Confirmation pour Jenny Tinmouth

[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir cette image]

The Two Wheel Racing (TWR) team has confirmed that Jenny Tinmouth will return to the MCE Insurance British Superbike Championship next season and the fastest female racer in the country has set her ambitions high for 2013.

The TWR team, supported by long term partner Manx Glass, return for their second season in the premier class. The team are now working hard on the development of the Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade over the winter months in preparation for the 2013 season as they firmly intend on building on the results scored in their debut campaign.

Ellesmere Port's Tinmouth is now determined to add to her previous achievements which include holding the current Isle of Man TT course female lap record, setting an average speed of 119.945mph, finishing third overall in the 2010 British Supersport Cup.

Tinmouth said: "I am really happy to be back on the grid next season and we start 2013 in a much better position than we did this year. We ran the bike pretty much to Superstock standard this year so that I could learn the bike and get the basics how I wanted it to be and now we are using the winter to tune the engine so it has more power; so there is big potential there. I am aiming really high for next year and I want to be moving up the order and getting nearer to the front. I am one million percent determined to improve and we are putting in a lot of effort over the winter to try and achieve that goal next year; I can't wait to get started."

L'interdiction des test hiverneaux a l'étranger pour les teams du BSB ne fait pas que des heureux. Traductions google et l'original


L'interdiction des tests récents à l'étranger imposées par les patrons Superbike britannique a invité Cartagena Pro-Test principaux Symmons Barry à communiquer avec le Parlement européen sur la question.

Symmons, qui est un gestionnaire Racing Honda ancien, a été en contact avec son propre député et ceux qui siègent en Europe pour savoir si il ya un cas de répondre à plus de limiter le commerce et les monopoles.

Le Cartagena Pro-Test a, historiquement, ont formé un pilier de coureurs britanniques essais avant la saison commence. Les équipes qui sont contractés afin de fonctionner en Superbike britanniques ne sont plus autorisés à tester BSB-spec vélos à l'extérieur du Royaume-Uni, mais les équipes de soutien sont de classe.

"J'ai soulevé l'interdiction des tests non seulement avec nos propres MP, mais aussi avec un certain nombre de députés de ce pays où la moto a un profil beaucoup plus élevé que dans GB", a déclaré Symmons, parlant à bikesportnews.com ce matin.

"En conséquence, la question a été renvoyée à la commission de l'UE pour le marché intérieur, non seulement sur ​​la base du commerce et de citoyens de l'UE de limiter l'exercice de leurs droits de faire ce qu'ils veulent dans leur temps libre, mais en outre la possibilité d'une situation de monopole découlant du fait que MSV possèdent la majorité des circuits, mais offrent également des journées d'entraînement à trois de leurs propres circuits en hiver.

"Je viens de recevoir des copies des lettres envoyées par Jim Nicholson à Michel Barnier et Malcolm Harbour de la Commission européenne chargé du marché intérieur et des services, puis respectivement Parlement européen."



Pro-Test boss hits back over BSB ban

A recent overseas testing ban imposed by British Superbike bosses has prompted Cartagena Pro-Test chief Barry Symmons to contact the European Parliament over the issue.

Symmons, who is a former Honda Racing manager, has been in touch with his own MP and those who sit in Europe to find out whether there is a case to answer over limiting trade and monopolies.

The Cartagena Pro-Test has, historically, formed a backbone of British riders testing before the season begins. Teams that are contracted to run in British Superbikes are no longer permitted to test BSB-spec bikes outside of the UK, but support class teams are.

"I have raised the testing ban with not only our own MP but also with a number of this countries' MEPs Where motorcycling has a much higher profile than in GB," said Symmons, speaking to bikesportnews.com this morning.

"As a result the matter has been referred to the EU commission for the internal market not only on the basis of limiting trade and EU citizens exercising their rights to do what they wish in their own free time, but additionally the possibility of a monopoly situation arising out of the fact that MSV own the majority of circuits but are also offering the three practice days at their own circuits in winter.

"I have now received copies of letters sent by Jim Nicholson to Michel Barnier and Malcolm Harbour of the European Commission for the internal Market and services and then European Parliament respectively."

Ils vont être bien chez eux pour faire leurs tests en Mars

Matteo Baiocco chez Moto rapido sur une panigale, le champion sortant du CIV va se frotter au anglais :) et est ce que quelqu'un sait ce que devient Nori Haga??

Aucune nouvelles pour Haga , l'heure de la retraite aurait elle enfin sonnée ? Du coté de chez MV , on a changé de méthode d'approche et les F4 seront finalement engagées en STK.

