Qualifying session entirely focused on tomorrow race for Valentin Debise: the French rider and his team have tried different tires looking for the best one: in fact, tires are really important for the holes on track surface that was really slippery today. Valentin improved his time and leads 1.4 seconds from the pole, although he closed with the 31st time.

VALENTIN DEBISE - 31st position (1'47.931 - 20 laps):
- "I'm happy this afternoon I was able to lower two tenth to my yesterday time. We tried some tires to see what might be the best for tomorrow race. I'm in 31st place but just 1.4 seconds from the pole. Was a pity that I failed to improve more but the plan for tomorrow is to start and make a good race."

For Valentin Debise a good qualifying session that leave great hopes for tomorrow race. Valentin and his team worked a lot and were focused all the day on the setting of the ADV bike, finding some better solutions: in this way, the French rider run with constant times and he was able to close the session in 28th position.

VALENTIN DEBISE - 28th position (2'05.650 - 17 laps):
- "This morning we well worked and the times were really constant. I was improving lap by lap. During the qualifying was the same: we well used our pneumatics and I'm quite happy. Anyway, we need to work again for tomorrow race."

The session of Valentin Debise was focused on the adaptation of the rider and his bike ADV at this difficult track. In fact, the team doesn’t have any landmarks about this circuit and the Moto2 and the only way was to try and test all the possible and then choose the best solution. The young rider close this session in 35th position. VALENTIN DEBISE – 35th position (2’07.229 – 23 laps):
- “After Mugello, this circuit is the most difficult of the entire World Championship. Today was really hard catching the better paths and for this reason I lost a lot of time. We also tried different set up and was not easy but I think it’s normal: we don’t have any landmark here, because it’s the first time we run here with a Moto2 and we need to find the good way. We need a steady bike because there are some wide turns, but we need also a fast bike for the quick change of directions. We will work hardly to find the right solution.”

A very nice recovery for Valentin Debise in Moto2: with the track completely dry, the French made a good start, he managed to avoid getting involved in a chain crash of some riders and at the first lap, he was able to earn ten positions. Then hired a good fight with Luthi and West, with which dated back positions, to stop only a step from points: he concluded with his best result, 16th, 27 seconds from the first. A very good result that in one side welcomes the mood of rider and team, but in the other leaves a bit bitter for the lost opportunity to earn one point in the world ranking.

VALENTIN DEBISE - 16th position:
- "As soon as I got off my bike I immediately checked the status of my tires and I noticed some holes in the tread, really strange! Anyway, I think I did a good job! I'm happy, this is my best result, I finished 27 second from the first and this had never happened. We worked hardly yesterday, till late night, but we found some good solutions that we have awarded."

Moto2 qualifications for Valentin Debise left with 15 minutes of delay caused by the suspension of MotoGP round by red flag, for an oil leak from Lorenzo’s bike. In comparison this morning, Valentin keeps a good pace, with an improvement of quite 6 tenths from his morning time, but only at the last lap he seems to be able to pull out a good lap time, capable of earning him several positions: unfortunately, at the penultimate corner stood a slower rider on its trajectory, and everything is lost and he close in 36th position on the grid.

VALENTIN DEBISE – 36th position (1’27.171 – 21 laps):
- “We changed some settings on the bike and the start was not so bad, even if I was no longer able to improve myself. With new tires I was better but I wasn’t able to finish a good lap, for one reason or another. I absolutely have to improve.”

After a difficult start, Valentin Debise avoided a collision in the first corner that involved six or seven riders. From this point Valentin road with determination, taking advantage of the ADV’s performance and pushing past several riders to move from the last row of the grid to his best finish of the season in 20th position. While still out of the points it was a good effort and shows the potential of the ADV and the rider to be in a scoring position. The lap times showed progress in the race by Valentin Debise as he gains more experience.

A Ride through penalty was the main cause of the results from the Assen TT. Valentin was given a false start penalty for moving the bike before the red light turned off. A very painful mistake as Valentin had qualified on the grid in 24th place. (Actual starting place was 23rd because Debon had crashed in the qualifying session.) It was hoped that with this starting position would allow for a better placement for the race, but despite this on the first lap the line was crossed in 28th place, then down to 31st on the second. The ride through penalty placed Valentin at the very last place. During the race retirements, and Valentins ability to overtake some riders allowed a final placement of 30th position. It can be said again that inexperience, for not holding the brake lever on the start line is the cause for this latest issue. It is important to remember that in order to receive the ride thru penalty, it is only enough to jump from the start position, even if you do not cross the line the photocell detects the movement and the penalty is then automatic. Barcelona will be next weekend for the seventh round of the MotoGP World Champion at the splendid Catalunya circuit just a few miles at north of Barcelona.

