Saturday Morning Moto News - Bolivia Grand Prix & New Zealand Superbike

Yep, we are in Bolivia for this one. The BMW F800GS has won its first race - the Grand Prix XXVII National Automobile and Motorcycle competition held in the South American nation. The winner of the motorcycle event was Juan Carlos "Chavo" Salvatierra who took his F800GS to the top of the boards rather handily. Most of the other riders were on Honda or Yamaha motorcycles. It was a long ride, but most of it was on asphalt; though, I doubt that made it any easier considering the condition of roads there...

In the first round of the 2010 New Zealand Superbike Championship the weather has been the winner so far. In the 600SP class, Nick Cole took his Kawasaki ZX-6R to pole position after only 6 total qualifying laps. In Superbike, the weather really played havoc as the times were way down. Even with the weather, they managed to qualify for the main and Andrew Stroud took the pole. Aussie Robbie Bugden could not even get into the top 5. Let's all hope the weather is much better on Sunday!