Bref , cela ne bouge pas beaucoup , qu'est ce que je n'aime pas cette période !

Arf je pense aussi que Nitro Nori on ne le reverra plus de si tôt, peut-être une fin de carrière en JSBK?? J'ai quand même quelques regrets pour lui surtout pour la saison 2009 contre Spies...

Et oui les MV en stock 1000, peut-être un choix plus raisonnable... Et je crois aussi qu'il y en aura deux en stock 600...

Yann, oui MV seras aussi engagé dans le 600 superstock.

Je verrais bien Haga courir en championnat asiatique avec d'autres retraités japonais et australiens des GP et du SBK. Ils y forment de très jeunes pilotes malais, indonésiens, thaïlandais et j'en passe, qui vont venir prendre la place des espagnols quand l'Espagne aura fini d'avaler son bulletin de droit de crédit sans fond(s) (un comble!). Ils feront la nique aux pilotes des vieux continents.

Je l'ai déjà dit ici et je le redis car je pense que le futur de l'élite de notre sport se joue aussi là-bas : si j'étais un jeune pilote français talentueux et ambitieux, je tenterais de courir là-bas au lieu de me morfondre dans ma chambre les yeux embués à force de mater les vidéos de Marquez sur youtube, au lieu de me dire que faire des essais de la Coupe Pirelli à 8h30 c'est vraiment trop tôt (sic! lu ici...), ou au lieu de chercher à faire une ou deux piges en CEV sur une moto trop peu compétitive que je pars déjà perdant... au moins, j'aurais une excuse de ne pas avoir fait se lever de leurs sièges les émissaires recruteurs de Puig, Alzamora ou consorts.

Je suis un peu sévère, peut-être, mais je suis surtout énervé du conformisme dont font preuve certains de nos jeunes pilotes qui ne savent qu'écouter que la voix pré-programmée, et menteuse sinon trompeuse, du GPS qui nous perd tous un jour ou l'autre. A 60 ans, pourquoi pas mais à 20 c'est dommage. Mais accumuler ses points de retraites dès 20 ans est devenu un objectif à la mode, alors je ne les blâme pas. C'est nous, les générations des 20 ans d'avant eux, que je blâme pour ne pas avoir su caresser le diamant que nous avions pour lui garder cet éclat dont les topics sur Chevallier ou Nicotte ravive à nos mémoires!

Lee Costello et Halsall racing montent en superbike

[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir cette image]
The MCE Insurance British Superbike Championship will feature a new team on the grid for the 2013 season as established businessman Martin Halsall turns his ambition into reality by progressing the Halsall Racing team from the Pirelli National Superstock 1000 class, signing Lee Costello for their debut campaign.

Halsall Racing first debuted in the British paddock in the Superstock Championship last year and celebrated a maiden win at the Silverstone round, having scored top five finishes in their first season. Martin Halsall is now raising the bar to fulfil his aspirations of owning a successful team in the premier class, and is currently working on the development of the Kawasaki in preparation for the opening round of the season at Brands Hatch on 5/6/7 April.

Costello said: "It is really exciting for me to have this chance to race in BSB and I have to thank Martin for giving me the opportunity. We had a season in the Superstock class and we got up to the front and now we are making the move up to Superbike. We just need to start chipping away and work on the package throughout the season but we have experience with the Kawasaki from being in Superstock last year to build on. To be in the championship is really good for me; to be on the grid with riders like Shakey and Kiyo who have so much experience will make me progress further. You have to be thrown in as that is when you learn more; I will be doing the best job I can for Martin and the team."

Team owner Martin Halsall said: "We dipped our toe in the water in the Superstock class and now the next progression is to move into Superbike. That has always been my dream from the moment I started my team and now we are turning that into a reality. I know that there is going to be a lot to learn but we have goals and we will grow into the Championship. We have years ahead of us to become serious contenders in the future. I have signed Lee Costello for another season as I feel the time is right to give him the opportunity to be part of this progression with the team; the time is right to make the step up and all our efforts can be focused on him. We are new to the Superbike grid but I am serious about achieving our goals and I am excited to get the season started at Brands Hatch."

MCE BSB Series Director Stuart Higgs concluded: "I'm delighted to welcome Martin Halsall and his team into BSB. Their decision illustrates that the current BSB technical rules allow ambitious privateer teams to confidently make the step up. Last year with Lee Costello the Halsall Racing team had an exceptional season in the ultra-competitive National Superstock 1000 class with an overall fifth place following five top five race finishes, including a hard fought debut victory at Silverstone. Lee thoroughly deserves his BSB shot and it's great that he gets to advance along with three of the other Superstock race winners: Keith Farmer, Danny Buchan and PJ Jacobsen."