This last week end was race at Silverstone, which for the first time entertain the MotoGP and of course the Moto2. In the Moto2 there was a new winner, Cluzel. The Moto2 class has now had more different winners than any other racing category of the season. Only Elias has won twice and each new race a new player emerges. Clearly, this makes for an interesting class of racing, where the talent of the riders is paramount. Valentin Debise placed 26th, despite starting last, he recovered a number of positions with the performance of the bike helping to make gains: the motorcycle has in fact turned up at the end with the speed of the best, always around 272 K/h (169 mph) without any problem. There is always regret if you start later in the field, as it is difficult to move up through so many riders to score points. We still believe that just finishing in his apprenticeship, Valentin will be able to make gains, especially considering that he has means available to perform better than most of the grid. The important thing is that the rider should focus on his performance not giving too much consideration to excuses related to the machine, minor issues with equipment occur, such simple items as failure of the shift indicator light to change in the race. As Riders learn the feel and sound of the motorcycle they begin to know when to shift without indicators to remind them ...
Now the second race at the TT Assen in Holland which will then lead to the GP in Barcelona, Spain.

On June 11th, ADV took to the track for a private test at Mugello to examine new parts that will be introduced on the Moto2 World Championship Bike. Mugello was very warm with 55° at the asphalt of the track, but still it is a best Circuit of the World and if the parts are fine here it is sure they will translate well elsewhere. Test riding was Brannetti Alessandro, a great professional, although it had been six months since he had piloted a GP bike and testing was done in the midst of many private practices, the times achieved placed him in the midst of the top teams. This good result is with the new exhaust by MIVV. This was combined with the excellent settings for the new forks made by Andreani (it looks like the pieces missing from Mugello are now in place!), The speeds confirm that the CX coefficient detected in Wind Tunnel (only .24) has been proved well on the track. More confirmation of the work done in Wind Tunnel is that water temperature was always below the 85° (78° even at the beginning) and this is important for the engine health. Certainly a positive test result with the arrival of summer heat.

The Moto2 ADV ended the week by performing well at Mugello. The maximum speeds (without any wake) have improved after adjustments to the front airbox duck of the bike, the best improvements seen by a cover under the forks and improvements with the exhaust. The speed is in line with the best at 274 Km/h (170mph) measured before the S.Donato without any wake. No adjustments were needed at the fairing because the tests in Tunnel Wind had already shown a very low drag coefficient. The race ended with Valentin Debise once again finishing. 23° at the end as regards starting position of 37°, he showed substantial gains, but starting so far back made it difficult to be in a points finishing position. To improve this it may be better if he begins to take advantage of following the smaller groups that normally form during qualifying, instead of breaking from the wake. Valentin is still learning this new type of motorcycle. This will take some time, if not an entire season, for him to gain the experience and apply the valuable lessons from racing and the advice given from the team.

Positive reinforcement came from the opportunity of testing in the Marconi Wind Tunnel at Rome. ADV wanted to confirm the Coefficient of Drag, for the Moto2 motorcycle currently campaigned under the colors of the WTR San Marino team. The team did not expect to find any large issues, but took the opportunity to look for areas of adjustment that could be made. The technicians were able to confirm the Computer data of the design against the Wind Tunnel. After good results competing against the Wind in the tunnel, the team will now focus its efforts on the next round of the World Wide Moto2 Championship at Mugello. The team rider Valentin Debise continues is work in competition while continuing to give feedback for development of the new chassis. We will soon discuss the results of Mugello.

The first free practice are just now finished on the track of Losail in Qatar and Debise he resulted 25° at the end of the session. Valentin made 23 passages with the best in 2:05,557 to the 2,318" to the best crono of Alex De Angelis. Valentin began its training in the Losail to adapt quickly to the obscurity that surrounds the lighting fabulous of the circuit and at the same track that, while being large, it offers very little reference positions to the riders, especially if they never runs on this track. The motorbike helps Debise considerably because it doesn't denounce the classic problems of the new born GP motorbike. And the engagement to learn the track Valentin doesn't miss. Tomorrow other Free Practice at 19,10 (EU time) and the official tests to the 00,10 of the 60 minutes.

Some days after the end of the first IRTA test in Valencia, as we already anticipated, we are this time on the circuit Andalusian of Jerez de la Frontera.
On this Spanish track, rain done to welcomed us destroyed another weekend of test .

The first day of Saturday has been marked by a strong rain, what made impossible to go back in track until 14th, when fortunately, we had a little of truce.
Once again, Valentin to given the best of his self: Valentin 6° with a crono of 1 :57,925 has less than 2 seconds of the first De Angelis.

