Yamaha Gets Serious About India with $500 Motorcycle
I wax on about the importance of the Indian market with far too much regularity to regurgitate it yet another time, but its suffices to say that like Ron Burgundy, India is a pretty big deal.

2012 Aragon World Superbike and World Supersport Press Release Previews
Press releases from the World Superbike and World Supersport teams ahead of this weekend's eighth round of WSBK at Aragon:

Honda Gresini Assen Preview
Alvaro Bautista's first ever MotoGP pole position at Silverstone came as no coincidence but as the result of many weeks of hard work. The Team San Carlo Honda Gresini rider was able to take the definitive step forward in a post-race test at Barcelona followed by another session at Aragon and now he is ready to play a lead role in the MotoGP World Championship as the series enters its second third at Assen. Teamwork is proving crucial to the Spaniard's progress as well as that of the CRT project, with Michele Pirro also closing the gap to the leaders and looking ready to fight for the top CRT spot. As usual the legendary Assen circuit promises to be a fascinating event.
Alvaro Bautista ?Silverstone was definitely a very positive weekend for us. After the changes we made in Barcelona my feeling with the bike improved a lot and at Silverstone we were able to confirm it. I felt comfortable and safe on the bike from the start and I was able to have fun, which showed through with the pole position on Saturday, my first in MotoGP, and in the fact I ran with the front group throughout the race on Sunday. It was an important race for me and I was able to learn a lot from running with them. It was a very significant fourth place because it is my best result in MotoGP and it was a nice reward for the team. I was able to celebrate a little after Silverstone with my friends but I have been training hard because we have three back-to-back races coming up and fitness will be crucial. At Assen I will try to confirm my good form from Silverstone, run with the front pack again and continue making progress. The next objective is obviously the podium but we can't become obsessed with chasing it because I am sure that if we continue working as we are then sooner or later it will come. Assen is a legendary track with a mixture of fast and slow corners and a lot of fast direction changes. Obviously the weather always plays an important role with the cold temperatures and constant threat of rain. The old circuit was definitely more interesting and I really liked it but the new layout has some nice corners too. The atmosphere is always incredible at Assen and it's just a big motorcycling festival.?
Michele Pirro ?At Silverstone we were able to confirm that we are on the right path. We made significant progress at the tests in Barcelona and Aragon and in England we were able to have a good race and run with the best of the CRTs. The work that the guys in the team are doing is so important and I think that if we can take another step than we can make a strong challenge to be the top CRT. We have some updates on the way that I think will help us move forward and I am very optimistic about the future. Over the week off I made a quick trip home to Puglia to catch up with friends and family and now I am ready for Assen. The circuit is one of my favourites and I am sure we can have another strong race. Obviously the question mark will be over the weather because you never know what you will get in Holland and it can change very quickly.?
Fausto Gresini ?I was very satisfied with the results at Silverstone, in practice and in the race. After his splendid pole position on Saturday Alvaro was able to run with the front group throughout the race so the goal for Assen is to prove that was no fluke. We know anything is possible because Honda have provided us with a great motorcycle and the work being done by Showa is allowing Alvaro great confidence with the RC213V in wet or dry conditions. After Barcelona and Aragon we have made significant progress and there will be no shortage of determination to continue working in this way. We are also taking significant steps with the CRT project. At Silverstone Michele was again fighting with the best CRTs out there and I think he is very close to achieving a top result in what is a very hard-fought category. Michele and his team are doing a great job and in limited time they are turning our project into a competitive package. Development continues at Assen and with some updates on the way we should be ready to take another step forward.?

Promising Start for Rossi and Hayden at Assen FP
The first day of free practice at the Dutch TT saw both Ducati Team riders reduce their gaps to the top of the time sheets. Nicky Hayden, who was third overall at day?s end, is just one tenth of a second from the provisional pole, while Valentino Rossi, who was eighth, has a gap of approximately four tenths. The Italian set his best time with the hard tyre.
The sessions took place in dry conditions, and both Rossi and Hayden hope that the good weather will continue tomorrow so that they can also try to improve their race pace.
Nicky Hayden (Ducati Team) 3rd (1:34.968)
?I really like the Assen track, and the weather was perfect today. The team had some good ideas, and we tried a couple of things. I enjoyed riding the bike, and the day went pretty well. This morning we used the hard tyre for the entire session, and I was able to improve the rhythm in the last exit, with a tyre that had quite a few laps on it. This afternoon we didn?t make any big adjustments because the bike is working pretty well at the moment. Tomorrow we?re going to work on making the bike better at changing direction, and we?ll keep trying to make it better for race distance.?
Valentino Rossi (Ducati Team) 9th (1:35.296)
?Today went pretty well, especially in the afternoon. I?m eighth, but the gap to the front is only four tenths, which is a decent step forward for us. Now the bike works well with new tyres, but we have to keep working on our race pace. Both Nicky and I start sliding a lot when the tyre is worn, so we have to slow down too much compared to the others. Tomorrow, in order to be more consistent and improve the pace, we must try to improve rear grip without losing it at the front. Anyway, today wasn?t a bad start.?

