Rins to stay with Team Suzuki Ecstar for two more seasons

Spaniard is confirmed as remaining with the Hamamatsu factory in 2019 and 2020. Alex Rins is confirmed as racing with Team Suzuki Ecstar for two further seasons, with a contract extension announced just ahead of the French GP that will see Rins remain with the Hamamatsu factory for 2019 and 2020.

Rins debuted in MotoGP™ in 2017 and despite a tough start to the season severely affected by injury, he was able to get up to speed by around mid-season - showing consistent improvements in his performances and reported an increasingly good feeling with the bike. The Spaniard then showed some serious pace in winter testing ahead of 2018, followed shortly by the success of his first podium in the premier class at the Argentina GP this year where he took third - and fought for the win.

“The renewal of Alex’s contract is a source of great pride for us, especially as we always hoped it to be a project which would last for a long period of time," says Shinichi Sahara – Project Leader. "We started this adventure with him last year with the objective of not only seeing him grow as MotoGP rider, but also to grow and develop ourselves alongside him. I believe that the journey to success is a process that must be advanced step by step, taking the proper time, learning from the mistakes and taking advantage of the successes. Both Alex and his crew, together with all the Suzuki team, have made outstanding progress in this sense, and this is the reason why we’re very happy to have the chance to build up this project for two more years.”

“I’m very happy that we have been able to finalise the renewal of Alex’s contract for the 2019 and 2020 MotoGP seasons," adds Davide Brivio – Team Manager. "Alex is growing and improving fast, and knowing that we will have a long time together allows everybody to concentrate and work even harder to achieve important results with him. I’m glad that Alex was happy to stay with us, and I want to thank Alex’s crew and everyone in the Team, as well as all the staff in Japan for creating a nice environment where he feels he can continue to work well and grow. Now let’s carry on doing a great job with this exciting project together."

“I’m very happy about this contract renewal," says Rins. "Even when I was still in Moto2, and I was planning to move to MotoGP, it was always the Suzuki project which looked brightest and most interesting in my eyes. My debut last year was complicated; there was my back injury in the 2016 Valencia test, then the ankle injury while training, and finally the arm injury in Austin. So after only two races we had already been through a very tough time, but I always felt the affection and support of Suzuki and the whole Team. We were able to turn the situation around through being patient, working hard, and being consistent, and finally this year we got the first podium together with my third place in Argentina. But no matter the results, whether good or bad, the mood in the box has always been positive. The project that the Team have set up for me is fantastic, I can fully trust the capabilities of the Company and the Team when it comes to development and improvement, and I’m sure we can continue to aim for big results. Now we only have to keep on working hard to see just how far we can go…”

Aleix Espargaro continues with Aprilia for 2019 and 2020

The Spaniard extends his contract with the Italian factory for a further two years. Ahead of the HJC Helmets Grand Prix de France, Aprilia Racing Team Gresini have today announced that Aleix Espargaro has signed a two -year contract extension, keeping the Spaniard on the RS-GP for another two years.

Espargaro is in his seventh consecutive year as a premier class rider after returning from a year in Moto2™ in 2011. The Spaniard made a name for himself in 2012 and 2013, asserting himself as the best CRT rider on board the Aprilia developed ART bike. His best finish in the premier class came at Aragon GP in 2014, finishing second – his best result to date.

Staying with Aprilia guarantees further continuity to the still young, but increasingly progressing Aprilia project in the premier class, with Espargaro becoming a fundamental component to the continuing development of the RS-GP prototype.
“I am very happy to stay with Aprilia for another two years. For the first time in my career, I am able to have stability and this is important to improve and grow together,” explained Espargaro. “I have a sole objective, an obsession and that is to take the RS-GP to the podium. I wish to thank Aprilia and my entire team. We will continue working at 100% through 2020."

“This renewal is first and foremost acknowledgement of Aleix's qualities. He is a fast rider and an exemplary professional,” added Aprilia Racing Manager Romano Albesiano. “From the time he arrived, he has brought passion and motivation to the garage with a positive effect on the entire team. His contribution to the growth of the RS-GP is undeniable and I am certain that the next two years will allow us to achieve important results and above all that they will bring us back to involving, thrilling and inspiring young people and the many fans that Aprilia has all over the world. The signs are there, so giving the technical project continuity with a rider who knows the team and bike well lets us plan development in the best possible way with an eye to the future.”

Iar e sunetul comentariului înaintea imaginii... Chiar așa de greu e să-l regleze???

Moto3 si MotoGP au facut toti banii .... Surprize si cazaturi ... Marc este in forma maxima si greu de ajuns si depasit . Cu toate ca nu e una din cursele favorite , adica deloc .... Vom vedea in Italia ce va fi !

Salvarea anului?

Ultimele viraje ale cursei de la Moto3.

Cred ca anul asta ma uit la moto3, ca la motogp astia care ar trebui sa se bata cu Marquez/Honda cad ca mustele iar yamaha de uzina e jale rau ba cu electronica ba cu caucioacele. Pe la mijlocul sezonului toate sansele sa stim castigatorul pe 2018.

Cred că greșești ... nici o cursă nu seamănă cu alta , e suficient să ai două abandonuri sau ieșiri din zona punctelor ca să fii aruncat din clasament . Campionatul la Moto GP încă se joacă .. , Marquez a avut cel puțin două salvări miraculoase în ultimele două curse . E drept că învață din greșeli în timpul practicii unde preferă să cada - dar testând limitele sale și ale motocicletei , ca să poată salva în timpul cursei . Cel puțin la această cursă s-a văzut clar că a așteptat momentele potrivite de atac ... în timp ce adversarii au forțat și au căzut pe fondul unei aderențe scăzute datorate temperaturii pneurilor .

Perfect de acord!
Asa cum am zis si pe topicul F1 ca Lewis va iesi campion cu cel putin 3-4 curse inainte de final, ma tem ca aici vom sti campionul 2018 cu cel putin 5-6 curse inainte de final.
Bineinteles ca voi privi toate cursele de MotoGP si F1, dar parca nu mai are farmec cand stii deja cine este campionul mondial.
Vom urmari insa bataliile pentru locurile 2 si 3.

Nu greseste deloc! Se stie deja cine este campionul mondial pentru acest an.

Eh, oricât as vrea eu asta, Hamilton nu e favorit la titlu după o cursa. Sa nu uitam ce început bun a avut Ferrari, în momentul ala abia se mai vorbea de Hamilton, ajunsese Bottas cu mai multe șanse sa se bata la titlu. Campionatul e lung, spectacol sa fie...

Dacă spui tu ... o să încerc să te aprob ! E suficient să cadă și să-și rupă ceva (pentru 3 curse fără puncte - n-aș dori nimănui asta) și mai vorbim ...

În MotoGP, Marc nu are rival și va câștiga detașat! Are tot ce trebuie: talent, motocicletă și fler ( întotdeauna a ales pneurile potrivite, de exemplu)! Șansele că el să fie bătut sunt mici și poate pierde campionatul doar dacă se accidentează...să sperăm că nu va fi cazul!

A trecut deja un an de la disparitia fulgerătoare a lui Nicky Hayden .