During the day of Sunday rain disturbed the teams and the motorcycle to the point to retire all hours nearly..
The conditions of track constantly humid, don't have helped our rider, that to fact his best time only the morning, and his never improves.
Debise finished 18° with a time of 1:46,821 to one second and eight of the Elias pole position.
However this day put the "End" word in advance in the second IRTA test. Again one time the WTR San Marino Team and these riders decided not to risk again under water and to finish their work here, while considering useless others test in these conditions.
Next and last IRTA tests always in Jerez de la Frontera, Spain the 27, 28 and 29 March, 2010.

Valentin Debise:
"Jerez it is a circuit very different from Valencia and we should have modified the setting of the motorbike because it was all new for us. In Valencia there were the tight corner only, whereas here has very large only: so really all different!
Now, I think that we can be ready for the next test, always here in Jerez."

The AT02 is a new motorcycle characterised by a new chassis and a new inverted swing arm. The link was re-designed too; in fact, the AT02-2.0 is equipped with a single link with adjustable rod. This is a real jewel of technology with more than 15 parts made with Rapid Prototyping in collaboration with CRP Technology, company leader in state-of-the-art technologies that supported ADV with their know-how. Excellent team work that has led to a great motorcycle with relevant agility features maybe more suitable to the perfomance of Honda CBR600RR self-limited engine at 16.000 rpm.

The Motorcycle developed and realized by ADV Advanced Technology and given to WTR San Marino Team for the racing calendar 2010 of Moto2.
The last 19th February the motorcycle of ADV Advanced Technology was launched officially in San Marino, the land of the team WTR S. Marino that will race Moto2.
At the ceremony there were the Republic Representative for Tourism and Sport, Mr Fabio Berardi that confirmed the partnership with the Republic of San Marino, the WTR S. Marino Team and Roberto Cevolini of ADV Advanced Technology.
The AT02-2.0 was developed and realized in the facility of ADV and the young Valentin Debise will be the rider that will race the category of Moto2 at the World Championship.

It will be Valentin Debise the new WTR S.Marino rider.
The young old 17 years, 21° this year in 250, he will pilot therefore the ADV AT02-1.0 in the new class Moto2 of the MotoGP.
Probably in February the debut of Valentin on the new ADV AT02-1.0, meteo allowing, in Spain.

Brannetti to Valencia.
Crono: 1'39"4


Very productive, in technical terms of data collection, the first start that AT02-1.0 had to Valencia this week on the days 9 and 10 December 2009 of the new Moto2 of the ADV, the AT02. More than 500 Kms Alex Brannetti, test rider of ADV, has crossed, in two days, and this has allowed the technicians to individualize various small changes that will allow a rapids growth this Moto2 been surely born under a good star. The improvements will mainly concern the ergonomic position of the rider and the new fairing. Good the feeling with the engine derived by the Honda CBR 600 RR with the introduction, in the second day, of the Power Torque Cluch and Power Shift. Some problem still with the suspensions but however the ADV Technicians have shown all of their potentiality. Good Alex that has developed his job with the passion and ability that characterize him. ADV now returns to the job in the your work shop, waiting for to return in test, always to Valencia, to end of January with the objective, this time, to also stamp crono of everything respect.

The CRP Racing riders woke up in the rain this morning and had to wait till 11 am to start practicing with rain tyres.

Later the weather got better and a shiny sun appeared.

Therefore the track dried out and Davide and Ale started to get confidence with their new machines lap after lap.

Many set-ups were made both for carburation and suspensions.

The lap times are: 1’38”.5 for Davide and 1’44”.0 for Alessandro with a dirty track that didn’t allow to improve any further and considering that the riders didn’t jump on a bike for several months.

Many data for the CRP Racing staff; precious material to be used for further settings when back in the work shop in Modena.

Yesterday evening first day on track in Albacete, Spain for the riders Stirpe Davide and Torlaschi Alessandro on the brand new CRP Racing’s bikes. Two 25 minutes sessions and a 20 min one for both riders.

For Alessandro it has been a first approach to a new bike and an occasion for him to realize how the work in a professional team is. Lots of settings for a fast drive on track are needed but the potentialities of this young rider are very high and this will take a little time.

Davide, besides running many fast laps with the reed valve bike (125 RSL), has done a first shakedown with the 125 RSD bike that has immediately demonstrated its competitivity, and hasn’t given any mechanical or elctronical problem, considering it’s a brand new bike in all its components.

Perfectly balanced, Davide has found it even more manageable ad agile than the other declaring moreover “in acceleration and when it reaches its peak power it’s a beast!”

