Putting those two dodgy weekends behind me, I think they are the only negative parts of what has been a good first half of the season for me and the new KTM team. We have continued to make steady progress moving in the right direction with the bike getting better and better. We beat some very good riders on competitive machinery in Germany and we really raced into the points. Other races when we have picked up points riders have dropped out or crashed but there was only one major crash in front of us – we really earned those points. We raced the KTM into the points rather than just picking up points. It was great for the morale

Ramirez: “Third is like a win”
Marcos Ramirez, P3: “I feel really good, thanks to the team and KTM for working a lot to get this result. For me the race was fantastic, I was fighting to win the race! In the end I finished third but at the end for me it’s like a win. In the final part I didn’t want to push too much in case I crashed, I preferred to finish third. Before the race I knew Mir, Canet, and Bulega had good pace, and I thought Fenati too. I wanted to follow Joan Mir because I knew he was faster, just follow, and at the end push a bit more. Now one month of break, but holidays is relative because all
Riders talk rain, resurfacing and the Championship
One man who will certainly bring his best to the Sachsenring is the winner the last seven years he’s ridden it – Marc Marquez. From the 125 World Championship to MotoGP™, the Repsol Honda man has won every year from pole. Does that play a big role in his preparation? He says it helps, but that 2017 is still unpredictable: “Sachsenring has always been a good circuit for me and for Honda. That’s important, but this year is different. There’s a new surface so we need to see how the grip is, and the tyres. And the other thing here is the weather…last year was a flag-to-flag and then everything can change but arriving at a track where you’ve won
Points and progress for McPhee in the Catalan GP
John McPhee, P12: "It was a good start and good first few laps, I did everything I needed to but then I got into a fight with a couple of other riders. I could get the laptime I needed to stay with the front group, but as soon as I got put off line or made a mistake, I didn't have the pace to push past my limit to get back on the group. Normally you ride at 100% but if you need 105% you can chance your luck for a couple of laps...but I was riding the whole race chancing my luck and didn't have anything else in the bag. We made a small change on the bike from
Watch MMA Fighter Respond To Opponent’s Taunt With Vicious KO Kick To Face
Share this: There’s nothing wrong with talking a little trash — unless, of course, you get kicked in the face immediately afterward. Jordan Powell learned that lesson the hard way Friday night. The MMA fighter squared off against Dominick Reyes at Legacy Fight Alliance 13 in Burbank, Calif., and was feeling pretty good about himself after dodging a flurry of Reyes’ punches in the first round. In fact, Powell felt so good that he decided to shake his head in Reyes’ direction. Bad move. Instant karma, indeed. A split-second after Powell shook his head, “No,” Reyes uncorked a lethal “Yes” reply in the form of a knockout kick to the temple. Suffice it to say, Powell didn’t get back up, and all Reyes had to do was
Sixers’ Jerry Colangelo Reveals Telling Opinion On Lonzo, LaVar Ball
Share this: For better or worse, the full scouting report on Lonzo Ball involves more than just Lonzo Ball. We’re talking, of course, about Ball’s larger-than-life father, LaVar, who can’t seem to get out of his son’s way as he pursues his NBA dream. Case in point: Philadelphia 76ers special adviser Jerry Colangelo was asked Friday for his thoughts on Ball, who reportedly is considering working out for the Sixers ahead of the 2017 NBA Draft. “I think Ball is a terrific prospect and could have an outstanding NBA future,” Colangelo told the “Carlin and Reese” radio show on Philly’s 94 WIP, via ESPN.com. “I think it’s going to be challenging with the people around him, without being specific.” Translation: Ball is a great
