Czech Grand Prix, Brno, 20/21/22 August – Preview

DUCATI MARLBORO MEN GO BACK TO WORK AT BRNO

The MotoGP circus returns from its summer recess at Brno rested, relaxed and ready to launch into the final seven events of the thrill-packed 2004 MotoGP World Championship. Czech Grand Prix is an important race for everyone on the grid, but especially for Ducati Marlboro Team riders Loris Capirossi and Troy Bayliss who are aiming to maintain the momentum they had built during the last few GPs before the holidays. At last month’s British GP both men qualified their Desmosedici GP4s inside the top four and also proved their potential in the race, Capirossi leading for the first time this year, Bayliss lapping within 0.15 seconds of the new Donington Park lap record. Their improving pace follows the recent introduction of Ducati’s new and rider-friendly Twin Pulse engine.

“We are now as competitive as we were last year,” says Ducati Marlboro Team director Livio Suppo. “I think we can genuinely feel proud of the way in which we recovered from a difficult start to our 2004 season. If you consider that the other top factories have improved their bikes since the first race, that shows we have improved even more. Troy’s lap times at Donington showed that we are right there in terms of absolute performance, so we are really looking forward to Brno and the remainder of the season. Last year at Brno we had out most competitive race – both Troy and Loris were in the hunt for victory and we aim to be part of the show again.”

Ducati Marlboro Team technical director Corrado Cecchinelli is confident of a good weekend in the Czech Republic. “Brno is a flowing track, which suits our bike,” says Cecchinelli. “In fact our 2004 machine is now a more balanced than last year’s bike, so I think it should suit every track from now on. At Brno you need a lot of confidence in the front end, because there are a lot of downhill corners with negative camber. You also need a bike that can change direction quickly, because there are a lot of esses.”

CAPIROSSI LOOKS FORWARD TO ‘HARMONIC’ BRNO
Loris Capirossi qualified on the front row at last month’s British GP, his first time up front so far this year and therefore a major confidence boost for the Ducati Marlboro Team man. Now Capirossi wants to develop that top-three qualifying performance into his first top-three finish of 2004. Last year at Brno Capirossi battled for the lead until a minor electrical fault ended his charge in the closing stages of the race. Over the years the epic Czech track has offered mixed fortunes to the Italian – he has scored Brno podium finishes in the 125, 250 and premier class but he’s never won a race at the circuit.

“I like this track very much because it is quite fast and very technical,” he says. “It is a ‘harmonic’ track, where your riding needs to flow. The race will be a big event for us because since we got the Twin Pulse engine at Assen we have shown that we are very fast. The first part of season was really hard but now Troy and I are happy with bike. I can’t wait for the race. I am now rested after that crazy schedule of six races over eight weekends in June and July. During the holidays I have done nothing! We went to Italy for a few days, to see my parents near Imola and then Ingrid’s parents in Trieste, then back to Monaco, just resting at home and in my boat.”

BAYLISS CAN’T WAIT FOR A SHOT AT BRNO PODIUM
Ducati Marlboro Team rider Troy Bayliss had his best ride of 2003 at Brno, leading rivals Valentino Rossi and Sete Gibernau for half the race, eventually finishing third, just 0.6 seconds down on winner Rossi. No wonder the Australian is looking forward to returning to the high-speed venue.

“I liked Brno pretty much straight away when I first tested there last year,” says Bayliss. “It’s pretty fast and very wide, with a few corners you can’t really see until you’re on them. I guess you could say it’s a little like Phillip Island, because it’s flowing, so it keeps the bikes together and makes for good racing. There’s a few tracks where you’ve got to have a lot of confidence in the front, and this is one of them because there’s a lot of negative camber turns. There’s also a lot of second-gear corners but overall it’s pretty fast. I can’t wait to get back there. After Donington I know I can race up front and I’ve been training hard over the break, so I can come back strong at Brno. But apart from the training I’ve just been kicking back with the family in Monaco, plus we had a week’s holiday in Majorca.”

THE TRACK
Brno is a masterpiece of a motorcycle racing circuit. Constructed in the mid-eighties it eschews the modern fashion of tight turns and hairpins for a mighty mix of fast sweepers and undulating corners that test rider talent and machine performance to the limit. Most riders love the place because it’s challenging and also because it’s pretty fast.

But Brno’s most significant characteristic is its constant changes of elevation – the circuit weaves its way across forested hillsides outside the Czech Republic’s second city – which means that many of the turns are steeply cambered. Dealing with negative-camber corners requires a perfectly set-up machine, deft riding skills and especially crucial input from Michelin’s tyre engineers. Horsepower is also a major consideration at Brno because this is one racetrack where MotoGP bikes, usually caged in by slower venues, really get moving.

Home Ground Advantage For Nikon Yamaha Factory Racing Team

The sixth round of the 2004 Shell Advance Australian Superbike Championship descends on Queensland Raceway at Willowbank this weekend (August 13-15). It’s shaping as make or break for the series leader with the meeting doubling as the home event for the Nikon Yamaha Factory Racing Team that is based on the Gold Coast.

