  • Press Information
    PRESS INFORMATION MICHELIN CELEBRATES 400 VICTORIES Michelin scored its 400th premier class motorcycle Grand Prix win at Jerez in Spain last weekend as Marc Marquez took victory in Sunday’s MotoGP™ race which saw the French company reach an incredible milestone. Michelin joined the 500cc World Championship in 1973 and recorded its first victory at the famous Isle of Man TT course as Jack Findlay from Australia raced to victory in the Senior Tourist Trophy event on a Suzuki. The introduction to Grand Prix led Michelin to create bespoke motorcycle racing tyres in 1974, prior to that they had been derived from road tyres, and this innovation led to the first slick tyre being used in 1975, a move which led to Barry Sheene winning for the first time on a slick at the Assen TT in The Netherlands that year. Sheene grew on this success and took Michelin’s first 500cc World Championship in 1976, a feat he repeated in 1977, which also saw Michelin win every race in the premier class. Success continued with world titles and more landmarks, such as Michelin’s innovative radial tyre making its racing debut in 1984. The first victory for a radial front came at the second round of that year during the Nations GP at Misano in Italy, as Freddie Spencer took the top step of the podium, followed by the first victory for a completely radial shod machine - front and rear – later that season, when Randy Mamola won the San Marino Grand Prix at Mugello. Between the years of 1986 and 1989 Michelin took a clean sweep of all the Grand Prix classes, with victory in the 500cc, 250cc 125cc and 80cc championships, but it was in the premier class that the wins continued to grow.

  • SUZUKI RACING HISTORY in the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP Team
    SUZUKI RACING HISTORY IN THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP Team Suzuki Press Office – November 15. A lookback at the history of Suzuki as a cotton loom works in 1909 to moving to motorcycles and ultimately world motorcycling’s most prestigious accolade. CHAPTER 1 - The Beginning: Suzuki has its historical roots in another industry. The founder, Michio Suzuki, was an innovator who built a weaving factory called Suzuki Loom Works in the small coastal town of Hamamatsu, in Japan’s Shizuoka Prefecture, in 1909. The production focused on cotton fabrics. CHAPTER 2 - 1950’s: FROM LOOMS TO ASPHALT: World War II and the post war period left Suzuki in crisis and forced large-scale restructuring. In 1952, as a result of this climate of uncertainty, Suzuki decided to manufacture their first motorised bicycle. 1952 - The Birth of the First Motorised Bicycle: Named the “Power Free”, the bike was designed as an economical vehicle for those on a low budget. It was powered by a 36cc two-stroke engine anchored to a conventional bicycle. Its versatile design meant it could be ridden in a variety of ways; pedalled without power from the engine, or with full or partial power from the engine. CHAPTER 3 - 1960’s: SUZUKI START RACING: From the racing debut, to Degner, Anderson and Suzuki’s dominance. 1960: The Racing Debut: The Tourist Trophy in the awe-inspiring Isle of Man was the first ever race in which Suzuki participated. All three Suzuki entrants finished the race. 1962: Finding Success: An East German rider, Ernst Degner, rode Suzuki to their first victory in the Isle of Man TT with a 50cc prototype called RM62.
