Moto2 test: onboard with Vladimir Leonov in Almeria

Motonews.ru is pleased to publish the video clips from the final test rides in Spain. Several teams got together in Spain on December 14-15, 2009. They are all set to compete in the newly introduced 600cc Moto2 class in 2010. They spent two days trying out various types of tyres and adjusting their prototypes.

Vladimir Leonov was seen on the track several times with his team mate Stefan Bradl. Overall, both pilots looked very happy with the new chassis developed by Swiss-based Suter Racing, regardless of the consistent trouble with so-called chattering, or severe vibrations, which could cause a tumble.

Test drive: Yamaha V-Max 2009 stands firm in collision

The legendary V-Max bike of the year-2009 collection was officially presented by the Yamaha concern as early as June 2008, but the supplies were only launched last November. This is precisely why the chiseled macho draws the attention of the Moscow public both day and night.

Unfortunately, as Motonews.ru was test driving the bike, it got hit by a car. So, the provided photos are more like the site of accident materials. Fortunately, however, the heavy (310km) Yamaha V-Max managed to withstand the crash quite well and it didn’t roll over.