Currently, both Nikon Yamaha Factory Racing Team riders, Shannon Johnson and Daniel Stauffer sit in second and fourth positions respectively in the championship chase, the duo determined to increase the team win rate and hope to improve on their performance from the previous round when Johnson won his first Superbike race and both shared a spot on the podium.

Although, on paper, the layout of the track looks pretty straightforward with five straights it’s anything but a walk in the park. Queensland Raceway is notoriously hard on riders and particularly their machines and tyres.

They are either accelerating extremely hard or trying desperately to wash of speed for the critical turns to pull up the awesome Nikon Yamaha YZF-R1’s.

Setup is super critical as the machines are under extreme stress at both ends of the scale but the team is confident that they have the package to take advantage of the nuances of the Queensland track with the expert technicians sure to create a little magic at the meeting.

Long term Nikon Yamaha rider Daniel Stauffer is fully recovered from his shoulder injury and buoyed by his very impressive performance in the most prestigious endurance race in the world at the Suzuka 8-hour on a Yamaha R1 two weeks ago will be keen to return to the winners circle to add to his three wins this year.

Keeping him on his toes will be Johnson who now has the monkey off his back after winning his first Superbike race and backed it up with further top three finishes at the previous round held at Mallala in South Australia

In his first full year on a Superbike, Shannon has definitely found his feet and is now right at home aboard the potent Nikon Yamaha YZF-R1. At the recent unofficial Superbike test at the circuit Shannon was the fastest rider so will naturally be keen to maintain his superiority.

Shannon is confident he can pull back some points in the title race and both riders are determined to ensure that the championship goes to the wire at the final round at Phillip Island next month as there are 152 points are up for grabs over the two rounds.

Riders don’t need any incentive to win but, this weekend Shannon can consolidate and improve on his second place while Daniel can move into third spot overall if the cards are dealt their way guaranteeing that both will not be satisfied with anything but victory.

Nikon Yamaha Factory Racing Team Manager put the team’s chances in perspective saying , “it is a tall order to bridge the gap but it can be done and we have the riders and team that can do it. Obviously I want both Shannon and Daniel to grab a few more wins but after so many years involved in racing the only thing that I have come to expect is the unexpected and events of this year have proved that theory yet again.”

In the Supersport class, Brendan Clarke is aiming to put in a superlative effort at his home track. The Brisbane teenage holds the Supersport lap record at Queensland Raceway and will not be giving it up without a fight.

Like his teammate, Shannon, on the Superbikes, Brendan was the quickest rider in the Supersport class during the practice session with other teams that and is keen to use that as a springboard to a return to form that he has demonstrated many times in the past.

2004 Shell Advance Australian Superbike Championships after five (of seven) rounds:
1 A Fergusson (Honda) 285pts; 2 Shannon Johnson (Nikon Yamaha YZF-R1) 197; 3 S Giles (Suzuki) 193; 4 Daniel Stauffer (Nikon Yamaha YZF-R1) 150. 5 J Brookes (Honda) 139.

New Course Layout For Motorcycles at Daytona International Speedway

PICKERINGTON, Ohio (Aug. 12, 2004) — For the sixth time since motorcycles began racing at Daytona International Speedway, competitors will compete on a reconfigured course beginning with next year’s Daytona 200 Bike Week, it was announced today.

The new configuration will exclude NASCAR Turns 1 and 2 and will shorten the course to approximately 3.0 miles. The previous length of the motorcycle course was 3.56 miles. The Daytona 200 By Arai, scheduled for Saturday, March 12, will now be 67 laps instead of 57.



Since 1961, when motorcycles began competing at DIS, the course configuration has changed five times with distances varying from 2 miles to 3.87 miles. This is the first change since 1985.

The infield portion of the course has also been altered with the exit of the infield now located after NASCAR Turn 2.

“After each event, we discuss with the various sanctioning bodies what we can do to make our events better for our competitors and fans,” Speedway President Robin Braig said. “The changes in the road course for motorcycles will still provide the exceptional motorcycle racing for which Daytona International Speedway is famous for.”

“The reconfiguration underway at Daytona International Speedway is an example of what can happen when a track and sanctioning body proactively work together to create positive change,” said AMA Pro Racing CEO, Scott Hollingsworth. “Beginning in December of last year, we’ve been discussing what was necessary for the long term health of motorcycle racing at Daytona International Speedway. This reconfiguration, along with some additional changes that will be announced in the coming days are the result of that dialogue.”

Officials from AMA Pro Racing confirmed that rider involvement will be a valuable part of the construction process.

“It’s important to us that our competitors are involved with this project so the plan is to bring them to Daytona at the appropriate time to provide input,” Hollingsworth said.

2005 AMA Pro Racing events kick off on Wednesday, March 9 with practice and qualifying at the Speedway and the AMA Hot Shoe Series Championship at Daytona Beach Municipal Stadium.

AMA Pro Racing practice, qualifying and support races continue on Thursday, March 10 along with the AMA Progressive Insurance Flat Track Championship at Daytona Beach Municipal Stadium.

For the second straight year, the Daytona Supercross By Honda will be held under the lights on Friday night, March 11. The 64th Daytona 200 By Arai is slated for Saturday, March 12.