Tomorrow morning a spring sun should accompany the team in a new day of tests

28th February and 1st March at Albacete, 2nd and 3rd March at Cartagena. This is a very busy week for CRP Racing that is involved in testing the bikes.

As it is not possible to run in Italy due to weather conditions as well as circuit law restrictions regarding young people that are not allowed to race if they are under 18 years old, CRP Racing decided to move to Spain to test the evolutions of the Honda bike.

This first check on track is particularly important for the racers that can start running after a long winter break, the time is coming and they are ready to race fast as they can with the new bike.

Unfortunately Amicucci is not going to Spain due to school exams, but he will do his first tests in Monza for the Italian Road Racing Championship.

ADV is getting ready for 2009 season

ADV completely manages the three riders for the incoming season 2009 on the most important circuits and for the Championships that are able to capture the attention of the audience who loves sports but in particular motorcycling that means flying on track with 125cc two-stroke engine prototypes.

A very young rider the 16 year-old Davide Stirpe who got in 2008 the 4th position at Italian Road Racing championship is expected to be the role player of the team, Roberto Cevolini has great expectations for him. The Swiss rider Tiziano Amicucci who has been managed by ADV since 2008, he will face not only the Honda Trophy but also the Italian championship (CIV 2009).

Then the 21 year-old boy from Pavia who has a great passion for this sport: Alessandro Torlaschi. All the three riders will race both championships and CRP Racing will bring them on track.

With these excellent team the agreement is going on thanks to successful results they have obtained

The Honda on the highest position of the podium with Riccardo Moretti on the Monza track, the temple of speed.
The CIV 2008, which is taking place in Monza one week before the Superbike World Championship, in the 125cc GP class has seen the triumph of the ADV-CRP Racing Honda RS 125GP in front of the Aprilias of Savadori (RCGM) and Ravaioli (Team Semprucci).
Excellent 6th place for Luca Marconi, Riccardo’s team companion, which consolidates the superb job done by the Team with Honda HRC’s support. Now Riccardo is in second position in Championship and Luca in 6th. If Roberto Cevolini (ADV), as he declared in a former interview, wanted a confirmation in wanting firmly an Honda, he had it. The Trophy won for the First Place Constructor will leave soon for Japan, to HRC, which believed in our development capacities. Pole position, track record, first place and fastest lap is a poker that fulfills us of joy.

A pre-season test yesterday in Adria has opened the dances.
Finally it was possible to test on track all the new solutions developed during the winter in the CRP Racing's Work shop in Modena. Overtaken the winter "rust", the CRP Racing's Rider has run for more than 60 laps with the CIV bike and, in the evening, 30 laps with the Honda Trophy one. Problems "none". Everything has gone as scheduled and we are ready for the next appointment in Monza next saturday for the official CIV tests.

The first picture of what could be the styling of the CRP Racing bike that Moretti will ride in the CIV (Italian Championship) 2007.
Concerning the Honda Trophy, nothing is still defined, but the main sponsor (CRP Technology) will for sure have the required visibility.
In a few days (11th March 2007) we will see it on the Monza track for the first CIV tests and here we will see if the colours will be confirmed or not. What is well known is that since some time at the CRP Racing's Dyno a new configuration with lots of chances is already being tested.
Press Office ADV Racing-Monaco

The new company CRP Racing has born and is ready for the 2007 season.

The new CRP Racing facility is besed in Modena, close to its founder company, C.R.P. Technology, which works since several years for the high performance racing market such as F1, WRC, Le Mans Series, Parigi Dakar etc. and whose engineers are working also on Moto GP projects.

Till today, C.R.P. Technology had always entered as a support to a motorcycle or Car brand.

From now onwards, it decided to create its own structure and start to race in the Italian Championship, CIV 2007 125cc class, with bikes derived from RS125 Hondas but modified in the electronics, special materials, coatings and new parts made from the Rapid Prototyping technology.

For the 2007 CIV season, CRP Racing has engaged a young rider that did quite well in the past but, due to an accident occurred to him this year, he wasn't able to reach the final podium, finishing in fith position in the CIV 2006.

Riccardo Moretti, 21 years old from Lugo di Romagna has therefore signed for next year for CRP Racing and will bring on track the next evolutions of the Team from Modena for what concerns 125cc prototypes.

