Repsol Honda trio Stoner, Dovizioso, Pedrosa geared up for US Grand Prix ... - bettor.com (blog)

Repsol Honda trio of Casey Stoner, Andrea Dovizioso and Dani Pedrosa is fully prepared to take up the challenge at the upcoming tenth 2011 MotoGP event scheduled to be held in the US.
Stoner said, “I'm looking forward to going to Laguna Seca, it's a circuit I've always enjoyed quite good results at and we've always been naturally quite fast there. The track itself is a very tight and technical track, there are lots of sweeping gradients and unusual corners with a lot of camber, so you need to be delicate on the track and not ‘attack’ it too much.”

The Australian rider and his team hope to improve their strategy and work to get better results as compared to the last three race weekends. Though Stoner has scored three podiums in the last three events but his satisfaction lies in winning races which is also important for maintaining the championship lead.

The US Grand Prix is the sixth event in the last eight-week span of the 2011 MotoGP season which has given very little time for the teams to try out their packages. However, Stoner said he likes to race at Laguna Seca, the crowd and atmosphere.

On the other hand, Dovizioso said, “I really look forward to racing in Laguna Seca. I have always had a good feeling with this track and I like the whole ambience there. We arrive very motivated and it’s good that we race straight after Sachsenring.”

The Italian rider is content with his improved race pace, as he was streaming in top riders through whole race. Occasionally, he swapped places with both of his teammates but finally finished fourth at Sachsenring.

The priority for Dovizioso is to keep a hold on the podium position but it is always better to strive for the win. In all the fights, the Italian has been focused to gain good points and shorten up the points’ gap from Jorge Lorenzo and leader Casey Stoner.

Their third teammate Dani Pedrosa has been celebrating his German Grand Prix success with his family since the last few days.

Let’s see how the Repsol Honda trio fares at the Mazda Raceway circuit at Laguna Seca this weekend.

STONER: LONG WAY TO GO...



@JakartaForumJakartaForum Stoner: Long way to go... - crash.net Casey Stoner has expressed a disappointment with his start to the 2011 Czech Republic Grand Prix at Brno, claiming he isn't happy with various issues on the Repsol Honda. The Australian says he is suffering with a 'vague' front-end and a lack of rear grip, though he was still fast enough to land second in both free practice sessions, behind team-mate Dani Pedrosa, but ahead of key rival Jorge Lorenzo. Nonetheless, having ended his weekend at Laguna Seca in perfect style, Stoner is hopeful a solution to the problems on the RC212V can be found in time for qualifying. “Today hasn't been that positive to be honest, we seem to be having a similar start to our weekend...

YAMAHA MOTOGP SNAPSHOT | KENNY ROBERTS



Yamaha MotoGP Snapshot | Kenny Roberts Yamaha clinched their first premier class world championship in 1975 and a few years later a fiercely talented Californian placed the United States on the Grand Prix map from 1978-1980 with three consecutive titles to make Yamaha a major player in the 500cc MotoGP category.Roberts' legacy is felt on several levels but was concreted in two ways. The first is through his feel and sensitivity for machine set-up that honed Yamaha's two-stroke technology and through subsequent upgrades (Deltabox frames) and models until Yamaha adopted its historic V-twin engine configuration.Yamaha essentially became a world-force in racing thanks to the Modesto-based athlete. The second is the impact he had on style, race-craft...
