Last weekend the first races of the CEV 2010 were held in Montmeló. We were not there because we are not yet ready to race yet (we will probably not make it to the second race to be held in Albacete).
I watched the races on TV and the truth is that the Moto2 race was fun to watch, with a very fast Jordi Torres, a spectacular Santi Hernandez (the progression of the two Colombian brothers Santi and Yonny is amazing) and 16 different brands of motorcycles on the track. Carmelo Morales had problems with his Suter and it was a shame because it would have been interesting to see him compete against Jordi Torres.
As for our project, we move forward. You can see we’ve added a new sponsor in the left column of our website. It is the manufacturer of K-tech suspension from UK. We wanted to work with K-tech because it is a brand that has a very engineering working philosophy, which resembles a lot the way we work in our projects. Also K-tech is committed to our project, which is reflected in several ways, the main one is the presence of an engineer in our garage in both our private practices and races. For us this is a very important aspect for the development of our bike.
We have already received the fork, which has a sleek look.
The fork is the KTR-3 model, a pressurized front fork, the top of the range of K-tech.
The suspension is technically high-quality, and the level of performance they are getting this season is very good. Some recent examples: The team of Michael Jordan (yes, the former basketball player) which runs in the AMA USA uses K-tech suspension and in early March won the first two AMA Superbike races at Daytona. On April 6. of this year, James Ellison won a British Superbike race using the same type front fork.
