Litar Portimao Tuan Rumah Pusingan Akhir MotoGP 2020

MotoGP mengumumkan Litar Portimao, Portugal menjadi venue pusingan akhir aksi MotoGP musim 2020.

Desas-desus mengenai Portugal menjadi tuan rumah pusingan akhir musim 2020 mula bertiup minggu lalu.

Perkara itu bagaimanapun disahkan sendiri Presiden FIM, Jorge Viegas yang akan menganjurkan perlumbaan tersebut pada 20 hingga 22 November ini.

“Kami dengan bangganya mengumumkan MotoGP akan kembali ke negara saya (Portugal) lapan tahun selepas penganjuran terakhir di Litar Estoril pada Mei 2012.

“Saya mahu berterima kasih kepada Dorna, Autodromo Internacional do Algarve dan Persekutuan Motosikal Portugal kerana berjaya mencapai syarat untuk menjadikan Portugal venue perlumbaan akhir MotoGP musim 2020,” jelasnya.

Ini merupakan kali pertama kejuaraan MotoGP kembali ke Portugal sejak 2012.

Litar Portimao menghadirkan pengalaman unik bagi pelumba tatkala menawarkan permukaan seakan naik dan turun bukit susulan susun atur yang ‘old-school’.

Portimao telah berada dalam senarai simpanan MotoGP sejak 2017 dan telah pun menjadi tuan rumah WorlSBK sejak 2008 sekaligus menjadikan venue ini sesuai untuk perlumbaan MotoGP.

MotoGP: Brad Binder delivers KTM’s first MotoGP victory

If you’ve missed yesterday’s MotoGP round in the Czech Republic, it was one hell of a race as Brad Binder (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) delivers KTM’s first-ever win in MotoGP.

MotoGP: Petronas Yamaha SRT ready to conquer Czech GP

The upcoming MotoGP 2020 round takes place this weekend at Automotodrom Brno for the Czech GP and Petronas Yamaha SRT plans to not only conquer but also extend their lead in the championship as well as team standings thanks to their two riders, Fabio Quartararo and Franco Morbidelli.

With a perfect start to the season so far for Fabio Quartararo, the young Frenchman heads to Czech Republic high in confidence with two victories under his belt (as well as two pole positions). His Yamaha YZR-M1 will definitely be the one to beat, but rest assured that Franco Morbidelli will be there to fight for the win after suffering an engine failure in the last race.

The month of August will probably be the most crucial point of the 2020 MotoGP championship as riders and teams will compete in three back-to-back rounds at Automotodrom Brno and Red Bull Ring – Spielberg. Defending champion, Marc Marquez, will be sitting out this weekend and possibly two more races after going through a second operation on his broken arm.

According to Fabio Quartararo, “Brno is a track that I really like. We know from last year that we can be fast there and that we have the performance, even if it is not the best place for our bike. There are a lot of great corners that make up the circuit but the last corner is one of the best. You have to go in with a lot of corner speed but also prepare to take the perfect line for the straight. It’s great to be going there after taking two wins and we’re looking at fighting for the podium this weekend.”

As for Franco Morbidelli, “My expectations for Brno are high, especially as it’s a circuit that I really like. In fact, I think it’s one of the best on the calendar! It’s a very old-style track as it’s long, wide, technical and fast. Looking at the level that we had in Jerez, we are expecting good things this weekend. I’ve also had some good results there in the past. Of course, this year we’ve got to be better and improve our record there. I think we will have some good battles and I’m looking forward to going there, with the aim of finishing in the top-five.”