Last Sunday, the 29th of October, the Road Race World Championship has finished.
Of course the most evident result has been the loss of the championship for Valentino Rossi due to a slide in the first laps of the race, thus won by Nicky Hayden. This to confirm that nothing is written till the finish in this fantastic sport. Concerning ADV, this championship has been the first year as a riders and investitors' agency. Arnaud Vincent didn't attend the last two races but has been wothily substituted by Alessandro Brannetti (# 65) that will be able to demonstrate his value in future with a little of training. The final 20th place, that could have been closer to the top of at least two positions, is a good result.
ADV Racing Team has also raced its bike developed in collaboration with CRP Technology with the Wild Card Chaz Davies (# 57) finishing in 21st position. Chaz has declared that a lack in training on this kind of bike has influenced his performance, and he could have finished 15th or 16th without any problems. This means that the bike, with its brand new electronics and other improvements studied by CRP Technology, has excellent potentialities for the future.

Alessandro Brannetti's race in Estoril lasted only few laps. He comes home with a sudden problem at the clutch. This problem has forced the rider to retire.
Next and last race of the 2006 Championship in Valencia, Spain, at the end of October.

Our second rider, who is replacing Arnaud in the Estoril race, hasn't done bad. The lack of training in 250 of "Branna" (in Italy he rides a Honda 600) was almost not existing and we remind that the 250 is one of the most hard bikes to be set up, even more than a MotoGp 4 stroke. Some technical problems, not immediately found out by the team, if solved in time could have allowed Alex to make some more laps. Tomorrow from the 7th row it will be a little difficult. Come on Branna!

Unfortunately Arnaud won't be able to race the last two appointments of the World Championship due to a problem at his shoulder.
He will be substituted by the rider Alessandro Brannetti, already a wild card in Mugello for ADV under the brand Grillini Team.
Alessandro will therefore have the possibility to demonstrate his value.
The bike is an Honda Kit that could emphasize our second rider's potentialities.

The Honda developed for G. Ferro from ADV Racing that has raced in Imola this morning for the Grillini Racing Team, has finished 4th after the 3 Aprilia of the RCGM Team. Ours has been the only Honda able to battle with the Aprilias, very fast on this circuit. Now ADV will start to study and work on future projects that will have for us a particular importance: a new electronics will be tested that, both in 125 and 250, should mean an increase in power. Soon we will post where our tests will be done and everybody is invited. Continue to follow the news on this web site that will keep you informed of all our activities.

Also in Japan the problems with the electronics that forced Arnaud to retire in race in Australia after only 3 laps don't seem to be solved. Here the cut of power has been present for all the sessions including the warm up. Starting this race would have been dangerous for a probable cut of power that could have determined a crash with other riders. That's why Arnaud preferred not to race. Now the bikes will go home and we will see if the technicians can solve the problem.

Gabriele Ferro will start in the first row tomorrow in Imola for the last race of the Italian Championship. The bike has been developed and arranged by ADV's technicians for the Grillini Racing Team and has been the only Honda able to battle with the Aprilias of the RCGM Team finishing between Sancioni and Verdini (2005 champion). Baroni is first, typical of who has already raced in this category for the World Championship.

Unfortunately also in this morning's qualifying practice, in Japan, Arnaud hasn't done better than the 30th place, 5 seconds slower than Lorenzo: 1'56",111. With this grid the only hope is to repeat the Malesian effort where, starting from the last position, he finished 11th! The problems that came out in Australia, besides being electric ones, probably concern also other sectors such as mechanics, set up etc. We hope that at the return from these hard extra-european races the Team Molenaar will be able to give to Arnaud a competitive bike in order to achieve some points in the classification.

The electric problems on Arnaud's Honda Kit don't seem to decrease.
All today's session has took part with the same problems seen in Australia. Unfortunately the time for the Team Molenaar to solve them is very short, because of the transfers between the continents each week! Today they have changed almost everything and we hope they have found and solved the problem. We'll see tomorrow if the "virus" has left alone Vincent's bike.

Unfortunately, an electric problem on Arnaud's Honda showed up during the third lap of the Australian race. His motorcycle suddenly made no more sound and deprive Arnaud of obtaining a surely interesting result. In fact, he made a very good start as he passed 8 riders and found himself in 12th position. A real pity. Let's hope that in Motegi, Japan, where will be the next race, we will have more luck!

Arnaud often overtakes several positions with his fast starts even though the weather is cold such as the track's temperature thus increasing the lap times.
As usual Lorenzo continues his series of good races starting from the pole.
Tomoroow morning the race will be for sure very interesting.

Great Arnaud! Although forced by the misfortune to start from the last position, Arnaud has shown his strength finishing in 11th position. 5 points that give a good value to these extra-european races. Come on Arnaud!

Arnaud Vincent in action in Malaysia.

