Thema: Superbike 2010

Das ist ja geil! Roadracing auf ner 1198, super

find ich auch sehr klasse. in der bsb wird's dann also nächstes jahr zwei teams geben:
moto rapido ducati + batham ducati

Hey petzi finde es super, dass du aktiv mal was reinstellst. Kriege selber nicht alles mit und da ist es bombenmässig wenn ichs hier an Ort und stelle lesen kann.

Hab allerdings noch die Bestätigung aus dem Netz, das Yoshimura Suzuki in die WSBK aufsteigt. Reiter der Pferde gibts noch keine offiziellen.

Yoshimura Japan confirms that the motorcycle tuning company will switch from the Japanese Superbike Championship to race in select rounds of the 2010 World Superbike Championship.

Yoshimura has been involved in racing for over 50 years in Japan and runs Suzuki’s factory effort in the Japanese Superbike Championship and Endurance races. Yoshimura states that the best way to develop parts for the streetbikes is to continue growing in motorcycle racing. What better way to do this than move to World Superbikes and compete at the world level. Competition at the world level makes siginificant strides in product development. This will help Yoshimura increase their already excellent product range.

Yoshimura Suzuki has had incredible success in the United States and Japan. Most notably Mat Mladin and Ben Spies have won tons of races and helped the US Yoshimura Mladin win his seventh and final AMA Superbike title for Yoshimura Suzuki in 2009. The Japan Yoshimura team won this year’s Suzuka 8 Hours Endurance race and finished a close second in the Japanese Superbike Championship with Daisaku Sakai.

Alstare is currently Suzuki’s top WSBK team, but Yoshimura’s reputation and close links to the factory is sure to stir the competition up for the 2010 World Superbike season. It is unknown at this time if the switch will change the US racing operation.

No riders have been announced so stay tuned for more news…

Broc Parkes zu Echo CRS Echo Racing, die die 09er Stiggy Maschinen gekauft haben.

in Honda Broc Parkes World Superbikes
Austalian Broc Parkes has reportedly signed with CRS Echo Team Honda Racing to contest the 2010 World Superbike championship. Parkes, the second place finisher in the 2007 WSS championship, had a season to forget in 2009, winding up in 18th place in WSBK racing a factory Kawasaki ZX10 for Paul Bird Motorsports. CRS Echo, who fielded Michael Laverty in WSS in 2009, has acquired Stiggy Racing's 2009 CBR1000RR superbikes. It is thought that there is an outside chance that Stiggy (Johan Stigefelt ) himself may come over to the team to run the superbike effort, but Stigefelt is still trying to secure funding to run his own team in 2010, a prospect that he admits faces an uphill battle in today's tough economic climate.

Infront ändert die Superpole - ein wenig. Kurze Zusammenfassung:

Es wird eine Splitzeit mehr geben, 4 statt 3. Ansonsten wurden die Dauer der einzelnen SP Sessions geändert. Siehe unten.

Infront Motor Sports wishes to announce that there will be a new World Superbike Event Schedule starting from the 2010 season.

In a spirit of constant consultation with teams and other interested parties, a few changes have been made in the different classes, which are as follows:

In the Superbike class, the Superpole format has been slightly modified to Superpole 1 (14 minutes), Superpole 2 (12 minutes), Superpole 3 (10 minutes), with the 7 minute break between them remaining. The break between the end of free practice and the beginning of the Superpole has now been extended to 25 minutes from 15 minutes.

In Supersport one extra qualifying session has been added at 5pm on Friday afternoon on a request from teams, and the race on Sunday has been moved forward by 5 minutes to 13.30 on a request from TV stations.

In Superstock 1000 one qualifying session has been added at 3pm on Friday afternoon, as requested by the teams.

Finally the Superstock 600 race has been moved to Saturday afternoon at 6pm. There are now two qualifying sessions and one free practice session for this class.

In addition, starting from the 2010 season, the official timing will have an extra intermediate split in every circuit.

gse yamaha racing, aktueller bsb meister, wird, wenn kein sponsor für 10 gefunden wird, sich wohl aus dem rennbetrieb verabschieden. wäre natürlich schade, wenn eines der erfolgreichsten (u.a. mit ducati + bayliss/hodgson) und seit lichtjahren in der serie tätigen teams verschwinden würde.

Bzgl. GSE kann man fast sagen selber Schuld. Die sind nach gefühlten tausend Jahren von Ducati zu Yamaha gewechselt, angeblich um Geld zu sparen da die Yamseln deutlich günstiger zu racen wären. Waren se aber dummerweise nicht und so wurde für 2009 etwa 60% mehr Geld ausgegeben als für den Meistertitel 2008 auf der 1098. Die immer mit frischen Atem gesegneten Sponsoren fanden das sicher auch nicht sooo dolle.

Überhaupt, die BSB hat in den letzten zwei Jahren echt Federn gelassen nachdem Suzuki und Honda ihr verkapptes Werks Engagement zurückgezogen haben, GSE bei Ducati ciao gesagt hat und etliche Fahrer in die WSBK abgewandert sind. Für 2010 fehlen da echt die Perspektiven.

Dabei war das immer eine der besten Rennserien überhaupt und mit Sicherheit die beste nationale championship worldwide. Zu sehen wie einiger der besten Superbiker und abgewixxten Strassenracer auf gottes erde mit Werksmaterial auf Kursen wie Snetterton oder Croft oder auch Cadwell park unterwegs waren hat einen immer sprachlos gemacht.


Na ja, jetzt ist die Zeit der engagierten Händler- und Privatteams und für eine Menge junger Racer Ihr Potential zu zeigen...

Wahnsinn! Die Reitwagen Jungs werden BMW Satellitenteam!

Via Josch und wieder via Asphalt and Rubber:

And now according to Swiss publication Speedweek helping BMW make a bigger push into WSBK is the news that German team Reitwagen Racing will run a S1000RR as WSBK satellite team.
Speedweek goes on to say that Austrian Roland Resch will ride one of the team’s S1000RR, as further rumors peg the team as possibly fielding a second satellite S1000RR as well. Reitwagon’s manager, Andy Werth, is clear that his team is not a factory effort, “We are a satellite team, which will receive support from the factory in specific areas.”

Testing ing ing ing

A test for some of the top teams in WSB racing got underway on Wednesday at Valencia, and was blessed by warm temperatures and dry track surfaces.

Top of the list was Leon Haslam, taking his Suzuki Alstare machine to a 1'34.5 second lap. Next fastest proved to be Max Biaggi (Aprilia Racing) then double World Superbike Champion of yesteryear, James Toseland (Yamaha Sterilgarda). Toseland, like fourth fastest man Jonathan Rea (Hannspree Ten Kate Honda) fell today, but was unhurt.

WSS Champion Cal Crutchlow, sporting a new helmet design with championship cycling multi-coloured stripes, was just into the 1'35s, Leon Camier (Aprilia), on a 1'35.8, tied on times with new Honda signing Max Neukirchner, while Sylvain Guintoli (Alstare Suzuki) set a best of 1'36.1.

In WSS, Hannspree Ten Kate Honda riders, Kenan Sofuoglu and Michele Pirro set a 1'36.8 and 1'37.1 respectively.
