Только что посмотрел УУУУУУУУУхххххх !! Кили !!!! Супер!!!

Кстати вы уже проголосовали на motogp.com

Ага если вспомнить что Макс жаловался когда переходил в Хонду что Ямаха не чемпионский байк и все такое я прикидываю какие муравьи ща у него в башке бегают Гонка конечно супер - но где остальные?? Макс это конечно юбе аллес!!! но против Вальки один он не боец

Млять Бъяджи Теперь еще и личного психиатора(или психолога) надо - ну не может он нормально с Вальком ездить ЗЫ А когда это было чтобы Валька и Макс друг другу руки жали после финиша............?

4 года назад на Калевских разбился Джо Данлоп, Легенда этих самых ТТ race

Это сюда http://www.iomtt.com/ Это очень круто, но помоему надо смотреть в живую( там можно смотреть практически возле трассы) Ну и очень опасно, год назад на наших Калевских гонках(типа местный ТТ, когда смотришь как народ по этой трассе гоняет прям жутко) разговорились с парнем как-раз таки с острова Мен, так он сказал про местную трассу - приличная типа трасса но не опасная....................

Малеха тячучее...Но общее впечатление Супер! Недавно скачал трэйлер Хоббита, типа в 2006 премьера.

Ага вот интересные изменения: starting grid поменяли 1.16 Grid Positions 1.16.2 For the MotoGP class, the Grid will be arranged in the 3-3-3-3 configuration "in echelon".

По идее это должен быть решающий сезон для Бъяджи, или у него крышняк совсем поедет или возможен последний всплеск ввиде чемпионского титула (я надеюсь ) Только как говориться, один маленький нюанс, если Валька его будет и на Ямахе так же возить- тада мне кажеться ДО свидания Великий Император И Мад Макс и все такое. пора слики на гвоздь типа.........(прости господи за крамольные речи)

Это так до кучи У Макса гонки на таких "штуках" вроде как даже хобби По телику смотрел мельком какие-то гонки, участниками среди прочих были Бьяджи и Бэйлис( кстати Максимка очень круто подрезал Бэйлиса и тот нехило рубанулся)

Ямаха чемпион 2004 :D !!!!! Блин, неужели и в самом деле Великий????

Сегодня вроде как должно подтвердиться о переходе Эдвардса в Telefonica MoviStar Honda ???? ?? Опа!!!!!! и Хага тоже уходит!!!!!

АГА , понеслась каша....По крайней мере пару месяцев непоняток и неподтвержденной инфы обеспечено Из последнего - Хэйден обратно в АМА

