MotoGP Elites Addresses Media Before Sunday’s Race at Aragon

MotoGP 2014 standings leader Marc Marquez won the last premier class race at Aragon and he is certainly looking to repeat that performance on this Sunday, Sept 28th. Especially, after finishing 15ht at Misano as the youngest MotoGP World Champion crashed his bike when he was in hot pursuit of eventual race winner Valentino Rossi. However, now he is looking to make amends as addressing the media at the press meeting before the race in Aragon, Marc said that at Misano they were not prepared to fight for the victory.

That’s’ not all, another challenge for Dani is to finish the race in Aragon as during last in the circuit Pedrosa’s bike got crashed when Marquez unintentionally nudged his bike. Dani will now be looking to make a fresh start by erasing that memory.

Valentino’s partner Jorge Lorenzo, who is still in search of his first victory of 2014 season, said that it’s not too good to win a race after securing so many second places. Still Jorge believes that second position is not too bad because they participating in MotoGP and every rider come here to win the race. Lorenzo said that he wants to register a win this year, but it’s not that easy. He also said that they getting stronger with every race, but the wrong tyre choice in Misano have dented their efforts and they need to learn from it. Jorge confessed that track in Aragon does not help them much, but they had conducted a good test here and also had a good race during 2013 season, so they will fight.

On this occasion the representative of the Circuits of Wales, Chris Herring said while talking to the media three weeks ago when they announced 5-year deal with MotoGP, both the Circuit of Wales and Dorna agreed to find a venue for 2015.

Adding to it, Herring said that it is in the best interest of everyone, particularly the fans, to reach a decision as early as possible and in the form of Donington Park now they have a venue that shares their vision of growing MotoGP in the United Kingdom.

Originally it’s the Circuit of Wales that has to host the British Grand Prix from next year according to the 5-year deal with MotoGP that is starting from 2015 and includes a further 5-year extension option. However, since the construction of Circuit of Wales is yet to begin and it may not be finished till the time next MotoGP race will take place in the UK. Therefore, the Circuit of Wales decided to find another venue for 2015 before the race moves to the new circuit in 2016.

The CEO of Dorna, Carmelo Ezpeleta said on this occasion that the Circuit of Wales has really work hard to quickly seize the best deal for the MotoGP fans in the UK and they believe that Donington Park will prove a fantastic race venue for 2015.

Philips continued by saying that they were very keen to keep MotoGP here as they cannot afford to subsidize it. So they are very disappointed for not hosting the 2015 British MotoGP.

Richard also said that they made their best and sensible offer to keep the event at Silverstone, but it appears that the Circuits of Wales that has no experience in hosting a Grand Prix event have decided to run it themselves by using Donington Park as alternate circuit until their venue gets ready. Philips said that in last five years Silverstone has taken the British MotoGP race to all-new level, so they anticipate that this move would not turn out to be a regressive step.

One cannot predict how successful the Circuit of Wales will remain in hosting the British MotoGP, but one thing is for certain that riders will get high quality motorcycle accessories and clothing at unbeatable prices from J&S Accessories.

Adding to it the Team Principal said that he believe that they are in talks with Aspar and Lucio Cecchinello of LCR Honda MotoGP, also they had made an offer to them as well.

Still he was extremely grateful to Marc as Bartholemy said that the help Straten has offered them for the next three years on such a short notice was really commendable because no other person would have done that for them, so hats off to him. Nevertheless, they do not have everything to have the bike during next season, said Michael.

In fact, at one stage of the race the two made a slight contact as well before Marquez finally made the move and left the Yamaha rider behind. On the other side, 7-time World Champion Rossi was chased hard by Marc’s teammate Pedrosa and Dovizioso, but the doctor never allowed them to outstrip him and seized the third position. The doctor also made a new record of 246 starts in MotoGP by racing at the Silverstone circuit.

 Monster Yamaha Tech3’s Pol Espargaro also produced a solid result as he was the sixth rider to cross the chequered flag. LCR Honda MotoGP’s Stefan Bradl, Pramac Racing’s Andrea Iannone, NGM Forward Racing’s Aleix Espargaro finished seventh, eighth and ninth respectively. While, Scotting Redding of GO&FUN Honda Gresini was the only British rider who finished among the top ten riders as he crossed the line in tenth place. The other three British riders partaking in the competition were not as impressive as Redding was.
