MK: “The first laps with the KTM MotoGP™ bike were about one year ago – so the project and the bike are quite new, still. The first laps I did with the bike were last November and after that we’ve been testing a lot – on many different racetracks. We have a lot of experience and information now, about the bike. If I think how I felt when I first tried the bike and how I feel now, I can really say that we did a really good job this year. The development we were looking for we could find. So I think the level of the bike is quite good at the moment, but of course we need to

Red Sox Notes: Rick Porcello Solidifies Role As Boston’s Top Starter
Share this: BOSTON — The Red Sox haven’t mapped out their rotation for the American League Division Series quite yet, but Rick Porcello almost certainly will be the No. 1 guy. The right-hander didn’t turn in his best outing against the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday, but it still was good enough to give the Red Sox a 5-3 win. And that’s been the most important part of Porcello’s presence this season: When he’s on the mound, he gives the Red Sox the opportunity to win. “I feel good about the body of work this year,” Porcello said. “More importantly, consistency of giving us a chance to win, providing something that you can count on every fifth day, and that’s what I’ve been
LeGarrette Blount Has Been Much-Needed Workhorse For Patriots This Season
by Zack Cox on Mon, Sep 26, 2016 at 1:41PM 1,668 Share this: With the amount of attention that’s been paid to New England’s quarterback situation, it’s easy forget the Patriots’ No. 1 running back also has yet to see the field this season. They haven’t needed him so far. With Dion Lewis sidelined until at least Week 7 after undergoing a second knee surgery, LeGarrette Blount has thrived as the Patriots’ feature back, leading all NFL rushers in rushing attempts, rushing yards and rushing touchdowns through three games. Blount has been especially explosive following quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo’s shoulder injury, carrying the ball 43 times for 207 yards and three touchdowns since Garoppolo went down late in the second quarter of New England’s Week 2 win over the Miami Dolphins. “We really
Patriots Pick Six: Jamie Collins, Malcolm Butler Star Vs. Texans In Win
FOXBORO, Mass. — It turns out the New England Patriots were just fine without Jimmy Garoppolo. Oh, and Tom Brady, Dont’a Hightower, Dion Lewis, Sebastian Vollmer and a good 80 percent of Rob Gronkowski. The Patriots embarrassed the Houston Texans 27-0 with rookie Jacoby Brissett at quarterback. The nicest thing one could say about the Texans’ offense is they crossed the 50-yard line. And it took them until late in the third quarter to do so. This Patriots team could be historically good when Brady returns. Here are the Patriots’ six stars of the game.

Red Sox Notes: Clay Buchholz Rewarding Boston’s Patience During Stretch Run
Share this: To say Clay Buchholz’s 2016 season has been a roller coaster would be an insult to roller coasters. The Red Sox right-hander has had some up-and-down campaigns in Boston, but this year has been especially tumultuous, featuring a rough first two months and three separate stints in the bullpen. Roller coasters also have high points, though, and Buchholz certainly is on one now. Buchholz delivered another solid start for the Red Sox on Wednesday night, limiting the Baltimore Orioles to one run on just three hits over seven innings at Camden Yards to lift Boston to its seventh consecutive win. “He never let the game speed up on him,” Red Sox manager John Farrell said after the game, as aired on NESN’s
Red Sox Notes: Clay Buchholz Bouncing Back At Perfect Time For Boston
Share this: BOSTON — It’s something that you never would have expected to hear after the first half of the season, but the Red Sox are getting accustomed to winning when Clay Buchholz is on the mound. Buchholz was 2-5 with a 6.35 ERA to start the season before he was relegated to the bullpen at the end of May. But since the right-hander has slotted back into the rotation in August after injuries to Steven Wright and later Eduardo Rodriguez, he’s been consistently good, winning all his decisions and giving up no more than three runs in five of his six starts. His last start against the Toronto Blue Jays was a dud, but Buchholz came up big Friday in a 7-4
Bill Belichick Talks Up Ryan Tannehill, Dolphins’ ‘Explosive’ Offense
by Zack Cox on Wed, Sep 14, 2016 at 11:15AM 709 Share this: FOXBORO, Mass. — The Miami Dolphins ranked near the bottom of the NFL in both yards and points last season, but Bill Belichick isn’t taking their Ryan Tannehill-led offense lightly ahead of Sunday’s matchup at Gillette Stadium. As he is wont to do, the New England Patriots head coach spoke highly of his team’s next opponent in his Wednesday news conference. “(Miami’s offense is) explosive,” Belichick said. “They’ve got a lot of big-play receivers — (DeVante) Parker, (Kenny) Still, (Jarvis) Landry. They’ve got a good tight end. The backs are really good. They have really good depth at running back. “(Arian) Foster is a very hard guy to tackle. He’s got tremendous balance, gets a