Text for normal readers ends here- WARNING: I strongly suggest you stop reading now. This is more than you probably want to know about all this, but if you want to go even deeper into the labyrinth of the MotoGP paddock, there is more. Currently there are seven works Honda riders operating out of four team structures: Repsol Honda with Rossi and Hayden Telefonica-Movistar Gresini Honda with Gibernau and Kiyonari Camel Pons Honda with Biaggi and Ukawa Pramac Bridgestone Honda with Tamada Under the IRTA-Dorna franchise agreement the MotoGP grid is intended to be composed of twelve two-rider teams coming from seven factory MSMA (Manufacturers of Sports Motorcycles Association) team members: Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Ducati and Aprilia. Honda, due to a deal HRC negotiated prior to the 2002 season, gets two team entries and the other five factories get one. That leaves five franchised teams: Team Roberts (Proton), Team Pons (Honda), Tech-3 (currently Gauloises Yamaha), Team D’Antin (currently Yamaha) and WCM to complete the twelve team list. But controversy and complication surround the status of the Pramac team, a two-rider “team” forced to lease single slots from two different teams. Pramac is an Italian company which imports Honda industrial engines and other non-motorcycle and non-automotive products. The relationship between Honda and Pramac is such that someone, perhaps a commercial director, promised Pramac the lease of factory machines for two riders in the MotoGP championship only to discover that all slots were taken. It was this situation that led to the memorable incident in Sachsenring, 2002, when Dorna CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta ejected HRC’s racing boss Koiji Nakajima, from his paddock office when the Japanese executive demanded that a place be made for the Pramac team in 2004. Since then the situation has continued to simmer on a back burner, though both Ezpeleta and Nakajima have appeared together and smiling in photographs and Nakajima has joked in a press conference about “my big fight with Mr. Ezpeleta.” Meanwhile, all available media attention is focused on Rossi’s contract negotiations and the effects his decision will have on the entire paddock (even on the Superbike paddock where Gregorio Lavilla recently said “it seems that until Rossi is signed no Japanese racing decisions are being finalized, not even in SBK). But behind the Rossi situation there the question of how Honda will honor a promise to Pramac without prying an additional team slot from IRTA and Dorna. Honda bosses have revealed their team strategy for 2004. They will supply six factory bikes which will all begin with equal potential. Once the championship battle in 2004 takes shape, Honda will give the priority to whatever rider and team is running at the front. This language (more, perhaps, than the repression of joy) angered Rossi, who believes that he, now a three times 500/MotoGP champion, should have automatic priority just as Mick Doohan did over his long reign and as Freddie Spencer and Wayne Gardner did in previous times (although Eddie Lawson managed to beat the works HRC team on a Kanemoto Honda in 1989). Honda’s plans have also placed the position of the Honda Pons team in doubt. Honda have committed to support two rider teams from their own HRC entry and also Gresini’s team (not a franchised team, but, in fact, Honda’s second works entry). Pons’ situation is precarious. Max Biaggi, perhaps Honda’s most solid championship challenger in 2004 if Rossi departs (Biaggi is a four times 250 World Champion with Aprilia (3 titles) and Honda Kanemnoto (1 title) and the only rider to win on both a Yamaha M1 and a Honda RC211V, plus his wins on both Honda and Yamaha two stroke 500’s), has a three-year contract (he says and Pramac confirms) with Pramac. He rides in the Honda Pons team and uses the Honda Pons technicians, but officially he is considered a Pramac rider using a leased team slot. Pons other rider is Tohru Ukawa, a full factory Honda HRC rider contracted not to Pons but to the Japanese factory. Furthermore, Honda has a very strong commitment to Makoto Tamada who rides as a Pramac-Bridgestone rider on a one-rider team using a slot leased from Luis D’Antin. D’Antin’s entry, Shinya Nakano, rides a works Yamaha M1 within the D’Antin structure, but D’Antin is set to use both his franchised slots in 2004 for a Ducati team led by new World Superbike Champion Neil Hodgson. That leaves Pramac with one less slot to lease. If Pramac were to buy the WCM team or lease both WCM slots, they could run Biaggi and Tamada, Max on Michelin and Tamada on Bridgestone, out of one garage, leaving Pons with two slots but no Hondas and no riders. Camel, sponsors for the Pons team, might jump to this mooted Pramac team following Biaggi. But, would Honda treat their two-time 250 World Champion and longest standing Honda satellite team owner this way? Apparently Honda are unhappy that Pons, a semi-works supported team owner, is positioned as IRTA president and a strong supporter of Dorna’s franchise team structure, a structure HRC dislikes. If Honda did the dirty to Pons and if WCM succumbed to Pramac’s hard cash, what would Pons do? He would need competitive machinery to keep any Camel sponsorship. Ducati seem committed to D’Antin and, under no circumstances, would Ducati Corse run works machines in Camel colors since 75% of their racing budget is covered by their three-year deal with rival Marlboro. That would seem to leave only the Moriwaki Honda MD211VF (Moriwaki frame and Honda RC211V motor) as an alternative for Sito if the worst came. But, with what riders and with what sponsor? Probably the best thing that could happened now from Pons’ perspective is for Rossi to move to make the move Yamaha that now seems very, very probable. That would elevate Biaggi’s value and Honda would understand that the very strong Pons technical staff (captained by the still ill and absent Antonio Cobas and with highly regarded crew chiefs Santi Mulero and Ramon Forcada) offers a guaranteed level of expertise. Pramac might still then choose to lease a second slot from Pons in order to run a Tamada with Bridgestone alongside Biaggi under the Pons roof. If Bridgestone and Michelin could not be compatible bedfellows then Pramac would have the option of leasing one of the WCM slots. If Pons tries to play hardball, however, Pramac might try to lease both WCM slots, leaving Pons with neither riders nor bikes and probably carrying away Camel in the process. So, while we wait for the other Rossi shoe to drop, consider the backroom negotiations that are currently going on involving HRC, Pramac, Team Pons, Team D’Antin and WCM.

