Adding to the unique victory, it was Honda Dunlop rider Ian Hutchinson who took all five victories, the only time in the 101-year history of the TT races that a single rider has swept every race. In the Superbike and Senior TT classes Hutchinson used Dunlop N-Tec slicks, while his choice of tires in the Supersport and Superstock classes was the Dunlop D211GP. The TT week delivered an impressive tally for Dunlop, with a clean sweep of five race wins, 10 podium finishes and two lap records. -

This is causing serious problems for all of Switzer- land apart from some sections of the financial community. Some of the air of stagnation and resignation, which we see in many of our political leaders, is beginning to spread right across the country. The collapse of Swissair-Swiss then Swiss-Lufthansa is one upsetting and depressing example of this. In fact, I am outraged that in Switzerland, the land of some great business founders of the past, we are no longer able to find enough entrepreneurs capable of preserving and developing the heritage that has been handed down to us, and of which we are the guardians. -

Sherwood, Speirs Rewarded
Sherwood, Speirs rewarded FAITH SUTHERLAND/Fairfax NZ TAI CWAN-DO ATTITUDE: Sportswomen of the year Estelle Speirs with her partner Kane Baigent who won coach of the year. Relevant offers Freestyle motocross rider Levi Sherwood made up for not being nominated last year by being supreme winner at the Manawatu Sportsperson of the Year Awards. Sherwood was named the sportsman of the year and the overall sportsperson of the year when the gongs were handed out at the Awapuni Function Centre last night. The judges may have had a guilty conscience after Sherwood didn't even register last year when he won the Red Bull X-Fighters world tour, as well as a silver medal in Moto X Freestyle event at the X Games in Los Angeles. This year he had an injury-disrupted season and finished only fifth in the X-Fighters and fourth at the X Games. He did have multiple top five placings with a second and third in Mexico and Dubai. The 22-year-old wasn't able to receive the award last night because he is at the Big Boys Toys show in Auckland, but had his uncle Robin and aunt Denise collect it on his behalf. The sportsman was a tough category this year, with All Blacks Aaron Smith and Aaron Cruden contenders, as well as speedway legend Peter Rees. Top road cyclist Jesse Sergent wasn't even a finalist. Taekwondo was the surprise winner in two of the other major categories, picking up the sportswoman and coach of the year awards. Estelle Speirs was the sportswoman after she was the first New Zealand women to win a gold medal in sparring at a world event, at the 2012 World Cup. -
Spettacolari I Red Bull X-Fighters in Messico
Spettacolari i Red Bull X-Fighters in Messico Già nella prima tappa del 2015 Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour al Monumental Plaza de Toros, una pista incredibile ha visto una battaglia altrettanto incredibile, dove 12 top rider del motocross freestyle hanno regalato emozioni a tutto il pubblico presente. Nonostante il vento, che soffiato con violenza nella più grande arena del mondo, e contrariamente a tutti i pronostici, Clinton Moore conquista il round inaugurale dei Red Bull X-Fighters World Tour 2015. A Città del Messico, l’australiano ha messo a segno alcuni dei più impressionanti tricks del freestyle motocross che gli hanno permesso di finire davanti alle star della disciplina. Nella serata di venerdì nulla hanno potuto tre ex campioni come il neozelandese Levi Sherwood, secondo, il francese Tom Pagès, terzo, e lo spagnolo Dany Torres, quarto. I 38.000 spettatori che hanno gremito l’imponente Monumental Plaza de Toros sono stati stregati da Moore, atleta non certamente abituato alle posizioni di vertice dato che, nelle precedenti sei apparizioni nel World Tour, non aveva mai superato i quarti di finale. Questa volta, però, il 26enne di Bundaberg ha centrato uno straordinario en-plein atterrando perfettamente dopo un Bondy Body Varial e un Flair, durante la stessa manche. L’audacia di Moore ha pagato anche in qualifica dove ha battuto Spettacolari i Red Bull X-Fighters in Messico Levi Sherwood, che ha comunque scritto la storia atterrando dopo un Transfer Flip. Mai nessuno c’era riuscito in una competizione. Red Bull X-Fighters Messico 2015, i risultati: 1. Clinton Moore (AUS) 2. -

De nouveaux records, de nouveaux bénéfices, une nouvelle croissance ainsi que des perspectives positives pour l’année 2008, c’est cela qui nous rend fort. Bien sûr, c’est précisément maintenant, alors que la crise financière avec son cortège de répercussions négatives sur le cours des devises et les cotations boursières frappe de plein fouet de nombreux établissements bancaires aux Etats-Unis, en Suisse et dans d’autres pays européens que les pessimistes, les sceptiques et autres incrédules à la mentalité étroitement boursière ne manquent pas de découvrir des milliers de motifs pour expliquer pourquoi la croissance du Swatch Group stoppera en 2008 et en 2009. Cela fait 25 ans que je vis cela et j’ai déjà entendu toutes les raisons possibles, même les plus hypocrites, au nom desquelles ce retournement de situation serait inévitable. Quelques-uns de ces pessimistes, sceptiques et incrédules sont simplement effrayés par tout ce qui se passe dans la vie et dans l’univers. -