Vaculik was subbing in for Polish star Jaroslaw Hampel how is recuperating from a damaged leg and is now a initial Slovakian to win a Speedway Grand Prix, and usually a third supplement to win on entrance ? fasten greats Tomasz Gollob and Emil Sayfutdinov on that list.
On a rain-affected circuit Vaculik claimed a overwhelming win from Holder and 17-year-old furious label Bartosz Zmarzlik putting dual debutantes on a lectern for a initial time given 1995.
“This is unbelievable. we consider it?s a best feeling in a world. we won my hardest assembly ever. I?m really happy and it?s a cold feeling,” Vaculik said.
“I won a Grand Prix and we couldn?t have illusory I?d win before a meeting. I?m really happy and we wish to contend a large appreciate we to my team. My motorcycles were really quick and good in a conditions.”
Like many Speedway riders Vaculik runs a tiresome report opposite Europe, racing several times a week.
“The Polish and Swedish leagues are a best schools for a speedway rider,” he said. “Winning this is only a reward for me. I?m holding knowledge all a time and we wish to be a really good rider.
Start of sidebar. Skip to finish of sidebar.
End of sidebar. Return to start of sidebar.
“Consistency is a pivotal to success. You need to have some good starts and get good points. Getting dual or 3 points in each feverishness is ideal and we had no ones or lasts, so that?s really good.”
Vaculik could have a possibility to follow another bullion award in a FIM Fogo Croatian SGP during Gorican on Jul 28, as Hampel has certified he faces a genuine conflict to be fit for a event.
The former World Under-21 finalist would adore another shot during a large time, though said: “I?m contemptible for Jarek and we wish he will be behind really soon.
“If he?s not behind for Gorican, afterwards I?ll be there. But that?s a destiny ? I?m concentrating on tomorrow?s joining assembly (between Tarnow and Rzeszow). What will be, will be.”
Holder was gay to lift out dual wins in his final dual feverishness races and go on to collect a china medal.
“Second is awesome. we came here to make a final and get some points. It?s so formidable to get points ? even in a feverishness races,” Holder said.
“After 3 races, we was on 5 and we was only perplexing to scratch into a semi. we got there, took embankment 4 and it paid off.
“The sleet substantially helped me a bit in a final since we was off embankment 3 and suspicion a boys would go to a outside. we went to a inside, it worked for a lap, though it wasn?t as good as we suspicion and we finished adult carrying a good competition with Bart.
“I?m only happy to be here. we got a lot of points in a bag. It?s great.”
Third-placed Zmarzlik could perceptibly trust his outcome in Gorzow.
“I took a lane travel a integrate of hours before a assembly began. we only had a really brief demeanour during a podium,” he said.
“I was meditative ?what on earth would it feel like if we was to mount on one of those soap-box positions?? we only couldn?t trust that a few hours after we was in that mark and done a same kind of entrance Darcy Ward done in Torun final year. It was wonderful.”
Despite blank a final Greg Hancock extended his World Championship lead to 9 points after claiming 12.
Holder?s 17-point transport puts him turn with Jason Crump in second place on 78 after a triple universe champion missed a semi-finals on five.
The speedway universe is now Focussed on a FIM Speedway World Cup, that gets underway with Event 1 during Bydgoszcz on Saturday, before Event 2 takes place during King?s Lynn on Jul 9.

FOOL FOOL FOOL FOOLS FALL IN LOVE FOOLS RUSH IN WHERE ANGELS FEAR TO TREAD THAT S WHAT YOU GET FOR LOVIN ME
Photographer's Blog: This is No Sport for Old Men
Sometimes the guy in 6th place gets there with such style that his story is more compelling, more inspiring, and more enjoyable than the victor's. For me, the biggest story of Silverstone 2012 starts at least as early as Donington in 2008. James Toseland showed up to his home race in his rookie G.P. year to find the expected amount of media attention. It seemed in the days leading up the race that Toseland was on every front page in the country, and it also seemed impossible for any literate person in the U.K. not to know he was the local boy in the coming race at Donington Park. Not shy on courage, Toseland wore the English flag on his shoulders, literally, by appearing on Sunday in custom white leathers adorned with the red cross of St. George.
What unfolded as the race began was painful to watch, even as a foreigner. Toseland charged into the first turn at Redgate and crashed. He gathered himself and his bike up and continued on, far behind the race for the victory, but was cheered as he made his lonely way from grandstand to grandstand. At least local hopes for a good result had not been made to suffer for long.
