Öhlins Releases a Semi-Active Suspension Upgrade for the Ducati Multistrada 1200 S – But, What’s Next?

An interesting development on the aftermarket side of things has graced our desks, as Öhlins has released a “suspension control unit” (SCU) that upgrades the electronically adjustable suspension on the Ducati Multistrada 1200 S so that it becomes a semi-active suspension system. Whhhaaaat??! So, if you’re the proud owner of a pre-2013 Ducati Multistrada 1200 S, and you think that your electronically controlled Öhlins suspension is no longer boss, now that Ducati has released...

Villopoto secures third title

After an intense three-rider battle that lasted the entire Main Event, Monster Energy Kawasaki's Ryan Villopoto secured his third consecutive Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, on Saturday night in front of a crowd of 43,149 inside Salt Lake City's Rice-Eccles Stadium. Villopoto needed his 450SX Class-leading ninth win of the season, and the 33rd win of his career, in order to achieve the feat. Rockstar Energy Racing's Jason Anderson broke through to win his first career 250SX Class Main Event on a wild night in the Western Regional Championship. Red Bull KTM's Ryan Dungey was the first rider out of the gate in the 450SX Class Main Event, claiming the Nuclear Cowboyz® Holeshot Award with Villopoto alongside. The champion wasted little time in making a pass on Dungey for the lead and then set a torrid pace over the opening laps to open a two-plus second advantage. Millsaps got alongside Dungey on Lap 2 and made the pass for second, setting his sights on Villopoto. Eventually, Millsaps and Dungey closed the gap on Villopoto following the halfway point with all three riders sitting within a second of one another at one point. Millsaps had an opportunity to make a move for the lead, but Villopoto withstood the pressure and the difficulty of getting through lapped traffic to lead all 20 laps and clinch the title on a high note. "It's unreal," said Villopoto, who tied his career best total of nine wins in a season. "It was a crazy race and the track was really technical. Any little mistake would make it anyone's game. We [Monster Energy Kawasaki] started the season off really rough and had a lot of stepping stones to overcome, but we did it as a team and we did it well." Villopoto became the fifth rider in Monster Energy Supercross history to win three championships, joining Bob Hannah, Jeff Stanton, Jeremy McGrath, and Ricky Carmichael. He also joined Hannah, McGrath, and Carmichael as the only riders to win three titles consecutively. Millsaps overcame a start outside the top five to finish second, with Dungey in third. The pair sits second and third in the championship, respectively, and are separated by three points heading into the final race of the season next weekend. In the Western Regional 250SX Class Championship Main Event, GEICO Honda's Zach Osborne captured the Nuclear CowboyzHoleshot Award with teammate Eli Tomac and Anderson closely behind. Anderson made a quick pass on Tomac prior to the conclusion of the opening lap and then passed Osborne for the lead on the following lap. As Anderson started pulling away, Tomac started to go in the opposite direction. The winningest rider in the Western Regional Championship this season had the opportunity to take over the points lead after Red Bull KTM's Ken Roczen failed to qualify for the Main Event. However, Tomac continued to lose positions, eventually dropping to ninth place. Out front, Anderson won by over five seconds, leading every lap of the Main Event. "It's crazy," exclaimed Anderson. "The last five laps were definitely tough to be out front. To come out with a win, I'm stoked. This team has been there for me from the beginning and to get a win for them is awesome. I always seem to race well here [in Salt Lake City]. I'm not sure what it is, but I like it." Troy Lee Designs/Lucas Oil Honda's Cole Seely charged to a runner-up finish, while Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki's Martin Davalos overcame a start outside the top 10 to finish third. Tomac rebounded from his early difficulties to battle his way to a sixth-place result. "I started the race in second, but just blew it in the whoops," said Tomac. "It was a section that just got me all day. There were a couple passes where I got through them ok, but there were others where I got wild and out of control." "It was a bad night, definitely not what I came here to do," said Roczen, whose crashes in the Heat Race and Last Chance Qualifier prevented him from making the Main Event. "I wanted to finish the season off strong, not with a DNF at the second-to-last race. As much as I had bad luck tonight, I did get a little break with Tomac finishing sixth, so I still have the championship lead going into Las Vegas [season finale] next weekend. I will need to ride the race of my life there." Roczen entered the night with a 20-point advantage over Tomac, but now just five points separates the duo heading into the final stop of the Western Regional 250SX Class Championship. Monster Energy Supercross will bring the 2013 season to a close next weekend from Las Vegas' Sam Boyd Stadium on Saturday, May 4. 450SX Class Results: Salt Lake City 1.

As the track started to dry out, lap times unsurprisingly came down. Ayrton Badovini showed the Ducati Panigale wouldn't be outclassed in mixed conditions early on, but it was once again Tom Sykes on his Kawasaki that took the provisional pole position, ahead of the Aprilias of Sylvain Guintoli and Eugene Laverty.

