Marc Marquez Look to Get Even in Front of Home Crowd

Valentino Rossi finally managed to dominate all the riders at Misano after a long time, as the doctor won the 13th MotoGP round without facing much trouble. However, many believe that Rossi was able to register that victory because reigning MotoGP World Champion Marc Marquez lost his momentum after crashing his bike when he was chasing him. The Honda rider said that he committed the first mistake of the season at Misano which forced him to finish the race in 15th place. Therefore, now Marquez will definitely be looking to strike back in the next round of the world championship. Given that Misano mishap has scrapped his plans of winning the MotoGP title in front of the home crowd.

In fact, Marc has already said that he will change the winning every race approach in the future rounds but only after the race in Aragon because it is home race. This clearly depicts that the 21-year Spaniard is in no mood to lose the competition in front of the Spanish fans on this weekend.

On the other hand, first and second positions for the Movistar Yamaha riders must have boosted their morals. So both Rossi and Jorge Lorezno will be looking to dominate the Marc and his partner Dani Pedrosa in Aragon once again. Especially Rossi because he is just one point behind Pedrosa and another good finish can put him in the second place in overall standings.

Andrea Dovizioso of Ducati Team, who finished fourth place in Italy, may also be looking to reach the podium in Aragon as hee has already missed it couple of times. And so does his future team partner Andrea Iannone of Pramac Racing as he finished the last race just behind Dovizioso. Although, NGM Forward Racing’s Aleix Espagaro, Monster Yamaha Tech 3’s Pol Espargaro and Bradley Smith, LCR Honda MotoGP’s Stefan Bradl, GO&FUN Honda Gresini’s Alvaro Bautista and Ducati Teams’ Cal Crutchlow may not be thinking on the same line. But they all will definitely be looking to finish among the top ten riders on this Sunday.

In the meantime, the Drive M7 Aspar team will finally welcome its star rider Nicky Hayden back in Aragon. The American rider was taking a break from the premier class racing after undergoing a wrist surgery. It means that MotoGP fans will see another exciting round of the Grand Prix the next time all the premier class riders will gather to race in Aragon.

KTM Announces to Join MotoGP Class in 2017 Season

It seems that MotoGP grid is going to further expand in the coming years as after Suzuki and Aprilia, now renowned Austrian motorcycle manufacturer KTM has decided to jump into MotoGP. The revelation came from none other than KTM's head of motorsport, Pit Beirer, himself, as he confirmed that KTM will enter in premier class racing in 2017.

Talking to MotoGP.com, Beirer said that initially they had plans to enter in the Moto2 class and grow by taking small steps, but it did not make much sense to them because building a KTM bike with Honda engine would never give them a real KTM machine.

Thus, we decided to jump directly into MotoGP, said Pit. He also said that they are already quite busy with the project and are doing everything to get ready for 2017 season.

Adding to it, Beirer, who himself was a Motocross racer, said that their MotoGP bike will most probably boast a V4 engine, a tubular steel frame along with a WP suspension. It is anticipated that the testing of KTM’s MotoGP bike will begin till the end of this year.

KTM has plenty of experience in small Grand Prix classes as it has been regularly competing in them after making its debut in 2003. However, its premier class racing experience is limited and it was not too good either, as its hapless partnership with Team Roberts back in 2005 did not bear any fruit.

In contrast to its performance in MotoGP, KTM has done relatively quite well in Moto3, as it has won the 2013 title with Australian rider Jack Miller. In fact, it is at the top in this season as well and considered as favourite to win the Moto3 title once again.

So now it remains to be seen how well KTM will do in the MotoGP class in 2017 and how it will adapt to the Michelin tyres that will introduced in 2016.

At this stage, it is hard to predict how KTM will cope with the premier class challenge. However, one thing is for sure that RiderWear’s top-notch motorcycle clothing, helmets, shoes, gloves and even accessories will stand the test of time.

