Lin Jarvis: MotoGP Must Look to Asia, South America for Growth

Mar 29, 2012 by admin

One subject has dominated the past three years of MotoGP, and indeed all of motorcycle racing. Despite some thrilling racing, technical innovation and both fascinating and tragic stories, the main topic of conversation among those involved in motorcycle racing has been how to cut costs. A raft of new regulations have been introduced, and even more radical changes are currently under discussion for the next few years.

At the official presentation of Yamaha's 2012 MotoGP campaign, Yamaha Racing Managing Director Lin Jarvis spoke to MotoMatters.com about the need for MotoGP to shift its focus, from just tinkering with the technical regulations to trying to expand its audience base and generate more income, taking advantage of new media and a more international audience to tap into new markets and more potential sponsors. "The technical regulations are very, very important, and bringing costs down is very important," Jarvis told us. "But the other thing is how to increase the popularity of the sport, and increase the revenue. Just saving costs is still shrinking."

2012 IRTA MotoGP Jerez Test Day 3 Times, 2pm: Lorenzo Leads Repsol Riders

Mar 29, 2012 by admin

After yesterday's miserable conditions, the weather at Jerez on Sunday is nearly perfect. The sun is out, the wind has dropped, and the track is plenty warm. The teams are all very busy trying to catch up after losing most of a day yesterday, and the track is very busy, as is the circuit, with over 5,000 fans turning out for the test.

At 2pm, Yamaha's Jorge Lorenzo is the fastest man on track, leading the Repsol Hondas of Dani Pedrosa and Casey Stoner, while Ben Spies completes the Yamaha/Honda sandwich. San Carlo Gresini Honda's Alvaro Bautista is the best of the satellite riders, just a fraction ahead of Cal Crutchlow on the Monster Tech 3 Yamaha. Nicky Hayden leads the factory Ducatis, Hayden 1.3 behind Lorenzo, teammate Valentino Rossi 1.5 slower, though both have closed the gap compared to Friday. Randy de Puniet is the first of the CRT bikes, though today, he is slower than all of the satellite bikes, and nearly two and a half seconds behind Lorenzo.

RJ Says: 100% is Back!

Mar 29, 2012 by admin

100%? It is how I try to live my life.

In 1982, I got a phone call from a guy I knew at the races. His name was Drew Lien. The conversation went like this:

Drew: I dig your bull dog style and never give up attitude. I’m starting a company and would love to sponsor you. I can’t pay you right now, but I will give you all the free product you can have.

Me: Whats it called?

Drew: 100%

Me: What will you sell?

Drew: Heat shields and numbers.

Me: I’m in…

A few months later, all the top racers ran 100%: Bailey, O’mara, Ward, Glover, Lechien, Kehoe, Holley, and the list goes on.

From that point on 100% has been my life motto. I am giving 100% in whatever I do. Truck racing, coaching, working or loving my family. Win or lose. Happy or sad.

If I am giving 100%, I can go to sleep KNOWING I have done my best.

Drew has past, but his dream lives on. He was a special person with a big dream. God Speed my friend.

HOW MUCH EFFORT DO YOU GIVE?

Ricky Johnson
