Brit Wins European Stunt Championship In Czech Republic On An American Motorcycle

From Buell:

CRAIG JONES WINS EUROPEAN MOTORCYCLE STUNT CHAMPIONSHIP ABOARD BUELL LIGHTNING X1

Bechyne, Czech Republic– After a nail-biting freestyle shoot-out, professional extreme rider Craig Jones won the 2002 European Motorcycle Stunt Championship aboard his Buell Lightning X1. Judges from 10 different countries had been unable to separate Jones from his old adversary Kevin Carmichael, and ordered both men to ride in another freestyle competition. Under intense pressure, Jones delivered and won the championship.

More than 20,000 motorcycle enthusiasts converged on the Czech Republic for the 2002 European Stunt Championship and witnessed 60 of the world’s finest extreme riders compete for the coveted European title. After a tough qualifying competition involving freestyle and compulsory technical elements, just 12 riders made it through to the final. Jones and Carmichael finished in a tie and then battled it out for the championship laurels.

Jones was understandably delighted to have won the championship and noted his strategy of riding ‘two-up’ with his passenger Wing Chui might have provided him with the decisive edge.

“Wing has been working with me since I turned professional and we’ve developed an intuitive partnership that allows us to push things to the absolute limit on the Buell Lightning X1,” said Jones.

“I think we got the crowd on their feet at vital moments during the competition with a couple of extreme stunts. We performed a front wheel ‘stoppie’ that involved Wing hanging from the front bars and placing his head on the pavement while we were still moving at top speed. Wing wore a motocross style helmet with a titanium modified peak, that created sparks as proof of ground contact.”

Jones said the Buell motorcycles used in the championship played a key part in his victory.
“The Buell Lightning X1 is an awesome motorcycle that copes with everything that I throw at it. I also used a specially prepared Harley-Davidson FXDX Dyna Super Glide Sport with Screamin’ Eagle performance parts that really deliver the power.”

Craig, from Birmingham in the UK, admits that taking part in this year’s championship was at risk after he damaged his wrist the night before the event. He has also been undergoing laser and ultrasound treatment to speed the recovery.

“I used several cans of painkiller spray to make sure the wrist held up during the championship and my body could now do with a short break from competition. However, I’ve got a busy season ahead of me and I’ll be back on my Buell on July 28 to entertain the crowds at the World Superbike round at Brands Hatch in England.”

This year’s championship, which was held at a military base near the town of Bechyne in the Czech Republic, attracted riders from Brazil as well as a strong contingent of local Czech stunt riders. Craig believes the growing popularity of serious competition will have a positive impact on his profession as it is encouraging riders to be even more creative, athletic and daring:

“The riding standards were exceptionally high. A large number of competitors were very strong in the technical disciplines with very precise handling control. We also saw some outrageous examples of skill in the freestyle competition. This means that you’ll see some increasingly spectacular performances from the stunt riding community.

“The guys representing the Eastern European countries deserve a special mention as they’re relatively new to the sport and don’t always get access to sponsorship. There’s some serious talent in Hungary and the Czech Republic and they’ll be a force to be reckoned with in the near future.”

BRITISH GP – DONINGTON

Qualifying No. 1 Friday July 12th 2002

RED HOT DAY FOR HOPKINS ON THE RED BULL


John Hopkins had an amazing afternoon at Donington today, claiming 4th place on the provisional grid for the British GP. Hopkins, who is the youngest permanent Moto GP rider by over 4 years was in dazzling form today, flying onto the front row on his second-last lap. In only the 8th GP of his career this is a truly outstanding performance from the 19-year-old American.

His teammate, Australian Garry McCoy re-acquainted himself with the Yamaha and set the fastest two-stroke top speed of the session. Garry appeared relaxed, fit and strong during the session and showed no signs of pain from his previous leg break.


John Hopkins: 4th – 1:32.523

“This is a dream come true, provisional front row in only my 8th GP. I’ve been working really hard to get to this point and I’m so happy that my family are here to see me at my best yet.

“I felt like I had a little bit more to give in the last lap, I set my best time on the second last lap and on the last lap I got held up by Sete. If I could of got a good run at it, I’m sure I would have been even quicker on my last lap.

“I came to Donington on a Track Day about a month ago with Niall Mackenzie and he really helped me a lot. I rode a Yamaha R1 here in both the wet and dry conditions so I could get a feel for the track and learn my way around, that way I’m productive from the first minute I get on the bike. I’m running the track with Niall again tonight to review my lines again as there is still a lot more I can learn about the track. We’ve got a few more things to try tomorrow but I’m pretty happy with everything.”


