I have been several months without publishing any post in the blog, I have been very busy, although this time I think I have a good justification for it.
Like you know, after a lot of rumours, finally during last December Dorna unveiled the basic rules for the new moto2 category. These changes are creating a lot of controversy, although it seems that a good part of the opinions are beeing positive because it seems that moto2 regains a little bit the spirit of some decades ago: mechanical variety, teams building their own prototypes, even for sure that we will see some “underground inventions”. Hopefully it will be a tough category, with exciting and funny races.
Since I heard about this category I had clear that I wanted to build a Moto2 motorbike. It seems that even during current season (2009) Moto2 bike will race in the CEV (Spanish Championship). Some teams have been working on it since a lot of months ago, and they have their prototypes ready to start training. I started working on it in December (once I knew the rules), of course I couldn’t start such a big project without knowing the rules, mainly because for the time being this is a personal project that I’m going to carry out in my free time, with the help of some friends.
However this time the project is more solid than in previous times because I count with the colaborationn of the Kawasaki Palmeto team (a top Spanish team owned by Pedro Parajua and Jose Luis Lazaro. This team races in Supersport and Formula Extreme in the CEV). I have been working in this team as telemetric during 2008 and I will continue with them in 2009. Counting with the experience and means of such a big team will make the workload lighter.
My objective is to have a bike ready to ride during this year, and I want to share with this blog readers the project development.