Owing to the fact, that these products of RiderWear are extremely high in quality and thus offer great value for money. No matter, whether you are a motocross racer or a usual rider who hits the road on daily basis, RiderWear’s motorcycle products offer protection to all of them.

Marc Marquez Looking to Change a Good Habit

After crashing in the middle stage of the San Marino Grand Prix, Repsol Honda Team’s star rider Marc Marquez has finally decided to change his mental approach. According to the latest update, the reigning MotoGP world champion has states that it’s time for him to change his victory mentality, but only after the race in Aragon.

Talking to the press, Marc said that till this race in Misano his mentality was just to win every race because championship advantage was pretty big. However, now he is not looking to manage that advantage by securing another position, as he tried to manage it by taking extra risk, said Marquez.

The Honda rider said that on Sunday he took the chance by following Rossi, but both Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino were a little bit stronger than them. Marquez continued by saying that he tried to push hard in the race as he was able to chase Rossi, but now perhaps it’s time for him to change his approach.

However, he will change that mentality only after Aragon as it’s a home race, but as far as other rounds are concerned he will change his approach to gain points for the title, said Marquez.

Previously, Marc has asserted on various occasions that he would be happy with a podium finish if it was not possible for him to win the race. In spite of it, the 21-year-old Spanish rider was seen fighting furiously in most of the 11 races that he had won during this season.

Marquez started the race in Misano with same attitude that he had shown in the previous races as he was aggressively chasing race leader Valentino Rossi. When suddenly at a corner in lap 10 Marc lost the front and slide across the track while he was trying to take a fast turn.

Fortunately, Marquez remained unhurt and he was able to re-join the race to finish 15th in the competition. Prior to Misano, Brno was the only place where the youngest MotoGP world champion was not able to win the race as he finished fourth.

Still Marquez is leading all the leadings in the chart with a huge margin of 74 points over second positioned Dani Pedrosa. Earlier, MotoGP fans were hoping that Marc will win the championship at Aragon, but the points he had lost on last Sunday have scrapped that possibility now. As a result, now MotoGP fans have to wait a little bit more to see Marquez take the crown.

In contrast, you will not have to wait for anything to buy high performance motorcycle clothing, helmet or any other accessory because some excellent deals are already available at its online shop.

Marc Marquez Explains What Made Him Commit the Mistake at Misano

Valentino Rossi finally won his first race of the 2014 season at Misano on Sunday, September 14, as Marc Marquez committed an error and crashed his bike to finish 15th. In spite of the crash, the reigning MotoGP world champion said that he is content with his performance. Marquez crashed his Honda RC213V on lap 10 at Rio corner when he was in hot pursuit of Rossi.

Luckily, Marc remained unhurt and he instantly got up on his feet after the crash and was able to restart his bike with the assistance of some officials. The Honda rider then fought his way up to finish the race by earning a singular point.

Marquez, who got back on the saddle to claim 15th position, said after the race that he was pretty happy how the things have went at Misano despite the crash. According to Marquez it was his first mistake of the season because the other day he did not even thought that he would be able to match with Rossi and Lorenzo.

The Repsol Honda rider also said that Yamahas had bit more speed as compared to them, but still they managed to get quite close to them. Marc added that he thought that there is a chance of fighting with Rossi for the victory, but unfortunately that did not happen because if the mistake he committed. Shedding light on his mistake Marquez said that he was riding over the inner side of the rumble strip and that made him lost his front.

The 21-year old Spaniard said that he was lucky that he managed to re-join the race, continued to show good pace and seized a point that could prove quite vital in the future.

Despite failing to end up among the top ten riders, Marquez still enjoys a massive lead of 74 points in the overall standings. However, the crash at Misano has definitely hurt his efforts to win the second title of his premier class racing career in front of his home crowd at Aragon. That is where the next round of MotoGP will take place.

That’s not all Rossi victory at Misano has also reduced his points difference with Pedrosa (215), as Valentino (214) is now just one point short of him. This means that if Rossi manages to finish the next race before Dani, he will be able to secure the second position in the world championship standings.