Garry McCoy 15th 1:33.754

“My leg and ankle feel fine and I’m not even thinking about it. I’m a little surprised at my times given it’s my first day back, I thought I would have been a bit further behind. Now it’s just a matter of getting up to speed. I tried a qualifying tyre in the last few minutes but it’s been a while since I’ve been in that situation and for one lap you can’t make a mistake.”

Colin Davies (Race Engineer – John Hopkins)
“John got held up on the last lap and I know he could of improved but Sete held him up; the bike is working really well, we’ve got a good race tyre already and I know he has more to come yet. As John gets more time on the circuit he’ll continue to improve.”


Christophe Bourguignon (Race Engineer -Garry McCoy)

“It is a good step forward today and we tried a few various set-ups and tyres. We are now using a new generation Dunlop Tyre and its Garry’s first time riding on these.”


Peter Clifford – Team Manager

“Its great to have Gaz back and good to see him moving the motorcycle around. He obviously just needs a little time to get back to his awesome best. John’s front-row position is magnificent and fractionally under the lap record still held by Simon Crafer on the Dunlop-shod Red Bull Yamaha from ’98.”


More, from a press release issued by Aprilia:
First qualifying session, Laconi 14th best time

Two illustrious riders, Rossi and Ukawa, both fell during the free practice and failed to make the afternoon qualifying. The Cube went through its first paces on the Donington circuit, where some problems of grip made it hard to choose race tyres able to keep up with the enormous power delivery of the engine. The sorties using the qualifying tyres were not so hard and, as the tests were coming to a close, Régis made 14th quickest time.

# 55 Régis Laconi – (MS APRILIA RACING) – 14th – 1:33.598

“I had problems of grip using race tyres, especially round the corners where the bike stays down a lot and the angle puts the tyres under greatest pressure. The bike easily starts to skid and gets hard to control. You can get round this by controlling the bike physically but it’d be pretty hard to keep it up for a whole race. To lessen the effort, I’ve had a shim put on the saddle to bring my riding position slightly forward. I tried other race-tyre solutions – they slip less but they don’t provide the same traction. So we’ve still got lots of work to do to find the right configuration for the race. The qualifying tyres were much better, they give much better grip and we can do some good work to get a fast lap time. There’s still room for improvement.”

Brit Wins European Stunt Championship In Czech Republic On An American Motorcycle

From Buell:

CRAIG JONES WINS EUROPEAN MOTORCYCLE STUNT CHAMPIONSHIP ABOARD BUELL LIGHTNING X1

Bechyne, Czech Republic– After a nail-biting freestyle shoot-out, professional extreme rider Craig Jones won the 2002 European Motorcycle Stunt Championship aboard his Buell Lightning X1. Judges from 10 different countries had been unable to separate Jones from his old adversary Kevin Carmichael, and ordered both men to ride in another freestyle competition. Under intense pressure, Jones delivered and won the championship.

More than 20,000 motorcycle enthusiasts converged on the Czech Republic for the 2002 European Stunt Championship and witnessed 60 of the world’s finest extreme riders compete for the coveted European title. After a tough qualifying competition involving freestyle and compulsory technical elements, just 12 riders made it through to the final. Jones and Carmichael finished in a tie and then battled it out for the championship laurels.

Jones was understandably delighted to have won the championship and noted his strategy of riding ‘two-up’ with his passenger Wing Chui might have provided him with the decisive edge.

“Wing has been working with me since I turned professional and we’ve developed an intuitive partnership that allows us to push things to the absolute limit on the Buell Lightning X1,” said Jones.

“I think we got the crowd on their feet at vital moments during the competition with a couple of extreme stunts. We performed a front wheel ‘stoppie’ that involved Wing hanging from the front bars and placing his head on the pavement while we were still moving at top speed. Wing wore a motocross style helmet with a titanium modified peak, that created sparks as proof of ground contact.”

Jones said the Buell motorcycles used in the championship played a key part in his victory.
“The Buell Lightning X1 is an awesome motorcycle that copes with everything that I throw at it. I also used a specially prepared Harley-Davidson FXDX Dyna Super Glide Sport with Screamin’ Eagle performance parts that really deliver the power.”

Craig, from Birmingham in the UK, admits that taking part in this year’s championship was at risk after he damaged his wrist the night before the event. He has also been undergoing laser and ultrasound treatment to speed the recovery.

“I used several cans of painkiller spray to make sure the wrist held up during the championship and my body could now do with a short break from competition. However, I’ve got a busy season ahead of me and I’ll be back on my Buell on July 28 to entertain the crowds at the World Superbike round at Brands Hatch in England.”

