Saturday Morning Moto News - Bautista, ASBK & California Superbike School in Dubai

Alvaro Bautista will be wearing the products of the REV'IT concern when he takes to the MotoGP circuits. He will be sponsored by them and will wear their protective racing leathers when on the track. It should be a productive relationship.

And, a nice story about the California Superbike School (the European franchise) taking to the track at the Dubai Autodrome. In case you were unaware, Keith Code's school has expanded beyond the state of California and he is teaching students the world over how to corner on a motorcycle.

Arushen Moodley Wins Both Races at Dubai Motorsport Festival

The South African rider, Moodley, took victory in both races on Saturday at the Dubai Autodrome. He now leads the UAE Sportbike Championship, but he knows that there is some real competition in the series and he must continue to work hard to get anywhere close to taking the season crown. His Aprilia teammate, Abdul Aziz Bin Laden, the Kawasaki of Scott Smart and Yamaha's Rod Scott are his real competition for the rest of the series and he needs to stay consistent or end up losing by a narrow margin. It is his to lose now!

Dubai MotorSport Festival Qualifying at the Dubai Autodrome

The UAE Sportbike Championship 1000 Class had South African Champion Arushen Moodley (Aprilia) take pole position from Scott Smart (Kawasaki) for today's race. There was precious little information on the 600 Class, though. But, UAE champion Rod Scott (Yamaha) qualified in fourth for the 1000 Class with Abdul Aziz Binladin (Aprilia) in fourth. In any case, the race itself will be interesting due to the large number of foreign riders in the event...

Dubai MotorSport Festival Coming Soon to Dubai Autodrome

As part of the various automotive and motorcycle racing series, the Dubai Motorsport Festival will take place from 12 - 13 November 2009 at the - you got it - Dubai Autodrome. It will feature several car classes, but the most prominent event for us will be the 2009/2010 UAE Sportbike Championship. There are two classes which will be contested at this event, 1000 and 600. There have even been racers plucked from other nations to come and compete at this event. The really cool part of it, though, has to be the free admission and free paddock access!
