Monster Energy Yamaha Motogp Are #Inittowinit in 2021
Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP are #InItToWinIt in 2021 February 16, 2021 – The Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP team broadcast a virtual reality team presentation to officially open their 2021 campaign. The launch event’s theme #InItToWinIt echoes the mindset of a team spearheaded by two young and competitive riders, Maverick Viñales and Fabio Quartararo, ahead of the 2021 MotoGP World Championship kick-off in Qatar in March. With this year marking Yamaha’s sixtieth anniversary of its first ever Grand Prix endeavour, the Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP team is raring to start the 2021 World Championship action. To set the tone for a new season that’s full of endless possibilities and which they will be tackling with a new rider line- up, the team found an innovative way to open its doors to the fans and media. Making use of the latest technology, they gave a virtual reality presentation to show off their eager young riders Maverick Viñales and Fabio Quartararo, the 2021 Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP YZR-M1s, as well as the team’s close relationship with title sponsor Monster Energy Company. The team launch was led by renowned TV F1 presenter Federica Masolin, who is also an avid MotoGP fan. She invited Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd.’s MotoGP Group Leader Takahiro Sumi, Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Team Principal & Yamaha Motor Racing Managing Director Lin Jarvis, Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Team Director Massimo Meregalli, Factory Yamaha riders Maverick Viñales and Fabio Quartararo, and Monster Energy’s Senior Vice President of Sports Marketing Mitch Covington to share their thoughts on the upcoming MotoGP action before the 2021 Yamaha YZR-M1s were unveiled. -

Petition to NHTSA Concerning Motorcycle
May 30, 2013 The Honorable David L. Strickland Administrator National Highway Traffic Safety Administration 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE Washington, DC 20590 Dear Administrator Strickland: The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and the Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI) hereby petition the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to upgrade the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 122 Motorcycle brake systems (49 CFR 571.122). The current standard allows manufacturers to install antilock braking systems (ABS) and specifies performance standards specific to ABS. This standard should be strengthened to require ABS on all new motorcycles manufactured for on-highway use in the United States. Research by IIHS and HLDI indicate that ABS reduces the motorcycle fatal crash rate by an estimated 31 percent and the collision insurance claim rate by an estimated 20 percent. Operating the brakes on motorcycles is more complicated than on passenger vehicles, and locking a wheel during hard braking results in much more dangerous consequences. As such, riders may be reluctant to apply full braking force for fear of locking a wheel, resulting in an otherwise avoidable crash or a more severe one. The Hurt et al. (1981) and MAIDS (Association of European Motorcycle Manufacturers, 2004) in-depth studies of motorcycle crashes had examples of loss of control due to wheel lock and of failure to adequately brake. ABS allows a rider to easily maximize braking force during an emergency without fear of locking a wheel. Studies conducted on closed test tracks have demonstrated that ABS improves braking performance of both novice and experienced riders (Vavryn and Winkelbauer, 2004) and in a variety of situations (Green, 2006).