Это еще не все, там есть прикольное продолжение

Что бы точно перевести надо просить Oldmana или Шурикуса А если приблизительно то, translate.ru

Так пошли первые прикидки на следующий сезон: Here is the most probable situation of the current teams: Repsol Honda: Rossi will leave; Hayden will stay. Repsol pushed for Checa but Honda said no. Barros is an acceptable replacement but Repsol may attempt to renegotiate their contract claiming Rossi’s departure lessens value. Repsol will have to negotiate a release for Barros from the Gauloises Yamaha team if he is to replace Rossi. Telefonica-Movistar Gresini Honda: Sete stays. Kiyonari goes. Checa and Barros were discussed as replacements for Kiyonari, but now the most likely rider appears to be Colin Edwards who may have some wiggle-room in his contract with Aprilia. Camel Pramac Honda Pons: Completely in the air. The only thing we know is that Pons always lands on his feet. Perhaps Pons’ team will become the leased home for two Pramac riders, Biaggi and Tamada. Pramac Bridgestone Honda: Solid with Honda, solid with Bridgestone and with Japan’s best rider, Tamada, on a RC211V, the Pramac team is currentlu running Biaggi in the Pons structure and a separate Tamada-Bridgestone team with a slot leased from D’Antin. Will they become “partners” of Sito Pons or will they buy or lease the WCM slots…or will they surprise us by doing a deal with D’Antin, and forcing Ducati (who are asking big money from D’Antin who has no sponsor at present) to look to Pons or WCM? The Pons union would be very unlikely because Ducati run their own show and would not need or want Pons’ top-class crew of Honda specialists. With WCM they would simply buy or lease and reduce Bob McLean and Peter Clifford to VIP guests, something that both would only accept if the price was right…but who would pay it? Not Fila, who are already on the Marlboro Desmosedici and are title sponsors for Ducati Corse in World Superbike. Fortuna Yamaha: Checa has a contract but wandering eyes. Melandri’s situation in uncertain. If Checa were to leave, Fortuna would need a Spanish rider. This could be Xaus’ get out of jail card. Gauloises Yamaha: Rossi in, Barros out. Jacque, a Frenchman, might be retained by the French tobacco sponsor. D’Antin: Currently leasing a slot to Pramac and running Nakano for Yamaha, his two slots almost certainly destined to Ducati. An HRC sneeze is unlikely to give D’Antin a cold. But Ducati need money, at least three millon, to run their “B team” with Neil Hodgson and a second rider. D’Antin, a GP rider in his day, is a good judge of riders and wants Ruben Xaus. Xaus, currently on a tear in World Superbike and winner of six of the last ten races on his Fila Ducati 999, could accompany Neil Hodgson in his Ducati team, but this deal would require Ducati to agree to it and, probably, for Repsol replace Shell as lubricant sponsor. Clearly Ducati are doing all they can to get Xaus to accept “assignment” to the AMA Superbike Championship with the works-supported Austin Ducati team (on top Michelin if Xaus goes there), but the tall Spaniard who resides in the Principality of Andorra, has no contract with Ducati as of this moment and has his heart set on a MotoGP ride. Xaus says he has had talks with Yamaha. If he wins two more races this coming weekend at Magny-Cours in the final World Superbike round, he just might get the D’Antin Ducati ride…if sponsorship for this mooted D’Antin team materializes. Marlboro Ducati: The early brilliance of the Desmosedici has been trumped by Honda and recently the Yamaha M1 has been more than a match for the Desmosedici. Negotiations with Rossi broke down when Rossi refused public relations obligations and other Ducati discipline. Capirossi has never been a consistent contender in 500 or MotoGP, but he’s never had a full works team behind him in the premier class. Bayliss, once he knows the tracks…as he will next week in Phillip Island and at the end of the year in Valencia, is a man who can win for Ducati and they know it. Because he is Australian his age really doesn’t matter. Australians leave home young and ride young until they retire or are injured. Don’t even think about age as a factor in the country that produced Jack Findlay. (If you don’t know who Jack Findlay was go to the library and find out and do not come back to this class until you know.) Ducati is too small a factory to battle the likes of Honda. Even with Marlboro money they are very vulnerable to bike sales, but they are a really a house of lunatics in spite of Federico Minoli’s suave marketing image and talk, and, like the nutcases and madmen before them, they race for the same reason that wolves howl at the moon. Since they don’t know what they are trying to do is impossible, they just might do it. The Vodafone link via Ferrari is a longshot, but Ducati still have a very remote chance of signing Rossi. Aprilia: This is not working. Cosworth technology, pneumatic valve closing and the Texas Tornado himself do not a winner make. This bike named Alice (Al-ee-che) will be remembered more for bursting into flame and causing Colin to eject at high speed at the Sachsenring than for the promised podiums that are not happening. Aprilia, like Cagiva before them, are way out of their league. They have two-stroke