Chris Vermeulen Making Solid Progress During Almeria Testing

Vermeulen has been at the Spanish Almeria circuit doing some testing with his Kawasaki World Superbike team for the past two days. The testing went very well for the Australian and he has seen some solid improvements. Even the team is working very well together. If only the 2010 season could come sooner for him!

MV Agusta Spotted Testing - Could Be 675 Triple 'F3'

The new motorcycle race concept of taking a 450 motocross-type motorcycle and converting it into a road race bike (often referred to as Formula 450) has been catching on everywhere of late. I still remember the first article I read about it some four years ago - I had expected it to start up sooner, but the economy probably helped to delay it a bit. Still, overall, running such a team is rather inexpensive when compared to even a Supersport series, so it should bring in plenty of privateers. In this article, some Aprilia Superteen competitors, Ian Newton and Jeremy McWilliams attended a Dunlop tire test at the Spanish Almeria Circuit to see how hard these machines will be on tires - hint: they're not at all...

Hodgson and Linfoot to Test Yamaha YZF-R1 at Almeria Next Month
