have such a good night with a technical problem leaving them stranded at the Sulby Straight for the entire session. “When we started I knew in the first few moments that there was something wrong,” said Klaffenbock, “We had a leak from the fuel pipe and it was landing on the exhaust. I was worried that the sidecar would catch on fire.” Klaffi pulled in on the first lap on the Sulby Straight where some local people helped him repair the sidecar but is was not possible to continue at a competitive speed so they had to wait until the end of the practice and ride back to the pits. More, from a press release issued by Steve Plater’s publicist: STEVE PLATER MAKES TT DEBUT Road Racing expert Steve Plater has made his debut appearance at this year’s centenary TT races, taking part in three evening practise sessions so far this week. Saturday saw Steve, from Woodhall Spa in Lincolnshire, lead the TT newcomers off on a controlled speed lap behind the travelling marshal and after that he rode the AIM Yamaha around at his own pace to begin his familiarisation of the 37.73-mile public roads course that winds around the Island, through towns and villages, and over the heights of Snaefell Mountain. “We managed to get in four laps in all, three on the Supersport bike and one on the Superstock,” said Steve. “It was an enjoyable experience but a little frustrating at times. I took my time, taking it nice and steady, finding some parts really comfortable but was a little inaccurate in others, especially the Mountain section which I found was definitely the most difficult to learn.” Timed practise began on Monday evening but the weather conditions were unpredictable preventing him from getting anywhere near the pace he wanted. Steve posted some respectable times on all three machines, Superbike, Superstock and Supersport and continued to learn his way around the course, gaining confidence with every outing. Conditions on Tuesday evening were perfect and the Steve took advantage of the warmer and dry weather to gain as much experience as possible. He began the evening with two laps on the AIM Yamaha R6 Supersport bike improving his lap time to 116.555mph before taking the Superstock bike around the course for a lap, again improving his times in that class to 113.728mph. Finally he hopped onto the Superbike and posted a faster lap of 116.687mph to provisionally claim the fastest newcomer title after two sessions in both the Superbike and Supersport classes. “I followed Bruce Anstey around for a while on the Superbike in an effort to learn different sections of the course and was out again on Wednesday at 6.30am in the car going through a few sections I am not too happy with,” explained Steve. “But overall I am going well, we have tried a few different settings on all three machines to enable me to feel a little more comfortable on the roughest sections of the course and will implement those next time out.” Wednesday evening’s practise was not looking good as the weather forecast was for rain and mist on the mountain. This proved to be the case and by 4.30pm the practise session was called off. If weather conditions improve Steve will be out again on Thursday and Friday evening for the final two sessions before taking to the track under race conditions for the first time on Saturday in the 6-lap Superbike TT race starting at noon weather permitting!

INSIDE MOTORCYCLES SPONSORS POLE POSITION AWARD TORONTO, ON Inside Motorcycles, Canada’s source for motorcycle news, has expanded its support of the Parts Canada Superbike Championship by sponsoring the pole position award in the headline Superbike class. The Inside Motorcycles Pole Position Award will go to the fastest Superbike qualifier at each round of this year’s Parts Canada Superbike Championship. The award winner will be presented with a cheque for $500 on the grid before the start of each race. Pole position also carries valuable points to the season-long Parts Canada Superbike Championship, with the fastest qualifier receiving four points. Second in qualifying is worth three points, third fastest gets two points and the fourth fastest qualifier picks up one point. The magazine will also continue its sponsorship of the year-end Team of the Year Award, which goes to the Superbike team judged to have performed the best in terms of bike preparation and technical excellence during the Parts Canada Superbike season. “We have been very proud supporters of the Parts Canada Superbike Championship for a decade now,” said David Weber, managing editor of Inside Motorcycles. “We are excited to strengthen our relationship with the series and to have our name associated with the Pole Position Award.” Inside Motorcycles is published by Toronto-based Inside Track Communications, Inc. and was launched in January, 1998. Inside Track has published the Canadian Superbike Championship’s official series program on 10 occasions, the first in 1997, and has been involved in a variety of other media and promotional projects with the series and its organizer Professional Motorsports Productions. “The Parts Canada Superbike Championship has had an excellent and long-standing relationship with Inside Motorcycles and Inside Track Communications,” said PMP’s Colin Fraser. “Our series program in 1997 was Inside Track’s first publishing venture, and we see sponsorship of the Pole Position Award as a natural fit. “The qualifying battle in the Superbike class traditionally provides a great deal of excitement and the Pole Position Award is highly-prized by our racers.” The battle for pole position in the Superbike class will take place during the 45-minute Saturday afternoon qualifying session, except at the doubleheader events at Calgary’s Race City Motorsport Park and Mosport International Raceway in Bowmanville, ON. On those two occasions, Friday afternoon qualifying sessions will set the grid for both the Saturday and Sunday Superbike races. At those events a second $500 Inside Motorcycles Pole Position Award will be given to the fastest qualifier in the Yoshimura Pro 600 Sport Bike national support class. The seven-round 2007 Parts Canada Superbike Championship opens this weekend at Le Circuit Mont-Tremblant and will conclude at Shannonville Motorsport Park on the Labour Day Weekend.

