Argentina Wouldn?t Mind Hosting MotoGP
In the MotoGP World Championship there are 18 stops on the calendar at different race venues, and the series has a penchant for looking to expand its global reach. It seems just about every season there’s a bevy of rumors about possible venues the premier class of motorcycle racing could stop at, and 2011 season is no different. While a Spanish GP is a sure-fire way of ensuring a massive attendance, there does seem to ...

2011 WSBK Donington Day 1 Round Up
After a layoff of nearly a month, World Superbikes are back in action this weekend, taking a bold - and some would say foolish - gamble to head to Donington Park in the English Midlands at the end of March. But gambling on both England's fickle weather and the state of the Donington circuit, so close to bankruptcy over the past couple of years, has paid off, and the first day of practice took place under sunny skies and surprisingly pleasant temperatures for the time of year, on a track that was bumpy but ready to race on. The modifications to the track have been well-received in general, with the Foggy Esses having been opened up a little, and now a little faster and smoother.
Max Biaggi is on provisional pole, not usually the place the Roman Emperor is to be found on a Friday afternoon, usually taking another day to get bike and body dialed in and ready to race. While Biaggi will be happy to be competitive this early, it is the Yamahas who are looking strongest, with both Marco Melandri and Eugene Laverty on the front row alongside Biaggi. Melandri's transition to World Superbikes has gone off without a hitch so far, and Laverty has also shown little trouble adapting to the 1000s after spending so long in Supersport. The Yamahas are up to speed far earlier than they were in 2010, and showing plenty of promise this year.

Valentino Rossi With Ducati Desmosedici Photos
Ducati Desmosedici Photos
Without time to breathe deeply and to analyze what happened in the successful MotoGP season, and we are in the preseason that will take until 2011. As you all know, Tuesday November 9, in the Cheste circuit, had its first practice facing the coming year, and this day will go down in history as the day when we were finally able to see Valentino Rossi on the Ducati Desmosedici to accompany you at least the next two years. What you want to tell you, to me these things I still thrilling, and I almost felt like a little kid seeing the first images.
The Doctor's With Ducati Desmosedici
Just a few minutes after noon, appeared Valentino dress with a monkey which prevailed with his trademark black and yellow accents. For the occasion, has launched a town where you can see a big question mark as a symbol of what's in store for this new adventure. So, went to his Ducati, it looked for rigorous self black, broken only by the unmistakable Italian 46, because as you all know his contract with Yamaha is still in force and can not do any advertising. Seconds later, we heard the unmistakable Italian motorcycle engine and there it is, Valentino and wheel with the Ducati.

Qualifying second, two tenths behind the Australian, Pedrosa was six tenths ahead of third place qualifier, Jorge Lorenzo. Those of us who expected Stoner to find the front within a couple of laps and disappear were surprised to see Pedrosa pass Stoner with 17 laps to go. It was then the Pedrosa-Stoner show until, with 11 ...

Racing With A Shoulder Injury: Kenny Noyes Speaks From Experience
Ever since Valentino Rossi joined Ducati, the burning question of just how competitive the Desmosedici GP11 is has been clouded by Rossi's shoulder injury. The weakened shoulder - a result of training accident in which Rossi hyperextended his shoulder, fixed by surgery in November of 2010 - has made it very difficult to judge how fast Rossi could be on the bike if he could ride the Ducati unhampered by his shoulder. As a consequence, debate has raged among fans and pundits over how much or Rossi's deficit to put down to the shoulder, and how much to the bike.
Such shoulder injuries are relatively common in motorcycle racing - at Qatar, the list of riders recovering from post-season shoulder surgery was alarmingly long - as being thrown from a moving motorcycle at speed almost invariably causes some kind of damage to shoulders, arms and hands. Add to this the fact that the shoulder is one of the most complex joints in the body, and certainly the one with the largest range of motion, and you begin to understand just how big an effect a shoulder injury can have.
