Feeling the Heat in Germany www.bridgestonemotorsport.com GERMANY 08 18/07/2010 TyRE Talk Feeling ThE hEaT in Germany Tohru ubukata - Manager, Bridgestone Motorcycle Tyre Development The challenge for Bridgestone’s tyres to withstand the temperature and loads comes from the fact that the abrasive generated around Sachsenring’s fast and tarmac generates high tyre temperatures long left-handers, especially the complex Sachsenring starts with two slow right-hand and accelerates tyre wear. The lap is run from turn 7 to 11 during which riders are corners but then opens into a series of very high anti-clockwise, with ten lefts and only accelerating hard, and the final two corners speed long lefts that sweep onto the back straight and to the finish, generating a lot of temperature in four rights, which places higher loads on which are very fast. the left shoulder of the tyres.

  • KONICA MINOLTA Honda Takes Hard-Fought Point at Scorching Catalunya
    Barcelona, Spain, Sunday 10th June 2007 KONICA MINOLTA Honda takes hard-fought point at scorching Catalunya KONICA MINOLTA Honda scored a point at today’s exciting Catalan MotoGP race. Ducati’s Casey Stoner took the win after a fierce battle with Yamaha’s Valentino Rossi and Repsol Honda’s Dani Pedrosa. KONICA MINOLTA Honda will now stay on at the Barcelona track and spend tomorrow looking at the data from this weekend to test further set-up and tyre combinations in a bid to improve their performance before heading to Donington Park for the British Grand Prix in two weeks’ time. Gianluca Montiron – Team Manager KONICA MINOLTA Honda “Today was a very exciting race and probably one of the best that I have ever seen! Perfect for the 112,000 fans watching at the circuit. Obviously for us we were expecting to get a better result today, but we suffered a little from the nature of the Montmeló circuit where the grip levels can change with the track temperature or conditions. When Shinya tried to push hard in the corners he would run wide, but tonight we can look at the data again as we are staying at the circuit to test tomorrow and I’m sure all the Team members will be working hard to find an improved set-up combination for our Honda RC212V. I think we are in a transitory period at the moment, where we have to work hard with the package we have, safe in the knowledge that our Technical Partners and the Team will find a solution for improved performance.

  • KONICA MINOLTA Honda Taken out of the Chinese GP
    Shanghai, China, Sunday 6th May, 2007 KONICA MINOLTA Honda taken out of the Chinese GP KONICA MINOLTA Honda suffered their first DNF of the season so far in the Chinese GP today, following an early-race clash between Shinya Nakano and Tech 3 Yamaha’s Makoto Tamada. The incident happened towards the end of the third lap at the tight hairpin after the long back straight. It appeared that Tamada missed his braking point and lost the front of his Yamaha M1 unfortunately taking Nakano down with him. Thankfully neither rider was injured in the crash. Shinya had made a solid start from 10th on the grid and had climbed to eighth on the first lap before dropping back to 10th. Casey Stoner won the race on the Bridgestone-shod Ducati from Valentino Rossi (Yamaha) and John Hopkins (Suzuki). The Australian now leads the championship by an increased margin. The first Michelin-shod Honda home was Repsol Honda’s Dani Pedrosa, who won last year’s race. Gianluca Montiron – Team Manager KONICA MINOLTA Honda “This is racing and these things happen unfortunately. After a good start Shinya was battling with Chris Vermeulen (Suzuki) and then Makoto Tamada (Yamaha) before the incident happened. It seemed as if Makoto lost the front at the last hairpin and crashed, unfortunately for us Shinya was just in front of him and got taken down. I would like to say that from our time with Makoto as our rider for many years we know he’s a good, clean safe rider and this was just one of those things.

  • Ducati Panigale V4
    DUCATI PANIGALE V4 The 2020 version of the Panigale V4 boosts performance even further and takes track riding to the next level for amateurs and pros alike. A series of refinements make for an easier, more user-friendly, less fatiguing ride while simultaneously making the bike faster not just on individual laps but over entire timed sessions. Ducati and Ducati Corse engineers have crunched the feedback/data numbers from customers all over the world and Superbike World Championship events. Their analysis has led to a series of aerodynamic, chassis, electronic control and Ride by Wire mapping changes: designed to increase stability and turn-in speed, these changes make it easier to close corners and ensure riders enjoy more confident throttle control. The Panigale V4 is now equipped with content taken from the V4 R. For example, the aerodynamic package provides enhanced airflow protection and improves overall vehicle stability, enhancing confidence. The Front Frame, instead, modifies stiffness to give better front-end 'feel' at extreme lean angles. What's more, the bike includes DTC and DQS up/down EVO 2 strategies. Thanks to a new 'predictive' control strategy, Ducati Traction Control (DTC) EVO 2 significantly improves out-of-the-corner power control; Ducati Quick Shift up/down (DQS) EVO 2, instead, shortens up-shift times, allowing sportier high-rev gear shifts (over 10,000 rpm) and boosting shift stability during aggressive acceleration and cornering. To hone bike balance throughout the ride, changes to the suspension set-up have focused on redefining suspension stiffness, center of gravity height and chain force angle.