Where Yamaha Can Notch its First Victory? (Part 1)

Just five rounds are left in 2014 MotoGP World Championship but winning a race is still a dream of Movistar Yamaha MotoGP team. In fact, this task is getting tougher and tougher with every passing weekend, as Repsol Honda Team has dominated the men in blue during most part of the season. With Marc Marquez leading the standings by winning 11 of the 12 races and his teammate Dani Pedrosa has also been able to do well. Pedrosa holds second place in the chart and won the race in Brno when Marquez had an off day.

It is feared that if Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo continues to stay behind Honda in the upcoming rounds then, Yamaha could remain winless during this season. The last that had happened was back in 2003, when Rossi was with Honda, Jorge was racing in 125cc category and Marquez was just 10 years old.

So the question here is that whether Yamaha can really beat Honda? If yes then at which circuit the pair in blue have more chances to outshine the Honda riders? The two-wheel experts Chris Vermeulen and Kevin Magee have recently shared their view on where they believe Yamaha could notch its first victory.

Aragon

Last year Marquez won the race in Aragon, whereas Lorenzo finished second and Rossi remained third.

This year Vermeulen believes that Yamaha has a good chance of nailing the bar because the long corners and slow hairpins will favour them. However, they are likely to struggle a little on the straight. Magee also has a similar view as he said that Yamaha will get hammered at the straight track but they will be able to return the favour in the corners. Therefore, the verdict is that Yamaha has a good chance of winning the race in Aragon in spite of the fact that the circuit has long straights.

Now it remains to be seen to what extent Magee and Vermeulen’s predictions will prove true. In the meantime, you can go to RiderWear’s website and avail some amazing deals on motorcycle helmets.

Valentino Rossi's VR46 Moto3 Team Loses its Manager Vittoriano Guareschi

Valentino Rossi's VR46 Moto3 team has received a sudden jolt just when it was looking to further improve its points in the season. According to the official announcement by VR46 their team manager, Vittoriano Guareschi has parted his ways with the team. Guareschi has made this move because he had joined a new project by the Ducati MotoGP team that is backed by Sky and KTM.

However, his future plans and the reason for departure are still not clear, but one thing is for sure that Rossi’s closest friends Alessio 'Uccio' Salucci and Carlo Alberto Tebaldi will now temporarily take the charge. The two gentlemen will be assisted by Luca Brivio, who has been promoted as Team Coordinator. Previously, Brovio was working as the supervisor of the VR46 team.

On this occasion the VR46 wished Guareschi all the best for his future endeavours and sincerely thanked him for his remarkable contribution towards the team. The VR46 also acknowledged that it was Guareschi who had built and commissioned the team.

The race-winning team of Rossi also ratified in its official statement that VR46 and Sky’s will continue to groom young Italian riders on the most significant race venues in the world. The next race will now take place at Misano pn September 14.

At this point in time, VR46’s Romano Fenati is enjoying fifth position in the world championship, as thus far he has reached the podium on five occasions of which three were race victories. However, Fenati failed to secure any points on four occasions, whereas his teammate Francesco Bagnaia is at 15th spot after the last race at Silverstone circuit.

Guareschi’s departure in the mid of the season not only seems bit odd, but it is likely that it may hurt the VR46 team’s efforts. Given that the Moto3 team has a chance to seize second or third position in the world championship. Romano (135) is 10 points behind fourth positioned Efren VAZQUEZ (145) and 15 points behind Alex RINS (150).

Now it remains to be seen how Fenati and Rossi’s close friends, who have recently gained promotion, will perform in the future as pressure is definitely going to be on them.

Adding to it he said that he feel that he is not riding the way he can, not confidently. He was not able to leave the gas and take the turns the way he actually wanted to the Englishman explained.

The Aspar rider said despite of these issues he tried to ride the bike as best as he could but they were missing something. Camier said that they need to test and change something radically on the machine in order to make it perform better.
