Misano Cauldron Awaits World Superbike Contenders
26 June 2008
The action in the 2008 HANNspree FIM Superbike World Championship is undoubtedly set to heat up this weekend as the runners and riders head for the Misano World Circuit cauldron on Italy’s Adriatic Riviera coast for Round 8, the San Marino Round organized in collaboration with the motorcycling federation of the tiny, Italian-speaking but independent, Republic state. With 7 rounds done and dusted, the season now enters its second half and the revised Santamonica circuit could not be a better place for this next phase of the championship, with scorching weather expected at the holiday venue to liven up proceedings. The last two rounds have produced two double winners in Carlos Checa (Hannspree Ten Kate Honda) at Miller Motorsports Park and Noriyuki Haga (Yamaha Motor Italia WSB) at the Nurburgring, but more to the point they have seen Troy Bayliss’s leadership grip on a championship gradually come under threat.

Stoner Scores Strong Podium At Assen
30 June 2007
Ducati Marlboro Team rider Casey Stoner finished a strong second in this afternoon's windswept Dutch TT to preserve his World Championship lead as the 2007 MotoGP series reached half-distance. Team-mate Loris Capirossi had a tougher day at Assen, entering the pits with nine laps remaining. Stoner dominated much of the race after a brilliant start from the front row of the grid. But he was troubled somewhat by the windy conditions and couldn't quite fend off Valentino Rossi in the closing laps. Capirossi was involved in some hectic tussles with a bunch of rivals until his GP7 began to suffer possible clutch slip, currently being investigated by his crew. Both riders left Assen in a hurry this afternoon, flying from nearby Groningen to Rimini in Italy to appear at the big World Ducati Week event currently taking place at Misano.

Another Top Five Finish For Hopkins At Dutch GP
30 June 2007
Rizla Suzuki MotoGP racer John Hopkins secured his sixth top-five finish of the season as he raced to a hard earned fifth place at the Assen TT today. Starting from sixth on the grid, Hopkins made an excellent start and was running in second position over the first half of the race. The hard-battling Anglo-American then encountered some vibration problems with his bike and lost valuable time to the chasing pack. Hopkins fought to keep them off but was passed by eventual winner Valentino Rossi and both of the factory Hondas. Hopkins’ points haul today moves him up into fourth place in the world championship classification.