Unfortunately the Sepang torrential rain didn't allow the Motogp and 250cc class riders to race the second qualifying session, thus penalizing Arnaud with the last position. In fact, during the first qualifying session, after only 3 laps, a mechanical problem stopped the rider and finished with a lap time over the 107%. That's why Arnaud will start from the last position. Arnaud likes this track and we will see if he will be able to make a good race. Alè Arnaud.

Arnaud has found back rythm and physic health. His physic, suffering in the last three races because of his crash in Mugello, has completely recovered and he immediately demonstrated it. Two precious points that give a breathe to Arnaud's mind looking forward to the extra-European races.
Alè Arnaud.

Edm Racing Srl based in Monghidoro (BO) 40063 - 29, VIA IDICE tel: - fax: 051 6551326 is a Leader company in CNC machining and in particular in elettroerosion machines.

A very interesting technology for the Formula1 and MotoGP world.

Edm Racing has invested in the image of Arnaud Vincent, who is followed by ADV Agency in Montecarlo, in order to underline that quality and service are activities that only few can offer. If you look for the best performance, you need a company with a great experience in the sector.

MotoGP is an evident example.

In the pic the 2005 CRP frame



A great result for Arnaud Vincent in 2005 in Brno.

With a laboratory bike, in full development, which CRP had prepared in only few months and that was running with the Scuderia Fantic Motor GP colours, Arnaud arrived at the finish in 18th position in front of 5 Aprilia.

CRP now has its own Racing dept. with all the equipment necessary to satisfy the needs of any team which wants to test and eventually evolve its bikes. Flow test benches, dynamic, static and combined test benches, a completely new data logger with programmable CDI directly from Formula 1 experience, professionalism of the staff, achieved through years of experience in MotoGP, make this dept. a guarantee of success for all those who want to ride on track or for the Team Managers that want to test the High Performance level of its machines that will have to battle with the factory Teams.

ADV and the Grillini Racing Team together with Chaz Davies have tested, in the Mugello circuit, new technical solutions developed by the racing dept.
The weather was extremely hot and didn't help the rider with the bike's set up, but the results achieved have been very good. Chaz has been pleased by the potentialities of our Honda Standard, well modified in order to have some extra HPs! The two test sessions, one in the morning and one in the evening, have confirmed the increase of power seen on the dyno and have allowed the young talent to have more confidence with the Honda 250.
"We have slightly improved the already excellent set up of the chassis, in order to adapt it to my height, while the solutions tested on the engine have confirmed the excellent potentialities of this bike." these the words of the young promise at the end of the day. He also adds: "A great thank to ADV that has given me these two opportunities (Donington and test ndr.) and to the Grillini's Staff on the track".
An excellent result for the racing dept. of ADV!

At 11,17 of today Arnaud's race finishes with a sad retirement of our rider because of the impossibility to continue a battle with some bikes that should be inferior to his but that evidently they are not. Now there will be a month of stop. We hope it will be useful! Arnaud's moral is not at the top and our's too!

Also today the bike didn't give its best and the engine continues, in Arnaud's opinion, not to develop all the power it should have. The 6th row (24th time in qualifying) is extremely penalizing in this circuit made of ups and downs which requires great engine. We will see if tomorrow Arnaud will be able to overtake with his skill these technical difficulties.

Arnaud jumps back on his bike and completes both the free and qualifying practices. He has completely recovered, although the bike still has to be set up by the Molenaar Team. Arnaud should need more power in the engine in order to give his best. We hope that during the the rest of the weekend we can find what is still missing.

Arnaud Vincent, after a series of medical controls, has recovered his energies and will take part at the weekend race in Germany.
"I'm very impatient, and I want to jump back on my Honda and demonstrate to everybody my capacities. I've suffered so much not riding ,It's my world, but now I'm ready to start again"; with these words Arnaud announces his excellent state and thanks his fans for the affection demonstrated in these 3 weeks.

At her 4th race on a 125GP, Phaedra Theffo has finished in 20th position in the Magione circuit. The riders at the start were 30 and the race of the French girl of Pesaro has been conditioned by a bad start that brought her in the last position. Lap after lap she gained 6 positions. The gap from the first would have been smaller with a better training; Phaedra wasn't riding since 2 months, and the practice time was very short. The next race, fortunately, will take place within 1 month, in Rijeka, the 13th of August, in the Alpe Adria Cup and always with the honda 125GP.

Chaz Davies will be the rider that will substitute Arnaud Vincent on the Honda of the Team Molenaar for the Donington GP next weekend.
The fast English rider has accepted the ADV's offer of taking part at his home race with the Honda kit set up by the chief technician Hans Spaan. ADV also thanks the friend Lucio Cecchinello that helped us with the contact. The bike will be adapted to the rider's stature that worried us a little.
But the technical staff assured us that it will make the little Honda fitting perfectly to him.

