Akiyoshi in for Pedrosa

Overweight Japanese test mule Kousuke Akiyoshi has been un-sensationally drafted in to replace the injured kneecap of Dani Pedrosa for the upcoming MotoGP test at Jerez.

"He's piled on the noodles for sure" exclaimed one eye witness "We half expected him to start hoying great handful of salt around and shoving folk out of his 'doyo'. That said we're really glad Pedrosa's not here."

It's believed that the Evil Honda Corporation decided to use Akiyoshi due to him being both fat yet likeable and thus would be able to give valuable feedback on the bike from the exact opposite end of the spectrum to Pedrosa.
More importantly, however, is that the move strengthens the rumours that HRC, bored with Dani and annoyed with his wigged manager, are set to ditch Spaniard at the end of the season and go back to having correctly proportioned riders.

Meanwhile, back in donkeyland, Dani Pedrosa's chances of being fit for the opening round in Qatar are said to be on schedule.
"Sadly I think Pedrosa and his aura of misery will be ready to pollute all at the opening race of the season" bemoaned one Lorenzo loving Doctor "He'll still be short and boring though - medical science could never fix that chronic issue."

Gibernau elated to be back in competitive action

Finishing eighth in the BMW M Award at Jerez was a significant achievement for MotoGP comeback star Sete Gibernau and his new team Grupo Francisco Hernando.

Despite major worries about his fitness before the Official MotoGP Test, the trip to southern Spain was a success for veteran rider Sete Gibernau as he plots his return to premier class racing.

A reoccurrence of an old shoulder injury in a private training session earlier this year meant the Spanish star missed the second MotoGP test of 2009 in Qatar and before Jerez he was unsure of how much he would be able to ride at the weekend.

Indeed during the course of Saturday’s six hour free practice Gibernau undertook fewer laps than anyone else and ended the day sixteenth on the timesheet. However, he took heart from his 39 turns of the atmospheric Andalusian venue and on Sunday he used all his experience to up the pace.

Having finished the BMW M Award session in eighth place, just 0.471 behind third placed Loris Capirossi, Gibernau was delighted to have returned to competitive riding. He stated, “I’m really excited and I had a lot of fun. Ducati have been really fantastic with us. We went last week to visit them in Italy and they really worked with us. I am very proud of my team, they are helping me so much and I really think we are doing a great job. We have started from zero and it is hard. Right now we can say that we are progressing hard.”

Extending his thanks beyond Ducati and his own technical team, Gibernau added, “I really want to thank Grupo Francisco Hernando for all their support as well, as they are doing an excellent job and I want to acknowledge the work of Pablo and Gelete Nieto in particular. They are new to this experience and they are overcoming every obstacle they encounter as they build this project into a real MotoGP team from nothing. In the past I was able to put all my energy into riding but now I am doing a lot more than that, but thanks to my experience I feel I am able to deal with all the challenges.”

Asked what he expected for round one, which takes place in less than two weeks at the Losail International Circuit, he replied, “Physically we will struggle, we know that. But, mentally what we achieved in Jerez was great for the whole team. I think once again we are going to have to be very focused on our jobs as a team and myself physically in my preparations for Qatar. We will do our best to take whatever we can from that. To keep enjoying it and working hard is our main goal.”

Elías disappointed at conclusion of preseason testing

Last weekend San Carlo Honda Gresini's returning rider Toni Elias finished ninth in the BMW M Award and he was not happy about his preseason concluding pace.

Toni Elías has a big opportunity this year as he is re-united with Fausto Gresini, who has provided the likeable Spaniard with a factory Honda machine in 2009.

Riding a satellite Ducati last season Elías was a disappointing twelfth in the final standings, but having returned to the Honda Gresini team over the winter he hopes to find consistent form this season.

At the conclusion of last weekend’s Official MotoGP test, however, the 26 year-old was dismayed that he could not finish higher than ninth in the BMW M Award and lagged 1.62s behind pace setter Casey Stoner.

Having been tenth and twelfth respectively in the Saturday Free Practice 1 and Sunday Free Practice 2 sessions, Elías knows there is work to do if he is to run near the front in the season-opening MotoGP race in Qatar on 12th April.

“Well I’m not happy because we were so far behind Stoner,” Elías reflected on the Jerez test. “But anyway, we had the same problems as we had in the Qatar night test. We were working hard to try and find good solutions but we didn’t see any big improvements. I think the most important thing is that we acknowledge the problem and we know the direction we need to go in.”

He continued, “There are still two weeks before the start of the championship and I think away from the track we can work a lot and I hope to be readier for the first race. I think we need to work more with the frame, we need more solutions. I really believe in Honda and I believe in the power of the bike. It is an incredible machine so if we work a little bit harder we can be really good this season.”