Martin Jessopp sur une BMW du team RidersMotorcycles.com

[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir cette image]
The RidersMotorcycles.com team are set for a comeback to the MCE Insurance British Superbike Championship after today (Wednesday) announcing the return of Martin Jessopp onboard a BMW.

Yeovil's Jessopp has been a regular protagonist in the championship, scoring top ten finishes and just missed out on a maiden podium finish at Donington Park in 2012. Jessopp competed in the World Supersport Championship last season but now is turning his attention back to Britain as he prepares to return stronger and determined to claim a position in the coveted end of season Showdown.

The RidersMotorcycles.com team will switch to BMW for the new season; the prestigious manufacturer featured in the Showdown last year and was tantalisingly close to appearing on the MCE British Superbike Championship podium for the first time. The team backed by Riders Motorcycles, own three major dealerships at Bridgwater, Bristol and Cardiff with the latter BMW specialists.

Martin Jessopp said: "I have unfinished business in BSB and that is why I want to get back out there again. I think I took a year away at the wrong time in hindsight; at the time it was for the right reasons but I left when I was at my strongest position in the championship. It feels good to be back and on a competitive bike and everyone has seen that the BMW is a strong package in BSB. I want to start the season and straight away pick up where we left off; there is no time to settle in and get comfortable but because I have raced the BMW before I don't think it will be an issue. We have the bikes stripped down at the moment and planning our test schedule so we can be ready for Brands Hatch. I want to be back up and fighting at the front and definitely pushing for the Showdown."

Team owner Phil Jessopp said: "I am pleased to announce that the team will be back in the British Superbike Championship this season after a tough year in 2012. We really are looking forward to the new season and pushing to try and improve on our previous results in the championship. Martin has learnt a lot and I think that will benefit him this season. We are now looking forward to our first test with the BMW; the bike clearly has strong potential in the championship and we are feeling confident about the forthcoming season."

MCE BSB Series Director Stuart Higgs concluded: "It's great to see Phil and Martin Jessopp back in BSB. The RidersMotorcycles.com team is highly professional and capable and reached the Showdown stage of the Championship in 2010 with Michael Rutter on the Ducati. I'm sure Martin has eliminated his difficult Word Supersport campaign from his memory and will quickly recapture his strong previous BSB form, which included top five position race finishes and a race start from pole position."

Nick Morgan, le propriaitaire du teamMSS Kawasaki qui faisait courir Michael Rutter et Danny Buchan arrête pour au moins 12 mois faute de budget.

MSS Kawasaki owner Nick Morgan has put his team's racing plans on ice for at least 12 months and will not contest the 2013 MCE British Superbike Championship.

Morgan, who this year ran Michael Rutter and Danny Buchan, has made the decision after agonising over it for the past couple of months and says that budget problems have forced his hand.

"I always use the football analogy but over the past few years in BSB, it has been like trying to beat Manchester United using Southampton's budget. We have been in the paddock since the early 90s but I have had to call it quits, at least for this year, as we just can't compete," said Morgan, speaking to bikesportnews.com.

"We have been on the podium and done well sometimes in qualifying, but I always knew it would be hard when it came to the race as we had no money for any meaningful testing, so we were always on the back foot. My heart really wants to go back into it this year but my head says otherwise.

"I think taking a year out will be good for us. We can then have a look at how we run things. I need to concentrate on our performance business more as I took my eye off the ball a little bit, so that will be my main focus, but I hope we will be back.

"Thanks to everyone who has helped us up until this point, they know who they are and it wouldn't have been possible without them."

Benjamin Fortt, who took the honours as Thailand’s top rookie superbike racer in 2012, is joining SBK City Racing to contest the UK’s Hottrax and Pirelli National Superstock 1000 championships making him the first time Thai motorcycle racer to compete in a British series.

Fortt, who will be 19 in February, will race in the Hottrax Powercup 1000 series on a BMW S1000RR and has secured some wildcard entries to run alongside Brazilian, Rhalf Lo Turco, in the ultra-competitive BSB support series. Lo Turco is the 2012 Powercup 1000 champion and will be a regular on the Superstock 1000 grid this year.

Speaking shortly after he arrived in London with his English father, Keith, the Thai teenager explained, “I have raced Superbikes in Thailand for two seasons and achieved my goals in the novice and rookie classes.

