I just got back home to Derby after my first Spanish Grand Prix.
I am very disappointed, it certainly wasn’t the race of my dreams, but as a final result I can’t complain.
I am very disappointed, not so much because I wasn’t fast, but rather because I can’t understand where the problems come from that slow [...]
Jerez, Motogp test – The protagonists of the MotoGP class came back to work today for a testing session after the Spanish GP, the opening race of the 2006 Championship.

Marco Melandri who yesterday conducted intelligently a difficult [...]
First day of practice – The long wait is over. The first day of practice for the opening round of the MotoGP World Championship took place today at Jerez de la Frontera.
After the long winter of testing the riders finally entered serious action today as they make their final preparations for the first race of [...]
Full steam ahead until 23 July, then a couple of weeks’ breathing time, and off again until 30 October.
I’m resting in the English countryside, the weather’s not great, which will make me appreciate even more the Spanish climate (normally sunny, fingers crossed).
I trained really hard until Sunday, on Saturday I spent a really cool day [...]
GP OF SPAIN – PREVIEW – The waiting is over.
After an intense winter of preparation that has seen the Team Fortuna Honda riders visit circuits in Malaysia, Australia and Spain, the battle for the 2006 world title is finally underway. The venue for the opening round of the MotoGP World Championship takes place at Jerez [...]
Jerez will be the biggest race of the last few years, the tension will be out of this world: it’s a universal, not a world, championship!!!!
Everyone is very fast and really psyched, Ducati and Kawasaki appearing for the first time alongside Pedrosa, and Valentino of course. I’ve been working really hard but I can feel [...]
This time I’m not writing to you from an aeroplane, but a motor home (it’s more like a camper van, but motor home sounds cooler!)
It’s damn difficult writing from here, it feels like constant turbulence.
The evergreen Cyborg and the new recruit Eddy (I mean as a driver, because he only recently passed his driving test) [...]
FOTUNA HONDA riders Toni Elias and Marco Melandri today completed their pre-season testing schedule ahead of the 2006 MotoGP World Championship.
The riders made the most of excellent conditions and spent the entire day lapping at the final IRTA session of the pre-season. The Fortuna duo both spent the day working on a set-up for the [...]
Another hard day for the Fortuna Honda Team at the Jerez de la Frontera for the second day of the last pre-season test.
Sunshine ruled throughout the day and the Fortuna Honda riders could profit of nice track conditions (19degrees the air temperature, 32 degrees the asphalt).
Marco Melandri worked a lot on the bike and completed [...]
The final day of official IRTA tests at the Circuit de Catalunya was watched by 35,000 fans today
although they and the MotoGP riders were forced to endure bitter weather conditions that made life difficult on the track and in the grandstand. The BMW Award that took place between 14:00 and 14:45 was spoiled slightly by [...]
