Sensational 4th place for Dunlop Yamaha Tech 3
23 September 2007
In one of the most dramatic races on record, the Dunlop Yamaha Tech 3 Team scored its most impressive result to date when MotoGP rookie, Sylvain Guintoli rode his Yamaha YZF-M1 to a sensational fourth place in the Japanese Grand Prix at Motegi. The race commenced on a wet, but drying track. Conditions soon improved ensuring that the riders timing of the all important pit stops to change to bikes fitted with lightly cut slick tyres would be crucial. Astute judgement and skill plus the performance of the tyres in the varying weather conditions would be the governing factor. In the circumstances Sylvain gave a faultless display to finish just 1.2 seconds from second place and a tantalisingly close 0.566 of a second from the podium.

Turkish Delight For Dunlop Yamaha Tech 3 Team
23 April 2007
After a drama charged Grand Prix of Turkey the Dunlop Yamaha Tech 3 Team can leave Istanbul extremely satisfied as riders Makoto Tamada and Sylvain Guintoli scored more championship points finishing in 14th and 15th spots respectively. In what is shaping as the most intensely contested MotoGP Championship on record, both riders were extremely fortunate not to be involved in a spectacular opening lap crash that caused three riders to retire, as the Dunlop Yamaha Tech 3 pilots were forced to take evasive action to stay in the race. Losing vital seconds in the melee, both riders recovered composure rapidly to give chase to the quickly disappearing pack and with determined rides closed the gap to the leaders over the remainder of the race to finish just 30 seconds from a podium finish.