Unfortunately Arnaud Vincent won't take part at the Assen race because of the Mugello crash. Already in Barcelona he finished the race almost fainting due to the hard pain to the chest (4 broken ribs). Arnaud thought he would be fine for Assen but at the first practice he realized there was something wrong. He strongly tried despite the hard pain. After some medical treatment he tried again but he had to give up, without making the second qualifying practice. Surely he won't be at Donington and he will be riding back at Sachsenring. Cross fingers Arnaud!

Arnaud Vincent has made a great effort and, even if he had an acute pain due to the crash in Mugello (3 broken ribs), he wanted to finish one of his most suffered races. He could have retired because the pain at his breast that tormented him during the whole weekend became unbearable. But our strong rider shown us what a champion is made of. He reached the 16th position, but he lost the point gone to Perren only for the untolerable pain. Now we hope that he will recover the efforts made in this race within the few days before the Assen GP, in order to confirm his talent on the Dutch track, the home GP for the Molenaar Team.

ADV had the pleasure to have as its guests in Mugello nothing less than Gabriele Tredozi, Technical Director of Minardi F1 team, now Scuderia Toro Rosso, and Carlo Fangaresi, young businessman in the sector of the casual and dynamics fashion. The engineer Tredozi, since a long time deeply involved in Motorsport, didn’t loose the opportunity to have a look, as last year in the world of the two wheels, in order to spend a different day together with the ADV and CRP staff.
Carlo Fangaresi, owner of the griffe Enthomology, accepted immediately the invitation and, being an amateur of the motorcycle world, was interested to every single movement in the boxes and in the paddock and has been able to get in touch with a world unknown to him ‘till now.
Both enthusiastic ones have already made request for an invitation for next year…!

ADV lined up at the Mugello race, besides Arnaud Vincent, also the Wild Card Alessandro Brannetti who was immediately able to qualify for the race.
Not bad for a rider that comes back to the MotoGP after five years.... Unfortunately Arnaud Vincent didn't finish the first lap because of a crash, hurting at his side; at the moment we don't have the results of the analysis.
At the first lap Lorenzo was in the first position with Dovizioso, De Angelis, Alex Debon, Roberto Locatelli and Marco Simoncelli following him.
In the meantime Aoyama and Smrz are out of the race.
At the 13th lap Takahashi pushes with the fastest lap but this is not enough; at the16th lap something happens to Simoncelli's Gilera and starts to lose positions. Also Locatelli finishes his tyres and loses positions while Takahashi loses his rear mudguard risking to hit who is following.
Unfortunately Alex Brannetti, an excellent race after five years of absence, has to retire because of a cramp at his hand. At the end Lorenzo wins in front of the excellent De Angelis.

15th at the end of the Le Mans GP in France, scoring a precious point important for the classification. Arnaud has won a mini-battle with Tizon overtaking also a plenty of difficulties that have occurred during the whole weekend.The wind got lower and there was a shy sun that warmed the race.
The French TV has dedicated lots of space to our rider who could in this way thank the sponsors that support him.
Mugello GP will be the next race, the 4th of june.

Arnaud has demonstrated his value this morning reaching the 6th place in the free practice, leaving behind him several official bikes.
A good willing looking to the Home GP.

The first qualifying session has taken place under a bizarre weather that hasn't helped the riders. Rain, sun and rain again in Le Mans.
Then a technical problem has forced Arnaud at the box before time and so everything will be decided tomorrow.
We hope the home GP will give back the smile to our rider.

Misfortune for Arnaud in China.
Unfortunately a piece that usually gives no problems has broken at the first lap forcing Arnaud to retire.
We wish the misfortune will leave alone our rider and from the next GP will give back what has taken us away today.
Next appointment at Le Mans in France since next friday for the first free practice sessions.

A good result for Arnaud Vincent in China.
Once again his Honda is forth in front of a factory bike and tomorrow....Fireworks!!!.

A new appointment with the quarter of litre, this weekend. The riders of the 250cc World Championship are in the Shangai circuit for the Polini Grand Prix of China where Arnaud Vincent will try to do well after the fall in Istanbul. Last year Arnaud didn't participate to the China race, therefore for him it's a circuit all to be discovered. During the first free practice this morning our rider was 12th under a strong rain and in the first qualifying session is 13th with West in evidence in the col of Shangai.

Unfortunately Arnaud Vincent couldn't finish the race for a fall that forced him to retire after 9 laps while he was in 12th position.
Probably the tyre had a decadence that made the motorbike difficult to ride in the corner.
It's a pity because all the weekend had been good for Arnaud. In any case it seems we are in tune for a good race in China.

