2011 moto gp motegi japan/news/history-review engine

After being held a series of races in 1999 ago, Motegi race again held for seven years.
In the last mat-mat Japanese MotoGP at Motegi, Ducati's Casey Stoner dominating including when winning last year. How about this weekend?
From the seventh series in the MotoGP class, dominated by Ducati rider led to four victories (2005, 2006, 2007 and 2010).
Of sectors driver, Loris Capirossi dominated with three victories which he achieved while still defending all Ducati (2005-2007). Each recorded one victory Makoto Tamada (2004), Valentino Rossi (2008), Jorge Lorenzo (2009) and Stoner (2010).
Yamaha rider meanwhile recorded two victories at Motegi in that time ie in 2008 and 2009. Honda has one victory in 2004.
In addition to Dovi who won the Motegi in 2004 in the 125cc class, all the names had been doing in class 250cc/Moto2: Pedrosa (2004), Aoyama (2005 and 2006), Simoncelli (2008), Bautista (2009), Elias (2010).
Dani Pedrosa, Hiroshi Aoyama, Marco Simoncelli, Alvaro Bautista, Andrea Dovizioso and Toni Elias each had also been a winner at Motegi in the last seven years. But they did not in the MotoGP class.
That is, the trajectory of the current MotoGP at least ten drivers who've climbed the highest podium at Motegi entire class. Three of them are now defending the Repsol Honda team, Stoner, Pedrosa and Dovi, which they also fill the middle of the top four standings board.
Given these statistics, it is not impossible that the Honda rider-rider, especially Stoner, who has dominated this season, will be champions at Motegi.
But so, of course Yamaha is manned Lorenzo, the defending champion, and Ben Spies can not be underestimated. The fact that only the Yamaha this season that could rival the pace of the Honda, plus the spirit of Lorenzo to retain the title, could be a major driving force in Motegi.
In addition of course the potential for surprises from Rossi with the Ducati could not be ruled out just like that, although so far the world champion seven times the primary class can not be impressed with the new team that defended this season.
Given that the Japanese MotoGP series is the fourth from the rear, where the outcome this time could be very crucial in the race for the championship, obviously the more tapered and the rivalry became increasingly fierce.