prowess via their absorption of the Austrian Rotax concern and a many years of hard work, but company President Ivano Beggio admits that the costs are getting out of hand. Does Edwards still believe that David can slay Goliath (after riding most of his career for the Honda giant)? If Rossi jumps to Yamaha, would Honda take back their two-time SBK World Champion? Answers: Probably not and yes. If Haga is really fired as everyone in the MotoGP paddock believes, Aprilia might turn to Garry McCoy or Jeremy McWilliams, two riders looking to move on. Suzuki: No sponsor and none on the horizon. Former World Champion Kenny Roberts Junior is demoralized. Battling for the lead is not the same as scraping for a final point. John Hopkins got so fired up to try and do something with the V4 Suzuki at Motegi that he knocked Checa and Bayliss off and got himself a one-race suspension. Roberts, though unjustly maligned, is one of the very few riders in the MotoGP paddock who truly feels he can beat Rossi on equal machinery. But Honda will not take a Suzuki rider…unless Suzuki proposes it. Suzuki, the manufacturers of the wonderful GSX-R 1000, seem terminally lost and their current MotoGP team is stale and rudderless. Roberts improved his race time from 2002 to 2003 at Sepang by four seconds. Rossi on the Honda improved by 37 seconds. Suzuki, then, are falling farther and farther behind even as they make small improvements. They went through hard times like this after Schwantz retired and were a GP basket case in 1997 and 1998, but revived with Roberts and Warren Willing (now at KTM working with tiddlers), but they have been down so long now that just a top ten finish looks like up to them (but they can’t manage one). Bless them and keep them! Kawasaki: In way over their green heads, they are inexperienced at prototype racing. Like Roberts, Garry McCoy, a winner even on inferior equipment with the Red Bull Yamaha team, can not cope with this. Andrew Pitt probably secretly misses the thrill of running at the front on his old GSX-R 600 in World Supersport. Alex Hofmann turned down a D’Antin Ducati ride for this? No, I believe he already had a binding contract to Kawasaki…a really binding contract. His story about not feeling up to the challenge and pressures of riding a potential winning machine surprises me. Kawasaki say they have an “unlimited budget,” but joke that they have spent “twice that.” It’s nice that they still have a sense of humor. A highly motivated Eric Bostrom might be what they need. McCoy and Pitt seem unlikely to stay. Proton: Too early to judge the V5 effort. They need a winter of testing so sort it out. The concept is solid and they have some very smart guys working on the project, but they have long supply lines and shallow pockets compared to Honda and Yamaha. A sponsor would help, but there seems to be none on the horizon. Team owner and 500 racing legend Kenny Roberts is determined and stubborn and has the charisma to inspire and convince those around him, but the motors are breaking. Kurtis Roberts, Kenny’s youngest son, may get the call to replace either Jeremy McWilliams on the Bridgestone-shod V5 next year. Bridgestone have a strong relationship with Nobuatsu Aoki, who tested for them on the Kanemoto-Bridgestone test team in 2001. WCM: They finally managed to get past FIM tech. inspection with their R1 inspired prototype and David de Gea has turned some good lap times though Chas Burns, a promising British Superstock rider, has been injured and off de Gea’s pace. WCM have fought to preserve their potentially valuable MotoGP franchise. They are in a position to partner with or sell or lease to Pramac, Moriwaki or Ducati, but Clifford and McLean are racing guys and have plans to continue on their own, if they can afford it. They are also trying to obtain engines from Ducati to run in their own frames. Many have compared them to Manardi. Minardi, however, gets sponsors in F1, but in MotoGP the bucks seem to stop a lot farther toward the front. Text for normal readers ends here:)

Млять что за год такой хреновый British Superbike champion Steve Hislop has died in a helicopter crash in the Scottish Borders. Hislop, who was a Scot, was 41 and had won the British Superbike title in 1995 and 2002 and also won 11 races at the Isle of Man TT. His helicopter came down at a remote farm near Teviothead, off the A7 close to Hawick. He was understood to have been visiting friends living in the area when the accident happened. Lothian and Borders Police were alerted to the accident at 1650 BST, but a spokesman said it may have happened earlier in the day. It is understood the aircraft may have been travelling from the south of England. " You would hardly know it was a helicopter unless you knew what had happened " John Hepburn, Farm worker Firefighters and other rescuers have had to use a four wheel drive vehicle to get from the A7 road to the scene. The helicopter is believed to have come down on moorland, leaving wreckage scattered over a wide area. Pat Douglas, 47, said her husband Walter, 51, had come across the crash scene while tending livestock. "We didn't see or hear anything really. We heard a helicopter buzzing around earlier today but we were not aware that anything was untoward until later," said Mrs Douglas.