Catching his foot in the wheel during a crash in FP1, Haslam fractured both his tibia and fibula on his left leg during the off, and has been unfortunately ruled out of the Sunday’s race.

Bou wins first day of Japanese Grand Prix

Reigning champion Toni Bou – Repsol Montesa picked up from where he left off last season by winning the opening day of the 2013 FIM Trial World Championship in convincing fashion. Bou's winning margin on the first of two days of competition at the Japanese Grand Prix was twenty marks over second placed rider Adam Raga – Gas Gas. Riding under the new no-stop rules Bou once again confirmed his sheer supremacy in the slippery conditions that caught out all of the riders during the day. Albert Cabestany – Sherco struggled to match the leading duo, but still managed to snatch the last podium place away from home hero Takahisa Fujinami – Repsol Montesa who eventually ended up in fourth spot. Despite suffering from severe sickness Jeroni Fajardo – Beta battled well to secure fifth position and pushed his team mate James Dabill –Beta into sixth place by a mere there marks as the British rider faded over the closing stages. Tomoyuki Ogawa – Honda was the best-placed 'wild-card' entrant in seventh position, as he finished five marks clear of Michael Brown – Gas Gas. Kenichi Kuroyama – Yamaha and Jack Challoner rounded out the top ten respectively on a day when everyone was adapting to the new rules. Heavy rain late yesterday afternoon forced the local organisers to make several changes to the twelve sections that were plotted on the mainly wooded hillsides, which overlook the tarmac facility. Most of the hazards featured the customary array of carefully placed boulders that became increasingly slippery as the mud dragged onto their smooth surfaces, and this despite the drying effect of the sun overhead. Maintaining forward motion when grip was at a minimum was a real test even for the leading World Pro riders and took its toll on the totals by the time the third lap had been completed. With a total of ten, Bou was five marks clear of Raga after the first lap, and further stretch his advantage with two following single digit lap scores, whilst at the same time even his nearest challengers were watching their own scores rise rather than fall. The unpredictable nature of the conditions was highlighted as Toni was caught out on each of his three tours, his failures being in a different section on each occasion. In truth this did little to dent Bou's confidence as he marched on to his fifty-first GP win. Although the conditions were very different to his native Spain Jorge Casales – Gas Gas used the opportunity of the opening event of the year to confirm himself as a real title contender by winning the Junior class, this being his first victory at this level. He recorded two strong closing laps to beat Pol Tarres – Sherco by seven marks, despite Tarres posting the best lap of the Trial on his final tour. Early class leader Jack Sheppard – Beta slipped back as the day went on, but he still was able to take his place on the last step of the podium four marks back from Tarres. Matching Casales, Italian rider Pietro Petrangeli – Gas Gas also recorded his first ever win, his in the Youth class as he edged out Quentin Carles de Caudemberg – Beta by a single mark in what was a high scoring event for this category. Previously Petrangeli's best result was fourth spot, which he achieved on three separate occasions, and thus he had never been a podium finisher prior to his maiden victory today. Kenny Thomas – Beta made it two French riders on the rostrum as he trailed his compatriot by seven marks after three tough laps for the youngsters. Akira Isogaya – Beta was the highest placed home rider in this division, with him claiming tenth position.

WSBK riders learn new tricks

World Superbike riders are famous all over the world for their spectacular manoeuvres on track, but the challenge some of them had to face today went beyond their knowledge of riding on two wheels.Thursday's WSBK traditional Pre-Event at Assen saw world level bike trial rider Rick Koekoek, who lives in Hoogeveen, 40 km from TT Assen Circuit, holding a Master Class of the discipline to a selection of WSBK riders: Sylvain Guintoli (Aprilia Racing Team), Marco Melandri (BMW Motorrad GoldBet), Tom Sykes (Kawasaki Racing Team) and Leon Haslam (Pata Honda World Superbike) representing the eni FIM Superbike World Championship, Kenan Sofuoglu (Mahi Racing Team India Kawasaki), home riders Michael van der Mark (Pata Honda World Supersport) and wild-card Kevin van Leuven (United Gebben Racing) for the Supersport World Championship and Tony Covena (Nito Racing Kawasaki) for the Superstock 600 European Championship.At the SBK Paddock Show, Rick Koekoek first demonstrated his own outstanding bike trial skills, jumping all over the place - on piles of pallets especially placed for the show and on the stage - onboard his bike and captivating the fans with his amazing stunts.Koekoek then taught the basics to his one-time students. Leon Haslam was undoubtedly the best performer of all riders who attended the event, as he succeeded in each of the increasingly-difficult tasks required by Rick Koekoek.
