Hey guys, Jon here again. Here is Valentino Rossi beginning his MotoGP testing for 2012 at the Sepang racetrack in Malaysia. Check it out.
"I'm happy because first impressions are important, and already in the first few laps, I could tell that I like the bike. Ducati did a good job in just a short time. The bike is beautiful, but more importantly, it's nice to ride.”The riding position has improved a lot, and it's better on braking and corner entry. I can brake like I want to and take the lines that I like, and I feel comfortable in general. I was able to ride well and not make mistakes, and there's a reason for that. It means that the bike can be ridden. It's more agile in change of direction, and it wheelies much less.”

Hi guys, BMW design chief David Robb has left the company after a disagreement with a colleague. BMW sources confirmed today that the man credited with transforming the firm had gone.
BMW design has gone from staid and uninspiring to world-beating since Robb took the helm back in 1993.
Under him, BMW has produced such bold and innovative models as the S1000RR, K1200R and F800S, as well the R1200GS, the firm's biggest ever seller. Before Robb the range consisted almost exclusively of similar-looking tourers and all-rounders with a self-imposed 100bhp limit.
A BMW source said Robb left following a disagreement with another designer. There are suggestions he cleared his desk on the day of the disagreement. He is being replaced by Edgar Heinrich, another long time BMW designer.
