Rea Scores Sensational Double Win For KRT In Thailand
|
5 comment(s)
Jonathan Rea (KRT) scored two emphatic race wins in the first ever WSBK races at the Chang International Circuit and in doing so left the new venue with a ten point championship lead. Tom Sykes (KRT) scored his first podium of the year with third place in race one and is now third in the championship rankings.
The first 20-lap race of the day belonged to Rea from green light to chequered flag, as the Superpole winner became race one winner after setting an unbeatable race pace in the 1’34s for almost the whole race duration.

The Aruba.it Racing – Ducati Superbike Team to line up on rows two and three of the grid with Davies and Bayliss in tomorrow’s SBK races at Buriram
|
5 comment(s)
This morning’s final timed practice session took place in surprisingly wet conditions. Despite rain both prior to, and during the session, several riders took to the track briefly to test out rain settings, but qualification for Superpole was of course established by times set yesterday in dry conditions. Both Davies and Bayliss thus qualified directly for Superpole 2, in third and seventh place respectively.
Superpole 2: in dry conditions, the two factory riders completed a first lap on the race tyre. The times recorded saw Chaz lying third and Troy ninth in the initial stages. With the risk of rain looming over the pits, almost all riders were straight back out on track with the qualifying tyre, Chaz and Troy included. Davies completed a very fast first lap, in 1’34.087, followed by a second lap that was another three thousandths of a second quicker. A 1’34.084 thus assured the Welshman of final sixth position. Although Troy made just one flying lap with the qualifier (1’34.334), it was enough to place him in overall seventh position. The Aruba.it Racing – Ducati Superbike Team riders will therefore line up on the second and third rows of the grid for tomorrow’s two 20-lap races.
Two Superpole Wins From Two Races For Rea And KRT

Kawasaki Racing Team rider Jonathan Rea rode his Ninja ZX-10R to his second pole position start of the season by setting a new track best of 1’33.382 near the end of the second Superpole session. Tom Sykes (KRT) placed fourth and will now lead the second row of starters for Sunday’s races.
Having set a very fast lap in his first outing in Superpole 2, Rea was subsequently overtaken for a time but he made a successful late attempt to start from the best possible position and it put him out in front for the second time in as many WSBK meetings.

Pirelli gets back to work together with the teams and riders for the 2015 season
|
3 comment(s)
The top-level motorcycle racing season is back. The eni FIM World Superbike Championship is back – this year in its 28th edition – and once again Pirelli will be the Official Sole Supplier of tyres for all categories. The Italian tyre manufacturer, after winning the Dorna and International Motorcycling Federation contract last September, will for the twelfth year in a row (and through 2018) be working alongside all the teams and riders to accompany them through a season which will doubtless once again provide excitement and entertainment for all two-wheel enthusiasts who will be watching with bated breath down to the last turn, cheering on their heroes.
To open up the 2015 season, the setting will once again be the spectacular Phillip Island circuit, located in southern Australia on the Island of the same name, 150 kilometres south of Melbourne, in Victoria. The first round of the season will be held from 20 to 22 February, but the teams will actually already be on the track with Pirelli on Monday and Tuesday for the usual official tests that precede the beginning of the season. Like every round, Pirelli will be bringing various front and rear solutions for the Superbike and Supersport riders. For Phillip Island there will be several development solutions developed specifically for this circuit which notoriously is one of the most demanding track on an international level for tyre manufacturers.

Sergei Bednaruk: Russia's WSBK debut successful
Sergei Bednaruk, commentator for Russia's first-ever World Superbike Championship (WSBK) event on the Moscow Raceway track, answers questions and shares his impressions of the racing weekend with Motonews.ru readers.
Sergei, the WSBK championship has finally come to Russia. What’s your take on the first-ever Russian WSBK round?
A WSBK round held in Russia is certainly a historical event and an important step to becoming part of international races. Six years ago, when I took my first steps as the World Superbike commentator on 7TV, a Russian round was hardly feasible. I can remember very well what WSBK’s chief promoter, Maurizio Flammini, said to me in Portimao four years ago: “We will hold a WSBK round in Russia as soon as it has a suitable track.” They kept that promise: just a month and a half after its official opening, Moscow Raceway – Russia's first track to meet global standards – hosted a WSBK round. We have to give credit to Yakhnich Motorsport for that, for this glorious event would never have become possible if not for them.

