Redding starts up 2017 in seventh
SR45, P7: “I’m really happy. I had a good race especially after the difficulties of the warm up. I got off a good start but I had to close the throttle due to Zarco’s dangerous move which cost me a lot. In the second part of the race I was lapping well even though I was not able to take the first Independent award. I would have been happy to make the Top 10 so this is a good result and I want thank the team for the work done and for always believing in me. See you in Argentina!” Source link

Michelin ready for 2017
Following Michelin’s 2016 re-introduction into MotoGP™ after a seven-year absence, the Clermont Ferrand based tyre specialists gathered important data from its first-year back and this has led to a new profile of front MICHELIN Power Slick being developed for the forthcoming season. This tyre was first used as a prototype at the final race of 2016 at Valencia with impressive results, and the information collected from that event enabled the Michelin technicians to work on the tyre through the winter, and at the pre-season tests, to create a version that the riders have been very impressed with. This, allied to a rear tyre that gives more traction and allows the riders to get better drive, demonstrates that Michelin is pushing

Brandin Cooks will be lucky enough to catch passes from two of them. The New Orleans Saints drafted Cooks in 2014, meaning the first NFL quarterback he worked with was 10-time Pro Bowler Drew Brees. With Brees slinging him the ball, the speedy wide receiver quickly blossomed into a star for New Orleans, racking up 215 receptions, 2,861 receiving yards and 20 touchdown catches over his first three pro seasons. Brees is an excellent quarterback. But Cooks’ new QB is even better. Last Friday, the Saints traded the 23-year-old
