World Superbike privateer team of 2009 will not be competing in the 2010 Season.



The Stiggy Honda racing team announced it will not compete in either the World Superbike or Supersport Championships in 2010. The team cited economic difficulties as the reason for its withdrawal.

Named for its owner, former Grand Prix racer Johan Stigefelt, the Stiggy Racing team has been a constant in the World Supersport paddock since 2005. After earning its best overall result in 2008, Stiggy Racing opted to compete in both the World Supersport and Superbike classes in 2009.

Racing for Stiggy Honda, Leon Haslam was the highest placing privateer racer, finishing sixth in the Championship, right between factory Hannspree Ten Kate Honda racers Jonathan Rea and Carlos Checa. During the season, Stiggy Honda also employed American racers John Hopkins and Jake Zemke, and Italian racer Roberto Rolfo. Their combined efforts placed Stiggy fifth overall in the team standings.

Stiggy Racing’s Supersport team had equal success in 2009, finishing fifth overall on the strength of riders Anthony West (seventh) and Gianluca Vizziello (18th).

The team’s success in the two classes came at a price however as competing in the two classes was a financial drain contributing to the decision not to race in 2010. The biggest blow was the loss of the team’s financial partner S2 Racing at the start of …

A First Glance: 2010 Aprilia RSV4R



For the 2010 model year, Italian motorcycle manufacturer Aprilia will be introducing the RSV4R superbike—a more affordable option based on the Aprilia RSV4 Factory. The machine will feature the exact same high-tech powertrain, including the liquid-cooled 999cc V-Four engine, 6-speed cassette-style transmission, and cable-actuated clutch with slipper functionality. This compact engine features Aprilia’s latest generation ride-by-wire engine management system, DOHC, twin fuel injectors per cylinder, 16-valves, and a 14,100 rpm redline.

The RSV4R will, however, utilize different chassis components. Most notably the twin-spar aluminum frame will not offer any form of adjustment, and the Ohlins suspension components will be substituted with a 43mm inverted Showa fork, Sachs gas charged rear shock absorber, and steering damper. The suspension will still offer independent spring preload, compression and rebound damping. Other differences include the construction method of the aluminum wheels, less carbon fiber parts, and a switch from Pirelli to Metzeler tires. The RSV4R will still retain the Factory’s planet-stopping Brembo braking components.




While its claimed dry weight increases by 11 lbs to just over 404 lbs, its MSRP has been cut to… are you ready for this? $15,999! An unbelievable value considering how much R&D and technology is built into the machine. …

Valentino Rossi has become only the second rider in motogp history to reach 100 wins with a measured victory at Assen on Saturday.


The Doctor as he was fondly called, who made his 125cc grand prix debut in 1996, took the chequered flag first for the 100th time by 5.368sec in front of Jorge Lorenzo.

Rossi celebrated his historic victory, and third win of the season, with a one-handed wheelie before meeting his waiting fan club for a special celebration.

Rossi unfurled a huge poster which featured a picture of every single one of his 100 victories, starting with Brno in 1996. At the end of the poster was a huge number 100 and Rossi was then given a flag bearing that number to carry for the remainder of the slow down lap, cheered on by the 96,000 fans.

Rossi’s 100 grand prix wins are divided 74 (500cc/MotoGP), 14 (250cc) and 12 (125cc) and he is now five points clear of Lorenzo in the 2009 world championship.

The only other rider to claim 100 grand prix wins is fellow Italian Giacomo Agostini, a winner of 122 races in all classes. Rossi already holds the all-time record for premier-class race wins.

Having been unable to threaten the factory Yamahas, a disappointed Stoner took his fifth podium of the season by finishing a distant 23 seconds behind Rossi. Although he had not hinted at a physical problem …