Tickets and more information for any of the Daytona 200 Bike Week activities are available online at http://www.daytonainternationalspeedway.com or by calling 1-800-PITSHOP.

From a press release issued by Fairchild Sports:

Fairchild Sports (formerly Intersport Fashions West, Inc.), the exclusive North American distributor of Held gloves and the manufacturer, Held GmbH of Burgberg, Germany is issuing this news release to set the record straight on claims of poor quality of Held product reportedly being made by the former Held distributor.

The Held product line is renowned as the world’s highest quality glove collection, with material selection, manufacturing standards and individual inspection to the highest of Held’s German specifications. For the past 8 years, including 6 years prior to Fairchild Sports/IFW becoming the distributor, Held gloves have been manufactured in the same Held-owned factories in Hungary or associate factories in Pakistan and China. Material sourcing and final inspection is done in the Held facilities in Burgberg, Germany as it has always been.

According to hearsay, the Held gloves were previously manufactured in Germany when the distributor previous to Fairchild Sports/IFW was involved and now the production has been moved to substandard factories in Asia, with a drop in quality. There is no truth whatsoever to these rumors. The only manufacturing Held has ever done in Germany is custom-sizing gloves, which Fairchild Sports/IFW does not offer. If the former distributor had imported custom-sized Held gloves, they could make the claim of German origin, but not on any regular production glove.

For more information on Held product, dealers can visit www.held-usa.com or call the Fairchild Sports/IFW Customer Service Department at (888)311-5399.

USGPRU National Championship Round 9 Portland International Raceway GP Results

PORTLAND, OR. – August 11, 2002 – The battle for the USGPRU Western Regional Championship ensued this weekend in the heart of the city at Portland International Raceway this weekend. Hosted by the Oregon Motorcycle Road Racing Association, the venue for the Western Regional Championship could not have presented a better battle ground for the USGPRU event surrounded by downtown Portland, the Pacific Ocean, the Columbia River, and Vancouver, Washington.

Nearly 50 racers from as far as Florida, Canada, and Japan flew in for what has heating up to be an intense finale to the West Coast USGPRU Championship. Riders from the South brought the California sunshine with them to warm up the event and yet the electricity in the air over points standings could be cut with a knife.

Qualifying sessions on Saturday for both the 125GP and 250GP events revealed the intense battles to follow during the main events. The top five Qualifying times for the 125GP event were within 1 second placing Josh Herrin on Pole with a 1.16.527 on his Honda RS125. Nobi Iso neglecting to weigh-in was DQ’d and relegated to a last place grid position. 250GP Qualifying subsequently had Iso on Pole with a 1.14.487 with the remainder of row 1 within three tenths of a second.

Herrin, Jake Gwin, Scott McNew, and Mike Orien took the front row for the 125GP event with nineteen riders behind them. As the flag dropped and 23 riders jammed en masse into Turn 1, Iso on his Aprillia RSR125 rocketed to second position to challenge Herrin from the back of the grid. Orien’s hopes of battling with Herrin and Iso were dashed as he low sided in Turn 3 early in the race. McNew on a loaner bike shared several exchanges with Gwin as they battled for third. While Mike McDonough slipped in behind McNew, Steve Wenner charged the field from pit lane having missed the warm up lap to take the fifth spot. A five-way battle ensued for fifth with Wenner, Darrell Baker, Kirk Snell, Phil Krenn, and Brian Ens all in hot pursuit of the lead pack. Multiple exchanges took place with as many as four riders wide going into Turn 7 passing back markers by the eighth lap. Newlywed Britt Arechiga battled with Jonathan Giddens for tenth place. Gwin leading McNew on the tenth lap was disqualified for causing a red flag and calling the 15 lap race short with high side in Turn 4. Iso captured the pole along with Herrin and McNew.

Local racers struggled with the heat as temperatures rose close to 100 degrees for the 250GP event. Iso managed to capture the pole position on Bruce Lind Racing’s Yamaha TZ250 with Wenner on his Honda RS250 along side. Filling out the front row were McNew on his brother’s Honda RS250 and Vincent Rolleri on a Yamaha TZ250. Of 23 entries, only three riders on 125s chose to challenge the 250s on PIR’s high speed track. McNew displayed his signature light-speed launch at the start and led the pack for first two laps. As Wenner and McNew drafted each other for position down the front straight, Iso drafted both of them and catapulted himself from third to first. Rolleri followed closely behind the leaders to hold onto fourth. Mark Watts in the points lead for the Regional 250GP championship and recovering from a recent injury quickly fell behind. A mid pack battle began to develop as John Lee gave chase to Mike Stubbs and Watts from the back of the grid. Joel Manes entertained spectators with a spectacular crash into Turn 1. Wenner miraculously managed to hold off McNew when his handlebar came loose as in the fifth lap. Again the race was called short as a crash in Turn 9 by Joe Pezzente caused a red flag. Rounding out the podium were Iso, Wenner, and McNew, with McNew capturing just 4 additional points to take the West Regional Championship.

The Eastern Regional final Championship round is scheduled at Barber Motorsports Park in Birmingham, Alabama on August 13-15.
