Ken Wootton passes away

"I met Ken back to my early HRC years in 500cc, I did chat with him in Mugello this year, as usual he was very happy to do his European tour before heading back to Australia, Ken used to write for AMCN in Australia and was doing commentary during the Motogp race in P/Island." 
RIP Ken and thanks for what you did for Motorcycling.
"G.Bigot Technomag-CIP crew chief"

Japanese Grand Prix situation explain by Dorna boss C.Espeleta



Dorna boss C.Espeleta explain the situation about the Japanese Grand Prix 
en Anglais 
Pour ceux qui ne parlent pas l'Anglais je résume.

Devant le refus de pilotes de motogp d'aller au Japon une recherche faite par un organisme indépendant va faire son rapport pour savoir si il y a risques ou pas d'y aller, ceci concernant les risques au niveau de la santé.
C.Espeleta rappelle que Dorna a un contrat avec le circuit de Motegi et que si le circuit n'annule pas le GP ils n'on aucun droit de la supprimer.
Pour mémoire voici comment fonctionne les GP motos.
Dorna qui a les droit du motogp organise avec differents promoteurs les GP.
Dorna a un contrat avec l'IRTA qui est l'association des teams 125, moto2 et motogp.
Les teams ont un contrat avec l'Irta
Les pilotes ont un contrat avec les teams.
1) Le pilote est tenu d"honorer son contrat envers le team
2) Le team est tenu d'honorer son contrat envers l'Irta 
Dans le cas ou le GP n'est pas annulé et que certains pilotes refusent d'y aller le team pourra remplacer le pilote comme comme dans le cas d'une blessure.

Sauf annulation du GP le TECHNOMAG-CIP moto2 team ira au Japon

Sachsenring moto2 race result

Kenan finish 11th and Dominique 12th in Sachsenring moto2 race.
It was a hard race but both riders fight really hard to score points.
A difficult and frustating week-end for the riders and team, the team was not able to fix the problem with rear grip Kenan and Dominique were facing, they did try many different set-up but nothing works.
Kenan could have finish higher than 11th but he missread the sign board, thinking he still have more laps to go he was waiting for a late charge and got surprised to see the chequered flag coming up.
Dominique on his side never gave up and he was able to pick up a few position to finish 12th.

Dominique from 27th on the grid  to 12th in the race

Kenan had a good start from 20th on the grid, 11th in the race

Sachsenring moto2 qualifying practice

Kenan 20th, 0'84 second from pole position will start from row 7, if he had gone 0'14 second faster he would have been on 12th position!

Dominique 1'13 second from pole position will start from the 10th row

Not a good day for Kenan and Dominique, following the problem they were having on friday the team has been trying different set-up in free practice3 and qualifying for both but they keep struggling with rear grip, they will start from 20th and 28th position on the grid which means a long and difficult race.

Sachsenring moto2 Friday practices

It has been a hard day for the Technomag-CIP pair, so close and so far away, because you may think being 1 second slower isn't a big deal but in moto2 in Sachsenring you are far away from the leader.
Both Kenan and Dominique have been struggling with rear grip, some major changes for tomorow morning are planned to help them.

 Dominique down in 23rd position, 0,94 away from T.Luthi

Kenan 26th, 1,2 second away from T.Luthi

Dur journée pour les Technomag-CIP boys, si proche et si loin car être a une seconde n'est pas un problème insurmontable sauf qu'au Sachsenring vous êtes très loin de la tête.
Kenan et Dominique on manqués d’adhérence donc des modifs importantes pour la séance libre de demain matin.

T.Koyama 9th in Albacete CEV moto2 race

T.Koyama finish 9th today in Albacete moto2 race, not the result he was looking for, he has been struggling with set-up on the bumpy race track. 

Kenan 10th, Dominique 11th in Mugello moto2 race



Kenan Sofuoglu and Dominique had a good fight today in Mugello, Kenan lost a little bit of ground at the start as Dominique fly to 15th in the first corner from the 30th position on the grid.
Toward the end of the race Kenan was pushing harder to get the 6 position setting the second fastest lap of the race in 1'53''515 but he outbrake himself and got pass by 4 riders during the last lap, he will end up 10th right in front of Dominique who came a long way and even got pass Kenan during the race, a rear tyre losing grip and showing some little blister prevent hinm to fight for more but it has been an overall good result for the team seeing his both riders scoring points today.
