Ciao Marco Simoncelli.
October 28th, 2011 by Elusive MediaI’m still at a lose of words … Anyone that follows MotoGP, knows how excited it was to watch Marco race around the track, especially with all the drama he created over this season. Marco always had a smile and was always willing to talk with his fans and sign autographs, Marco was truly a great guy. At the age of 24, he was just getting started with only 2 years in the premier class. We all know #58 was on his way to fight for the championship, it was only a matter of time. RIP Marco, you will be greatly missed on and off the track.. Thanks for the amazing ride.

Red Bull Indianapolis MotoGP
August 30th, 2010 by Elusive MediaWith the last few year’s GP, you never know what kinda weather you will get at Indy. For one, the first year it rained throughout the whole weekend and the leftovers from a hurricane ended the races early. This year, we had quite the opposite, clear blue skies, excellent racing weather! Qualifying is always an exciting time to see who will grasp the pole position. Jorge Lorenzo has been dominating this year poles and podiums. This weekend the American fans were treated to not only Ben Spies getting his first ever pole position in the premier class, but Nicky Hayden grabbing his first front row on the Ducati. It was one special moment for both in front of their home crowd.
Race Day is here and all rides start off strong, but after a strong FP1/2/Qualifying, Nicky Hayden has some issues with grip, catches a grain cover, which rips off his knee slider, because of this he wasn’t able to ride at his maximum, ending in a 6th position. Ben Spies, Jorge Lorenzo, and Dani Pedrosa took over the front where Ben tried to hold of Dani, but in the end Dani took him in the straight. Ben Spies tries to fight back, but can’t keep up with Dani’s pace. Despite losing Dani, Ben keeps a good grab between Jorge Lorenzo and finishes 2nd, which is the highest podium he has finished in the premier class. Jorge Lorenzo finishes 3rd, not happy with the ride, but happy to add some points to extend toward his first world championship in MotoGP.
Congrats to all riders! and for more news and exclusive video from this weekends race, visit motogp.com!!