"We have a lot of friends in the British paddock who encouraged us to make this move and we know it will be very different and a tough challenge. Our plan is to do as much testing as possible to learn the tracks, then run in Hottrax to get more familiarity and ultimately enter some British Superstock 1000 rounds.

“It is really exciting to be teaming up with Rhalf and SBK City Racing. I will benefit from their experience and I hope in turn to produce strong results for the team. I am also very grateful to CEA Projects for their sponsorship support. They have backed me for the last three seasons in Thailand, so it is fantastic that they are taking this step with us. Shark Helmets are backing me for a third year and I want to say a big thank you to them too.”

Before turning to Superbikes, Fortt, like many young Thai racers, began in motocross, then raced for two seasons in supermoto, winning races in the 250 and 400 classes and, in 2010, finishing third in Thailand’s national supermoto championship.

He displayed such a cool head in his early Superbike races that he earned the nickname ‘Iceman’ and quickly gathered an enthusiastic following. In view of the English winter he has just flown into, Fortt should have no problem keeping his cool at least until the start of the season.

Le team Supersonic BMW qui faisait courir Tommy Bridewell l'année dernière, se retire du BSB et seras présent dans le CIV avce une Suzuki.


Supersonic Racing have confirmed their departure from the MCE British Superbike Championship by announcing their entry into the Italian national series with Alex Polita.

Team owner Danilo Soncini had been holding out to find a title sponsor and remain in Britain but to no avail, so he has returned to his native country and will run Suzukis in Italy.

"I feel lucky to have finally close the deal with Alex. On the technical side, I have personally chosen to trust the best, in my opinion, because of his experience on the Suzuki, namely Marcello Boselli, not only for national pride (we are both Parmigiani), but because with him we can really afford to find the best possible Suzuki today in competitions, setting up the new bikes perfectly and give life to this new project by Supersonic Boselli Races, all supported officially by Suzuki Italy," said Soncini.

La vache, ce team aime le changement, en trois ans trois catégories.

2011 : Superbike sur Ducati avec Maxime Berger
2012 : BSB sur BMW avec Tommy Bridewell
2013 : CIV sur Suzuki avec Alex Polita

Cela laisse donc Bridewell sur le carreau

Gary Mason, lui aussi reste a la maison pour cette année.

Former British Superbike front-runner Gary Mason has taken a last-minute decision not to race in 2013, saying that he is all but broke and needs to concentrate on his business interests for 'at least a year'.

The Lichfield rider had been in line to return to a team with which he had ridden previously but the money he would have had to find to do so would have left him in serious financial difficulty.

"I got to the point where I wondered if it is all worth it. I love racing but I can no longer afford to race for nothing, or for it to cost money, so after a lot of thinking and talking with my fiancee and family, I have decided to call it a day for at least a year," said Mason, speaking to bikesportnews.com.

"It's a heartbreaking situation as this is what I have done ever since I was a kid but it doesn't pay the bills and I'm all but broke. There is also a lot of politics behind the scenes that I, frankly, can't be bothered with any more. Life is too short."

For the past couple of years, Mason has been involved in the UK part of Hornee Jeans and he will now concentrate on building the brand's presence in the UK.

"Without the pressures of racing, I can focus my attention on Hornee. It's a growing brand but there is a lot of interest both in the paddock and out. We will be sponsoring a couple of riders in BSB, so I won't be leaving it entirely behind.

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank my family, friends and sponsors who have made my racing career all possible, it's been a great journey I hope to be back sometime in the future."[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir cette image]

Tommy Bridewell avec Michael Rutter chez Bathams Honda


[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir cette image]

British Superbike veteran Michael Rutter has teamed up with young gun Tommy Bridewell in the Bathams Brewery-backed Quay Garage Honda squad for 2012.

Bridewell is a past alumnus of the West Country team and is looking forward to making a return to Ian Woollacott's team while for Rutter it is a new adventure in his 25th season of racing.

"I am really looking forward to the season. This team is very much like Supersonic; they have very similar philosophies when it comes to racing. They go racing for fun and for the passion and when I am in that environment that is when I race at my best," said Bridewell.

"I have my crew from last year with me again and there is no doubt in my mind that they can get that Honda working for me. We want even better results than last year and I want to be consistently on the podium; I want to be up there every round in 2013.

"I stand a good a chance as any of winning races this season and I want to be the top Honda rider out there. That won't be easy as there are a lot of really competitive Honda riders in BSB but I want to be battling up there with them and finishing ahead."

