Reprise du message précédent :

 
a mon avis, c'est surtout qu'il vont pas se faire chier a peindre des carénage qui sorte de fabrication, kan il savent pas forcément quels sponsors ils vont mettre et ou exactement

 
C'est ce que je disais pour les Yamaha.
 
Mais ça claque. Un noir mat effet carbone (si ce n'est carbone tout court), c'est terrible.

effet carbone, effet kéké, même combat

 
Putain...Qui l'eut cru?...
 
 
(et oui, la M1 claque aussi en noir)

Et la photo de ce debut d'année:
 

 
   

Par contre, Melandri sera le co-equipier de Abe, mais sous les couleurs de Fortuna, et inversement, Rossi sera le co-equipier de Checa, mais sous les couleurs de Gauloises: resultat, Rossi et Abe auront les memes couleurs!!
 
En effet, quant on lit ça, c'est clair et net:
 
"Both teams will be running Factory Yamaha YZR-M1 motorcycles and will be running under the Altadis-Yamaha sponsorship program. Valentino Rossi will ride in the blue of Altadis' leading international Gauloises brand. Team-mate Checa's Yamaha YZR-M1, on the other hand, will sport the red and silver of Altadis' Fortuna, the market leading tobacco brand in Spain, and strongly developing internationally.  
 
Similarly in the Tech 3 team Marco Melandri will ride in Fortuna colours with Norick Abe in Gauloises.  
 
 The unusual move suits Altadis' marketing strategy with Rossi representing their leading international brand while Checa stays linked to Fortuna for a second year. The Fortuna brand is also present on the Italian market and hence Melandri's 2nd year in Fortuna colours while Norick Abe is important for Gauloises in the Japanese market where the brand was recently re-launched in autumn 2003."
 
C'est tres..."sportif" tout ça, non? Arffff...C'est Yamaha-Altadis qui paie tout ce beau monde, alors...et puis tant qu'Abe a les memes couleurs que Rossi (j'espere qu'il n'y aura pas trop de differences de pieces entre les deux teams).

Rossi under lap record on final day in Sepang
 
 
On the final day of his first factory test with Yamaha at Sepang Valentino Rossi lapped inside his own lap record and edged to within three tenths of a second of his pole position record set at the 2003 Marlboro Malaysian Grand Prix. Rossi?s best time of 2?02.75 was also unofficially the fastest lap of the circuit by any rider on the M1 machine, with Carlos Checa having set a 2?02.885 to qualify second behind the Italian in October. Checa was second quickest again today with a time of 2?03.72 and both riders are now looking forward to returning to the same circuit for their next test in two weeks? time.
 
"We did some good work," said Rossi. "The time we made was good for a first test, but tyres and chassis settings were the main aim here. I've really enjoyed my first three days with Yamaha, I'm very happy. There's still work to do on the engine and we'll carry on with that, but overall things have been good."
 
Checa has used the test to evaluate front tyres and revealed that he was now seriously considering the switch from a 17 inch to a 16.5. "The bike feels better with the 16.5-inch front tyre,? explained the Spaniard.
 
 
"The race endurance test was not so bad, and this was only the first test of the season. Of course we've got more to do but we have all we need to achieve results."
 
Rossi? Crew Chief Jerry Burgess was quietly satisfied with events. "I guess we're doing okay," he said. "We've achieved enough for a fast time and we were running according to the Michelin test programme. Things have been very harmonious in terms of integration with Yamaha and now we'll go away and work on whatever the Yamaha Development Group have got for us."
 
Across the garage, Checa's Crew Chief Antonio Jimenez was also content with the three days work. "The race simulation distance test provided valuable information for us," he said. "We were focussed on that and this is just the beginning of our programme."
 
Gauloises Fortuna Yamaha Team Director Davide Brivio was frank about his surprise at the rapid progress made during the test. "I didn't honestly expect we'd be at his level so soon," he said. "All our competitors will work hard this winter too, but this is a good first test to motivate everyone in the team and everyone from Yamaha.
 
 
"
 
Marco Melandri continued to ride below full fitness as he struggled to overcome the pain of a recent shoulder operation. "Better than yesterday," said the former 250cc World Champion. "In the end the bike was okay but I took time to adjust to the 16.5-inch front tyre I tried today. At the moment my mind is strong but not my body."
 
Norick Abe, meanwhile, couldn't quite make the most of a selection of Michelin tyres that suited his style well. "That was a bit so-so," said the experienced Japanese rider. "We're still not quite there with the settings, but we have not worked together before as a team. Even so I couldn't get the time I felt the tyres were capable of."
 
Valentino Rossi ? 2?02.75 (59 laps)
Calros Checa ? 2?03.72 (88 laps)
Norick Abe - 2?05.05 (52 laps)
Marco Melandri ? 2?05.55 (52 laps)
       
ce type est clairement un extra-terrestre!!!!!    
il est vraiement trop fort....  
 

Faudrait penser à dire au modos de dplacer ce topik ds la cat sport
 
bon demain je vais commencer l'edition du 1er post
 
ps: belles tof 667 en effet... mais ma pref va vers la M1...

C'est vrai qu'il met tout de suite la barre tres haut, et au fur a mesure qu'il decouvrira la moto et que son equipe travaillera, ça ira encore mieux.
 
Reste a savoir ce que donnent les Honda, parce que d'apres les test du tout debut de session, Rossi arrivait 3e derriere 2 Honda. Mais bon, c'est TRES encourageant. Et esperons que ses bons tests seront benefiques a toutes les motos Yamaha, et pas seulement a lui...

 
Quelle M1? ce sont toutes deux des M1 (ce sont juste deux pilotes differents..)

   
la bourde!!!!  

 
j'aimerai connaitre les resultats des Ducat' si il y en a.

j'ai encore rien vu sur les Ducats...  
 

Merci Gordon pour le deplacement
(cordialement)

C abusé le sponsor gauloises...

C'est a dire? tu parles du fait qu'il courre pour un cigaretier, ou alors de la taille du logo sur le carenage? Nan, parce que concernant le carenage, c'est provisoire. L'habillage final sera fait plus tard.

bah oui, il avait toujours refusé...
 
l'argent fait des miracles...

franchement qu'il y ai marqué gauloise, marlborro, total ou repsol sur sa moto j'en ai strictement rien à foutre, et c pas parce que y'a marqué un nom de cigarette sur un carénage que ça vas faire fumer les gens  
 
Ils sont prets à raquer pour avoir marquer leur nom sur le carénage, tant mieu

sinon esperons que le design de la ducati soit a la hauteurs des motos de serie    pke l'an passer.......

Ducati, champion 2004  

 
Ouais...mais non.

edit p1
merci  

Vous ne pensez pas que dans un avenir proche ils seront obligés de revoir la cylindrée des moteurs ?
Ca commence à faire bcp je trouve
Et encore c'est qu'un début...

 
ben non, de tout façon, ils s'autolimite puisque pour le moment ils peuvent pas faire paser plus de chevaux au sol!!  
 
si il voulaient, les moteur sortirait facilement 20 ou 30 cv de plus, mais comme ça servirait a rien, a part faire patiner de trop...
