As Quote…

“I am very happy! Today is a good day because I have decided to remain with the Yamaha Factory Team in 2010. It was a very important decision and that’s why I have had to take the last few weeks to make it, but I think that this is the best decision for me in this moment. I want to thank Yamaha because they have always done everything that they have promised, and I especially would like to say thank you to Lin Jarvis and Masao Furusawa.”

After all the speculation and flying rumors, after all the negotiations and time spent, Jorge Lorenzo, now set the future of Yamaha has signed an one year extended contract with Yamaha.  I can imagine all the Ducati fans not as excited as Yamaha fans would be. But at least now we can rest with ease and see the rest of the grid properly filled up! I say Honda is staying as to where they are and Ducati as well.  Maybe the spotlight will move to the American World Champion, Nicky Hayden…

We are proud to say to have include two new team members to the family of AS|TWO, Adella & Bobby. This is a picture of Adella back when she was racing Motocross fully sponsored by Suzuki!

Welcome to the family guys!

It’s a pretty fun watch. How come only Yamaha do these great gigs? I haven’t seen any other manufacturer take the time to have some fun!

This time of the year of every year, it’s considered silly season. It is when the riders of professional motorcycle racing gets into negotiation mode for their following year ride and salary. Some stays, some will switch racing series, and some will switch teams.

Rumors are running around that Ben Spies, WSBK rookie-superstar is negotiating with Aprilia for a ride with Max Biaggi for 2010.  Ben Spies is raising his asking price to 1.1 million Euros which is 10% more of what he’s currently receiving from Yamaha.  Yamaha Motor Europe Racing Division Manager, Laurens Klein Koerkamp has not confirmed an agreement with Ben Spies’s new asking price.  On the other hand, Aprilia is more than happy to let go Shinya Nakano for the new WSBK sensation and pay for the asking price.  Aprilia’s racing manager Giampiero Sacchi has said: “If he wants to, he can sign with us right away.” In addition, Tech 3 Yamaha wants to sign Ben as well, where would he go?  It’s not surprised to see the Texan receive so many offers since he’s been putting on an excellent performance with brand new tracks, brand new team and brand new bike.

Stay tuned for more updates with this “silly season”.

Enjoy!!