Revaz Magalashvili on Tissot's latest promo activity in Russia
|
4 comment(s)
Tissot’s brand manager, Revaz Magalashvili, shared his impressions from the Russian WSBK round and filled Motonews.ru in on the Swiss brand’s latest promotional activity in Russia.
“This past August was really one of the most important months in 2012 for the brand in terms of big event sponsorships. Throughout the year, we proactively advertised our cooperation with World Superbike, we organized our own motorcycling events and participated in events staged by our partners.
The campaign reached its peak on August 26, when an SBK round was held in Russia for the first time. Tissot sponsored a fan zone in the Superbike Village, featuring a watch exhibition open for all visitors throughout the SBK weekend, competitions, exciting shows, and a performance by the rock band Lyapis Trubetskoy.
It was especially rewarding since all fan zone guests showed interest in Tissot watches, and we are already seeing a rise in sales.
I would like to take the opportunity to thank, on behalf of our company, everyone involved in organizing the WSBK round. The event was really up to the best international standards! We were also very delighted to see our brand’s friend, Yakhnich Motorsport rider Vladimir Leonov, win third place. We sincerely congratulate Vladimir on his medal, and wish him more glorious victories in the future!
As soon as the Moscow Superbike round was over, our stand relocated to the Moscow International Automobile Salon. This year, we presented our exposition in partnership with Chrysler Group LLC (Fiat, Jeep, Chrysler brands). Our stand featured Tissot’s sports collections dedicated to car and motorcycle sports. Several times a day during the Salon week, Tissot presented a unique show bringing together the Tissot, Fiat, Jeep, and Chrysler brands, and showing how to really make the moment last… Vladimir Leonov even paid a visit to our stand as an honorary guest.”
Denis Alexandrov: Vespa scooters enjoy stable demand

The recent Russian round of the World Superbike Championship was not merely a superb show.
In one way or another, any global racing event brings the motorcycle sport into the spotlight and captures the attention of even those who never before pictured themselves riding a motorcycle. With that in mind, expansion-focused companies typically seek to make a statement during major shows, exhibitions and contests.
Sumeko, an official distributor of several premium-segment European brands, such as Aprilia, Vespa, Piaggio, Gilera, Moto Guzzi, Scarabeo, and Derbi, presented its products during the World Superbike Championship in the SBK Village at the Moscow Raceway track. Quite unexpectedly, even one of the Aprilia Racing riders, Eugene Laverty, turned up smiling at the Sumeko stand before the race for an autograph and a photo session with his fans.

Leonov keeps his fingers crossed for Misano
One lap. No more than one lap on Saturday free practice in Donington Park, and the Vladimir Leonov fifth stage of WSS is finished. He entered the circuit with a good smile. First practice was good, and instead of the stone that broken the radiator and obliged him to stay in the box for more than 20 minutes, in only three fast laps he signed a promising 10th position. During the night mechanics prepared the bike to fits his request even better, and a significantly better performance was possible for Vladimir and Yakhnich Motorsport Yamaha R6.
But for some reasons destiny decided it wasn’t our weekend. Vladimir entered the circuit, made is flying lap, and just when he was starting the first full lap, at corner 3, suddenly he loose the rear tyre and a terrible high side was the end of his week-end.

Fabio Alberti: having the chance to rule a team is something I could not help dreaming about...
Ducati Liberty Racing team manager, Fabio Alberti kindly agreed to answer some questions for Motonews.ru, told about preparation for new WSBK season, and also why he switched from MotoGP to WSBK...
- What about preparations for a new WSBK season?
- The preparation for a new season is the hardest work in a team. Everything has to be set up. We are working hard in Prague in our race department, where we have to build up the new bike that is coming out just now, from Ducati factory, and then we are going to close with new sponsors, technical partners and so on. We also decided to check and follow up our riders with their training, nutrition and medical check, giving them good advices after consulting with highly professional experts.
WE are leaving for Australia on February 9 and until that day we will be working as crazy.

WSBK may come to Russia
|
4 comment(s)
The World Superbike (WSBK) racing championship is becoming more Europe-oriented.
The WSBK 2011 calendar still has two rounds to go, and both of them will be held far from Europe and require long trips – one to Australia’s Phillip Island and the other to the U.S. track at Miller Motorsports Park.
Rumor has it that the championship’s management is actively looking for new tracks, and one of the requirements is that the trip to them would not call for long-hour flights.