Rutter added: "This is a really good opportunity for me and I am looking forward to getting back on a Honda as that then means I am consistent with BSB, the World Endurance and the roads too. I want to be back in the top six again; we have done it before and I know that the Honda package is as strong as ever.

"We have the backing of Bathams and some really experienced crew; the bikes are the championship-winning ones from 2011 and I think they did a brilliant job then. The rules have changed massively but that just means that set-up is even more important. I wouldn't be back on the grid if I didn't think we could get the results."

La vache, c'est quand même une sacrée belle liste d'engagés


A la réflexion, je me demande si un championnat national fort n'est pas un handicap à l'international...
Je m'explique : pourquoi les sponsors (extra-sportifs) britanniques iraient assumer les frais conséquents d'un engagement en championnats du Monde alors qu'ils ont un championnat national de haut niveau, avec des pilotes qui ont pour une bonne moitié d'entre eux un palmarès non négligeable et surtout une organisation marketing et une couverture télévisuelle remarquables ?

Un sponsor (extra-sportif) français qui aurait l'idée saugrenue de vouloir utiliser la course moto comme vecteur d'image pour sa marque ne peut pas considérer le championnat de France comme une opportunité de se faire connaître du grand public, donc il va forcément s'intéresser au championnat du Monde pour que sa marque soit vue à la télé, ou renoncer (ce qui se passe dans 99% des cas, surtout quand il voit les audiences de la moto à la télé française...)

Alors qu'un sponsor anglais aura, dans le BSB, une couverture télé exceptionnelle, un accompagnement marketing très professionnel, et donc aucun intérêt à voir plus grand, sauf si son but est de diffuser sa marque à l'étranger aussi, bien entendu, mais là on touche à une autre catégorie de sponsors, pour lesquels la moto n'est qu'un support parmi d'autres, généralement.

D'où peut-être le peu de sponsors anglais pour des pilotes Britanniques, et le triste exemple de Gino Rea, contraint à renoncer à son projet Moto2-2013 parce que son seul sponsor, Russe, l'a planté à la dernière minute...

Juste réflexion Jarno.

Avec un exception notable : le CEV fort n'est pas un obstacle pour les pilotes et les teams espagnols aller en mondial. Mais on sait pourquoi... ce cas n'est pas duplicable.

Ton commentaire s'applique à la moto (exemple supplémentaire : le SBK allemand des années 90 étaient richement doté et cela n'incitait pas les piltes allemands à sortir de chez eu et aux autres sports, quitte à ne pas faire évoluer leur niveaux) mais aussi à d'autres sports.
Le basket américain qui ne s'exportait pas avant la "Dream team des JO" et ne s'exporte que peu encore.
Le tennis allemand des années 70 et 80 qui avait un championnat national sur 6 mois style ligue de football avec des gains très élevés (Becker a bouleversé la donne et son effet locomotive a fait chuté leur championnat).
L'automobile américaine, etc...

Pour revenir à la moto seule on peut noter que d'un autre côté, un championnat national faible n'est pas une garantie pour les pilotes et les teams de briller au niveau mondial.

Comme on peut remarquer que les GP ont toujours connu une ou deux nations de pilotes dominantes selon les périodes, il faudrait essayer d'analyser les conditions pour chaque période pour en tirer une hypothétique règle mais si on peut facilement trouver des constantes de conditions de réalisations, je sens (je ne fais que le sentir, je n'ai pas fait l'analyse) que ces constantes ne sont pas forcément suffisantes à l'explication de cette domination tournante.
De façon grossière, nous avons eu 4 périodes (je laisse de côté les petites cylindrées 10 et 125 qui n'obéissent pas aux mêmes règles à mon sens) :
- 50's et 60's : champions et concurrents italiens et anglais (avec le renfort des pilotes du Commonwealth)
- 70's pas vraiment de nations ultra dominantes au niveau des champions mais des nations fortes au niveau des concurrents (français, italiens)
- 80-début 90's : champions américains et concurrents français, italiens, espagnols
- début 90's début 2000's: champions australiens, italiens et espagnols, concurrents italiens et espagnols
- post début 2000's : champions espagnols et italiens, concurrents espagnols et italiens et "exotiques"

C'est un début de récolte des données, il est sans doute soumis à caution car rapidement et grossièrement fait (les exceptions sont absentes comme Stoner notamment dans cette liste et mérite d'être analysées aussi).
On constate la présence continue des italiens.
