Shinichi Ito proud to race for HRC, bringing hope to East Japan

In an action packed race today at the Motegi circuit, HRC test rider Shinichi Ito finished thirteenth and very proud with his achievement.
Ito rode a strong race in front of his home crowd at Motegi, and took this opportunity as training for testing the 1000cc machine to be ridden by HRC factory riders in 2012.

HRC would like to thank Ito san and congratulate him on his performance in the Japanese Grand Prix.

SHINICHI ITO - 13th
"First of all, I'd like to say big a very big thank you to Honda. They gave me this possibility to race a MotoGP machine again and through this I hope I brought courage to the victims of the East Japan disaster. My target for this race was to simply take the checkered flag and I achieved this. Considering that today was no ordinary race, I'm very happy with the result! I had a physical problem after Friday's crash, so the first part of the race was difficult for me. I reminded myself the main reason for participating and I knew I could not give up. After that, in the last part I managed faster laps and I'm happy with this. The experience of today will contribute towards my training for the 1000 machine test. At this moment I don't have any plans to participate in another Motorcycle race, but if I take part in another race category, such as GT300 Japanese Car Championship, I would like to do so with a Honda Machine".

STONER: LONG WAY TO GO...

 4:17 AM  No comments
   


@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

 6:13 PM  No comments
   


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...
