075_p12_ellison_box.jpgA return to the Supersport World Championship class for double Superstock 1000 Champion James Ellison delivered some strong performances and some real disappointments, as he took part in WSS racing as a full time rider for the first time since 2002.

It was an unhappy experience for the British rider way back in 2002, but he looked like being a top runner for his Bogdanka PTR Honda team pre-season in 2011, despite suffering a knee injury that needed surgery in Australia, which held him back in his first race of the year, and also having his machine break down while battling in the top positions at his home round in Donington.

From then on a small software glitch that took some time to fix plagued his season, causing him problems every time he entered corners, until the final few rounds when it was rectified.

With a more predictable bike underneath him, Ellison was able to show his true form, and secured two podiums in the last four races. We caught up with him shortly after the end of the season.

Q: You got a couple of podium finishes in 2011 but how was your return to WSS racing compared to what you expected?

A: We certainly didn't get the results we wanted and it took us a long time to work out that there had been a problems with a part the software on the bike which meant that every time I was trying to brake into corners it was accelerating me into the corner, because the throttle butterflies were being opened up. We were trying to fix it with chassis changes when it was nothing to do with the chassis. I did not have enough experience on the 600 but I could tell them what it was doing, but it took for me to ride Sam's bike at Mallory Park for ten laps or whatever to realise that something was way off. So we put all those settings in our bike. Straight away at the next round in Germany we were about a tenth or so off of winning it!

Q: It sounds like it was a season of parts then, some up, some down?

A: After Germany it was really good and I was really looking forward to being at races again. When the bike did not work I just got frustrated with it. It is difficult to enjoy it because you know you are riding as you should be but the results were not there. Every time I approached it I said, "right, let's get this thing fixed," but we could never get to the bottom of it. There was no one particular person to blame, it was just one of those things. Once we got the bike fixed I knew that there was nothing wrong with my riding style. You do not lose riding talent overnight!

Q: How competitive was WSS this time around compared to you last competitive season there in 2002?

A: It's certainly competitive. It was like that when I rode the Kawasaki in 2002, but it is still vital to get the bike set-up to work for you. The competition is as tough as it was back then, but now I have more experienced and had a good group of people behind me. It was really only the middle of the season where we struggled, at the beginning and the end it was better. I knew at the end of this year than even if I was sixth off the line I would still have a chance of the podium.

Neuer Supersportler für 2012: Ducati 1199 Panigale
Mit diesem Superbike brennt Ducati ein technologisches Feuerwerk ab. Schon die Eckdaten lassen Sportfans nach Luft schnappen: 195 PS bei einem Leergewicht von nur 164 Kilogramm. Das sind satte 25 PS mehr und zehn Kilogramm Gewicht weniger als bei der Vorgängerin. Der V2-Motor wurde von Grund auf neu konstruiert und hängt mittragend in einem Moncoque-Chassis, was wesentlich zur Gewichtsersparnis beiträgt. ... > weiter

46_1199_panigale_s.jpgAt the EICMA show in Milan today Ducati showed its new 1199 Panigale Superbike to the world for the first time, having already stated that it will compete in the FIM Superstock 1000 Cup with this machine in 2012.

The new bike is still a 90-degree V-Twin with desmo valve system, of almost 1200cc, but virtually every component and of the machine is a departure from conventional Ducati engineering conventions. The engine orientation is now changed, with the cylinders slightly canted backwards from the previous layout.

The ‘chassis' has a monocoque front section which doubles as the airbox, and the heavily oversquare ‘Superquadro' engine is a fully stressed member, with the rear shock arrangement now sitting to the left side of the machine, laid down almost horizontally and operated by levers and cranks. The exhaust snakes under the engine and behind the rear cylinder, has silencers on either side of the machine.

Briten-Power gegen bayerischen Boxer
Dass Triumph mit der Tiger Explorer einen frontalen Angriff auf die BMW R 1200 GS starten würde war schon aufgrund der dürren Vorab-Infos klar: Großer Dreizylinder, viel enduro-typische Bodenfreiheit, aufrechte, langstreckentaugliche Sitzposition hinter hohem Windschild, breiter Lenker, 19/17-Zoll-Räder, Kardanantrieb mit Momentabstützung der hinteren Einarmschwinge. Auf der Eicma ergänzte Triumph endlich alles Weitere. ... > weiter

kenan_sofuoglu.jpgThe promotion of Lorenzini by Leoni as official Kawasaki team in the Supersport World Championship has now been followed by the signing of the category's two-times world champion, Kenan Sofuoglu. With Sofuoglu, the aim of the Italian team after the confirmation of the technical partnership with the Akashi manufacturer, is clearly to win next year's championship.

Sofuoglu, from Turkey, was Supersport World Champion in 2007 and in 2010. He has just finished a season in the Moto2 category, finishing in seventeenth position with a podium obtained in the Dutch round at Assen. With Kenan's arrival, a high level season is now on the cards, one that could make Kawasaki win again after the only title won in 2001 with Andrew Pitt.

"I am very happy for this opportunity given by Kawasaki which has arrived in a particular moment of my sporting career," declared Sofuoglu. "The experience in Moto2 was important, but, for me, it is fundamental to fight for the title and I am sure that with the Lorenzini team this will be possible. I come back to the Supersport World Championship happy for this choice, relying on the technical support of an important manufacturing company."

"I am very happy about Kenan's arrival, one of the strongest Supersport riders," said Lorenzini. "The season that is arriving will be extremely involving, but I am confident that with such a good rider and my team we will be able to honour the green Kawasaki ."

Neu: Vespa 46 mit neuem Dreiventil-Motor
Zunächst war sie nur als Designstudie gedacht, doch als Piaggio-Boss Roberto Colaninno sie zum ersten Mal sah, beschloss er kurzerhand, sie bauen zu lassen: Die Vespa 46, gesprochen Quarantasei, kommt mit ihren federleicht wirkenden Vintage-Formen und der schwebenden Sitzbank aber nicht nur bei Colaninno, sondern auch beim Publikum ausgesprochen gut an. ... > weiter
