"It was the same bike as the weekend,” explained Viñales, after topping the timesheets on Day 1 at the Valencia test following a very tough weekend and straighaway answering the question on everyone's lips. “I felt much better - pushing the bike and from the first lap in the morning I felt great. During the whole day, even with 27 laps on the tyre, I could do low 31s. So we enjoyed today a lot, after a disaster weekend I was enjoying riding again. I felt strong again. We tried some things, with positives and negatives, but the laptime was there all the time. I think we did a good job, riding with the race setup and a full tank,

Red Sox Look To Stay Hot In Road Matchups Against Rays, Yankees
The Boston Red Sox are riding high as they hit the road for a five-game trip against a pair of division foes. The Red Sox posted a 7-2 record on their latest homestand, capped off by a 6-3 win at Fenway Park to complete a four-game series sweep of the Chicago White Sox. Boston is playing its best baseball at the right time, and it will need to keep it that way during the upcoming road trip. The Sox take on the Tampa Bay Rays for a quick two-game series starting Tuesday, followed by a three-game set in New York against the Yankees. And with the regular season nearing the home stretch, the
Students wrap up the 4th Edition of VR46 Master Camp
Lin Jarvis: "I think that the fourth Yamaha VR46 Master Camp has been a big success. This was our first event with European based riders and we were curious to see what it was going to be like and it went really well. They are all accustomed to being in Europe and in Italy and its society. There was no adaptation period, it was just a matter of getting stuck in and acclimatising themselves to the Master Camp group and getting on with the week. It was great that we had riders from six different countries, all working together as a team under the bLU cRU project. The level of riding skills was pretty high, which is also what I
Marquez says "feeling more consistent" with new tyre
Marc Marquez: "We were preparing to leave for Montmeló for a one-day test last week when we received the terrible news of Nicky’s passing. He was a great rider and an incredible person. I remember once, when I was a kid of 15 at the very beginning of my career in the world championship and he was the MotoGP World Champion: We took part in an event together and my English was very poor, so he tried to speak Spanish and he was very funny and easy-going, treating me as if I was his little brother. And then we shared the garage last year in Australia and had a great party together after the race. Like his amazing family, he
Some positives, some negatives for Crutchlow
“We now have another two days of testing left, where we hope we can improve the package we have even further. We had some more things we wanted to try today but didn’t manage to get done, however I felt good riding the bike and felt at ease. We know what the team and I are capable of doing around this circuit, and I feel that if we had the race again tomorrow we would be in a similar position. I’m happy with that, but we still need to work hard because I still think we can have a better feeling with this bike.” Source link
Folger and Zarco off to a flier
Jonas Folger (P10, day two): "Overall, it was a very successful time for us and we can leave feeling happy about what we achieved. The plan was to carry on from where we finished yesterday which meant that I continued to work a lot on my riding style. We completed many laps and it was a long day but we collected a large quantity of data, which we needed to gather. Also, the Tech3 team and I started to alter the bike slightly to see which direction that we could possibly head towards in the future. I still need to adjust my riding style with regards to running the worn tyres, but on the whole, it was a positive day
Barack Obama Shouts Out J.R. Smith For Wearing Shirt During Cavs’ White House Vi…
Share this: The Cleveland Cavaliers were honored at the White House on Thursday, and they all showed up in their best formal attire. Even J.R. Smith. The Cavs shooting guard went on quite a few shirtless escapades after Cleveland won its first NBA Championship in June, including partying in Las Vegas after Game 7 against the Golden State Warriors, riding through the Cavs’ victory parade and even playing a round of golf. But Smith kept his shirt on for his trip to Washington, D.C., and President Barack Obama was thankful for the gesture. You can’t really come back from getting roasted by the leader of the free world, but, hey, at least Smith’s an NBA champ. Thumbnail photo via Geoff Burke/USA TODAY Network More Stories Source link