KAWASAKI RIDERS CONFIDENT AND READY FOR SEASON OPENER AFTER SUCCESSFUL PRE SEASON TESTS May 29, 2007. Following two exemplary pre-season test sessions, the Canadian Kawasaki Factory Road Race Team is set to defend their Yoshimura PRO600 title and the Parts Canada Superbike Championship. Look for the Kawasaki team at the front of the pack as Round 1 of the 2007 season gets underway May 31st at Le-Circuit Mont Tremblant. The Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R and the all new ZX-6R have been pounding the pavement at pre-season testing in the USA and more recently at Shannonville Motorsport Park, Ontario. Last season’s champion, 28 year old Brantford, Ontario native Jordan Szoke and his new team-mate, 15 year old Brett “The Kid” McCormick of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan have looked extremely sharp. Szoke won the Superbike Feature event of the R.A.C.E. Super Series at Shannonville during the Victoria Day weekend aboard the ZX-10R while McCormick impressed many by staying with the lead pack and finishing fourth. In the Parts Canada Pro 600 Sport Bike race Szoke, the number 1 plate in the 600cc category, grabbed an early lead piloting the ZX-6R and claimed second position. McCormick was once again near the front but mechanical gremlins forced him to slow down and yet still finished an impressive fourth. Kawasaki Team Manager, Jeff Comello was more than satisfied with the pre-season testing program and is excited about the prospects for the upcoming event at Mont-Tremblant. “The Shannonville test really couldn’t have gone much better. We lowered both our 600cc and Superbike race times despite less than optimal conditions. In fact, both riders were lapping just above the lap record pace!” Comello commented, “Szoke’s Superbike race win at Shannonville was a great way to end our testing, but the ultimate goal for the past couple of months has been to gather as much data as possible. At our first test Jordan was working through a lot of different chassis / geometry settings, brake pad compounds, and suspension set ups. We were pleased to be able to test on the Shannonville Pro Circuit prior to the final round in September as this track isn’t one of Jordan’s favorites, but you can see comfort level has increased as reflected in his lap times.” “As for Brett, he is already showing why he’s a Factory Kawasaki rider. His times were fast right from our first test at Jennings and at Shannonville he was able to easily run with the lead pack of riders. He’s doing absolutely incredible and we’re very happy with his progress,” continued Comello. Last year’s national at Mont Tremblant was a memorable one for both Szoke and McCormick. Szoke won both the Superbike and Pro 600 races, while McCormick picked up the Amateur 600 Sport Bike win. According to Comello, the Canadian Kawasaki Factory Road Race Team have a well refined package and are as driven as ever. “We expect the new ZX-6R is going to shine at the first event. Mont-Tremblant is a high-speed flowing track and the ZX-6R should provide our riders with the speed and handling to succeed. The machine has done well in the U.S. and Europe so we’re looking to perform just as strongly.” You can follow the series all year long and get more information at www.kawasakiracing.ca. In addition, all seven races on the schedule will be broadcast on TSN.
