Great Britons

20-05-2013

Dani Pedrosa was the first rider to win two MotoGP races this year, but it was Britain's Cal Crutchlow who stole the show in round 4 at Le Mans in France with a storming career best ride to 2nd place after yet another bone crunching crash in practice. And Scott Redding finally took his much expected first Moto2 win after a poor start from the front row saw him battle to the front in difficult conditions to dominate until the red flag came out and the race was declared with two laps remaining.

MONZA MAYHEM

12-05-2013

Beautiful and historic Monza Park was filled with the noise of screaming World Superbikes travelling at over 208 mph for round 4 of the series. In a blanket race one finish, Marco Melandri edged over the line from Tom Sykes and Eugene Laverty. But in race 2 controversy saw 3rd finisher Sykes moved to 4th after he crossed a chicane boundary on the last lap and was protested by Sylvain Guintoli's Aprilia team. The penalty was reversed on appeal and meant that the final result was Laverty from Melandri and Sykes. But the real drama was in the World Supersports race. After 3 red flag situations it was moved to later in the day, but was worth the wait. After the much fancied and more powerful Kawasaki throng lost their leader as Kenan Sofuoglu fell at Lesmo 2, it was a dog fight that eventually went to Sam Lowes on a clearly slower Yamaha. Fortune favours the brave and Lowes now leads the world! Next stop, Donington Park in 2 weeks.

MotoGP of Wales ?

01-05-2013

The Circuit of Wales project in South Wales is picking up momentum. The prospect of a MotoGP homologated track in beautiful countryside accessed by fantastic roads is mouthwatering! I visited the site yesterday and it's not hard to see what a fantastic opportunity this project is for Wales and motorsport fans!