This year’s championship, which was held at a military base near the town of Bechyne in the Czech Republic, attracted riders from Brazil as well as a strong contingent of local Czech stunt riders. Craig believes the growing popularity of serious competition will have a positive impact on his profession as it is encouraging riders to be even more creative, athletic and daring:

“The riding standards were exceptionally high. A large number of competitors were very strong in the technical disciplines with very precise handling control. We also saw some outrageous examples of skill in the freestyle competition. This means that you’ll see some increasingly spectacular performances from the stunt riding community.

“The guys representing the Eastern European countries deserve a special mention as they’re relatively new to the sport and don’t always get access to sponsorship. There’s some serious talent in Hungary and the Czech Republic and they’ll be a force to be reckoned with in the near future.”

BRITISH GP – DONINGTON

Qualifying No. 1 Friday July 12th 2002

RED HOT DAY FOR HOPKINS ON THE RED BULL


John Hopkins had an amazing afternoon at Donington today, claiming 4th place on the provisional grid for the British GP. Hopkins, who is the youngest permanent Moto GP rider by over 4 years was in dazzling form today, flying onto the front row on his second-last lap. In only the 8th GP of his career this is a truly outstanding performance from the 19-year-old American.

His teammate, Australian Garry McCoy re-acquainted himself with the Yamaha and set the fastest two-stroke top speed of the session. Garry appeared relaxed, fit and strong during the session and showed no signs of pain from his previous leg break.


John Hopkins: 4th – 1:32.523

“This is a dream come true, provisional front row in only my 8th GP. I’ve been working really hard to get to this point and I’m so happy that my family are here to see me at my best yet.

“I felt like I had a little bit more to give in the last lap, I set my best time on the second last lap and on the last lap I got held up by Sete. If I could of got a good run at it, I’m sure I would have been even quicker on my last lap.

“I came to Donington on a Track Day about a month ago with Niall Mackenzie and he really helped me a lot. I rode a Yamaha R1 here in both the wet and dry conditions so I could get a feel for the track and learn my way around, that way I’m productive from the first minute I get on the bike. I’m running the track with Niall again tonight to review my lines again as there is still a lot more I can learn about the track. We’ve got a few more things to try tomorrow but I’m pretty happy with everything.”


Garry McCoy 15th 1:33.754

“My leg and ankle feel fine and I’m not even thinking about it. I’m a little surprised at my times given it’s my first day back, I thought I would have been a bit further behind. Now it’s just a matter of getting up to speed. I tried a qualifying tyre in the last few minutes but it’s been a while since I’ve been in that situation and for one lap you can’t make a mistake.”

Colin Davies (Race Engineer – John Hopkins)
“John got held up on the last lap and I know he could of improved but Sete held him up; the bike is working really well, we’ve got a good race tyre already and I know he has more to come yet. As John gets more time on the circuit he’ll continue to improve.”


Christophe Bourguignon (Race Engineer -Garry McCoy)

“It is a good step forward today and we tried a few various set-ups and tyres. We are now using a new generation Dunlop Tyre and its Garry’s first time riding on these.”


Peter Clifford – Team Manager

“Its great to have Gaz back and good to see him moving the motorcycle around. He obviously just needs a little time to get back to his awesome best. John’s front-row position is magnificent and fractionally under the lap record still held by Simon Crafer on the Dunlop-shod Red Bull Yamaha from ’98.”


More, from a press release issued by Aprilia:
First qualifying session, Laconi 14th best time

Two illustrious riders, Rossi and Ukawa, both fell during the free practice and failed to make the afternoon qualifying. The Cube went through its first paces on the Donington circuit, where some problems of grip made it hard to choose race tyres able to keep up with the enormous power delivery of the engine. The sorties using the qualifying tyres were not so hard and, as the tests were coming to a close, Régis made 14th quickest time.

# 55 Régis Laconi – (MS APRILIA RACING) – 14th – 1:33.598

“I had problems of grip using race tyres, especially round the corners where the bike stays down a lot and the angle puts the tyres under greatest pressure. The bike easily starts to skid and gets hard to control. You can get round this by controlling the bike physically but it’d be pretty hard to keep it up for a whole race. To lessen the effort, I’ve had a shim put on the saddle to bring my riding position slightly forward. I tried other race-tyre solutions – they slip less but they don’t provide the same traction. So we’ve still got lots of work to do to find the right configuration for the race. The qualifying tyres were much better, they give much better grip and we can do some good work to get a fast lap time. There’s still room for improvement.”
