Yamaha MotoGP Team Fires Back At Altadis

YAMAHA DENIES ALTADIS’ WRONGFUL STATEMENTS On January 9, 2006 Altadis abruptly announced that it had initiated arbitration proceedings against Yamaha arising out of an alleged breach by Yamaha of the two companies’ sponsorship agreement for Yamaha’s factory racing team. Yamaha would like to clarify several points in light of Altadis’ wrongful statements. First, Yamaha no longer has any sponsorship agreement with Altadis, as the previous sponsorship agreement was terminated in all respects for the 2006 season. Second, Yamaha strongly denies that it has ever breached its previous sponsorship agreement with Altadis. Third, in the absence of any agreement in force between Altadis and Yamaha, there exists no legal obligation preventing Yamaha from contracting with a tobacco sponsor or any other sponsor for the 2006 season. Yamaha deplores the fact that Altadis’ unreasonable actions have frustrated Yamaha’s good-faith efforts to resolve this matter in an amicable fashion, and has seen fit to make its unmerited allegations in a public forum. To date, Yamaha has not been notified of any Request for Arbitration from Altadis. In any event, Yamaha will defend its rights vigorously, and reserves the rights to claim both pecuniary damages and declaratory relief with respect to the wrong and disparaging statements made by Altadis and the harm wilfully caused by its frivolous conduct, for the sake of Yamaha and all of its fans and supporters worldwide who continue to support and sustain the MotoGP sport and Yamaha’s MotoGP factory racing team.

Gauloises Seeking Arbitration, Compensation For Yamaha’s Alleged Breach Of Sponsorship Agreement

ALTADIS REQUESTS ARBITRATION TO RESOLVE ITS DISPUTE WITH YAMAHA Altadis has initiated arbitration proceedings, seeking substantial compensation from Yamaha for the damages arising out of what Altadis considers to be a material breach by Yamaha of the two companies’ two-year sponsorship agreement. Altadis seeks both pecuniary damages and declaratory relief with respect to particular obligations that Altadis maintains have survived the termination of the parties’ contractual relationship. Altadis has requested an urgent decision in this regard, in the nature of an interim order obligating Yamaha to refrain from collaborating with any sponsor whose products compete directly with Altadis products for the coming season. Altadis regrets that the negotiations to define the terms of a settlement that would have resolved the dispute without the need to resort to arbitration have proved fruitless.

Australian Caldecott Killed During Stage Nine Of Dakar Rally

Australian Repsol KTM rider Andy Caldecott fatally crashed on the 9th stage of the Dakar (Nouakchott Kiffa). The accident happened directly after the day off. This information has totally shocked us, we’re at a loss for words. The terrible accidents in the past 2 years caused us to start with mixed feelings and question our rally engagement. The presenters of the Dakar have tried to make the rally safer together with several manufacturers. A tempo limit has been adopted, a GPS system which enables each rider to be located and to allow him to communicate with the presenter. Riders can have more rests now due to shorter tank stops. A pretty sportive rally until yesterday’s day of rest eclipsed the pain of the past – today we were brutally pulled out of our dream to make this rally safe. Our thoughts are with Andy and his family. KTM Motorsport

Stroud Holds On To New Zealand Superbike Championship Lead With Win At Teretonga Raceway

Australia’s most successful Superbike rider, Suzuki’s Shawn Giles, is keeping the New Zealand Superbike Championship lead in his sights after racing to second place at the weekend’s Suzuki-dominated third round at Teretonga Raceway. Having not ridden this South Island circuit for over a decade, Giles was impressively quick to re-acquaint himself with the track layout, securing second place on the grid behind local hero Andrew Stroud. Giles and fellow GSX-R1000 rider Stroud were the only riders to dip under the one-minute barrier in Saturday’s qualifying session around the 2.570km circuit. Difficult and uncertain weather conditions for race one were highlighted by the series’ three leading contenders making vastly different tyres choices with Stroud running dry tyres, Giles on intermediate Dunlops and fellow Suzuki rider, Ray Clee opting for full wets. Giles’ decision paid dividends as he headed the field on lap two with Stroud in hot pursuit and he held him at bay for the majority of the race until a minor error allowed Stroud an opportunity to slip by, relegating Giles to second. The leading pair was only separated by a couple of bike lengths and crossed the finish line at the end of lap nine more than six seconds clear of third place. Race two was contested in full wet conditions and after making a strong start, Giles slipped back into an unfamiliar fifth place on the opening lap and was unable to regain track position in the wintry 10-lap battle. Fellow Australian, Suzuki privateer Scott Charlton, was the surprise package for race two, challenging Stroud from the start and eventually assuming the lead on lap four before extending his lead to almost five and a half seconds at the flag. Race three was cancelled due to torrential rain making it unsafe to continue with the meeting. Passing the half-way point in the series, Suzuki’s continued domination sees the internationally renowned GSXR-1000 hold the top four places. Said Giles: “In the first race there was only a very thin dry line and I ran a little wide coming on to the back section of the track – the track was so wet and slippery and that gave Andrew Stroud the opportunity he needed to get past me. “The weather conditions were wicked here this weekend, but we still managed to strengthen our position in second place. Now we just have to push hard in the next two rounds and hope that ‘Stroudie’ offers us an opportunity to close in on the championship lead.” Giles faces his next trans-Tasman challenge in Timaru on January 13-15th for the penultimate round of the New Zealand Superbike Championship. Championship Points: (after round 3 of 5): 1. Andrew Stroud (Suzuki) 177, 2. Shawn Giles (Suzuki) 141, 3. Ray Clee (Suzuki) 122, 4. Scott Charlton (Suzuki) 119, 5. Jared Love 81, 6. Dean Fulton 72, 7. Chris Haldane 67, 8. Jon Lowther 60, 9. Jason McEwen 56, 10. Michael Smith 46.