Arnaud Vincent confirms that he is always dangerous in the rain classifying himself third behind West and De Angelis. The lap times remain therefore the yesterday ones and Arnaud will start in the third row having scored the 11th time. We wish the weather tomorrow will be clement but if not we are ready too.
Come on Arnaud.

Arnaud has immediately demonstrated to his Team's technicians that their job done at the test bench in Holland was excellent and that now the engine is giving its best, stopping the chronometer at 1'59"952, at just 2,111 seconds from the provvisional pole of Jorge Lorenzo. This is also the 4th absolute time of the Hondas, and the three ahead are factory bikes.
Good job.
Alè Arnaud, on marche!

Continuous improvements for the French rider living in Pesaro, Italy.

The weather was finally hot this weekend on the Santamonica Circuit in Misano Adriatico, where the first race of the Honda RS 125 gp Trophy has took place. Among the 39 subscibers (36 qualified for the race) Phaedra Theffo has finished 23rd. After a good start, she has done a hard race, overtaking some of her competitors, and improving her Saturday time of more than one second. It was her third race, and she conquered the public thanks to the determination with which she faced the race; don't forget that Lulù (her affectionate nickname) was the only female rider at the start. The Honda was the one of the famous tecnician Roberto Bava, that followed her at the race together with Jessica, one of the only female "mechanics" in the international motorcycle circus, coming from Spain. To be underlined that the motorcycle has been always one of the fastest in the race, thanks to the perfect job done by the team during the weekend.
The next race will take place the 9th of July in Magione (Umbria) - Honda Trophy 125GP.

Phaedra Theffo: "It has been a nice race, I'm quite satisfied and I have also enjoyed myself. I have been able to start weel (finally!!) but during the first lap I exaggerated and made some mistakes; this allowed some of my competitors to overtake me. After I concentrated myself and I started to to overtake some riders. After half race I was alone, improving my Saturday time of more than one second. There is still much work to do, many km to cover before I can say to go fast. I am still learning and the important thing is, by now, to improve each race.
I want to dedicate this race to Roberto Bava and Jessica, all this has been possible thanks to their support and the excellent job done during the weekend."

The promising rider Phaedra Theffo has joined the ADV team.
ADV, always paying attention to the young promises of the road racing motorcycle championships, has engaged the good rider that has demonstrated in the European 125 of Vallelunga to have the right stuff.
During the weekend she was able to qualify even if injuried in one hand after a crash at 200 km/h during the first quialifying session. Also thanks to the friend Roberto Bava that has supplied his Honda 125 to Phaedra, allowing her to have a surely competitive motorcycle for this race.

Arnaud Vincent has finished 16th today in Qatar. The not so high speeds probably demonstrate that the problem of the loss of power hasn't been solved.
Now there is some time to try to solve the problem that has caught Arnaud after the first day.

Arnaud Vincent will, start from the 5th row of the Qatar GP. Yesterday he achieved a better position (13th) but a sudden loss of power has unabled our rider to keep the position. Other riders have improved their time, therefore Arnaud will start the race a little bit behind. Arnaud however has get used to show us incredible overtakings.

During the first GP of the season Arnaud Vincent has scored 6 points for the final 250cc MotoGP classification, ending at the 10th place. Excellent result considering that Vincent’s Honda Kit is the 4th and 1st among “private” Honda bikes.
The great job done together with all Arie Molenaar team has paid back all the sponsors that trust in ADV Agency.

Jerez, 10th March 2006


The last 2006 Irta Test for the quarter of litre have took place in Jerez.
The tests have begun the 8th of March at 12 o'clock when the fog on the circuit left the place to a spring sun that let us hope for a good day.
The track, a very tecnical one, has immediately remarked the frame problems of our Honda RS250 that was studied and developed for the last year's rider, very high and slim if compared to ours.
After a first day of detailed analisys, on the second one, begun under a foggy sky, the job was improved and this brought Arnaud to improve his lap time of 2,5 seconds. Therefore the direction is certainly the right one and this makes us hope for the first race that will take place on the Jerez circuit on the end of the month.
All the team has enjoyed the job done by Arnaud and the ADV Racing's staff.
Let's meet on the end of the month for a race that won't miss to excite all Arnaud's fans.

During the Official MotoGP tests in Montmelò, on the 1st and 2nd March 2006, Arnaud Vincent has begun the development of the set-up of the Team Molenaar's Honda RS 250 kit to give his best in the next MotoGP World Championship.
The very spiteful work made by Arnaud, which has involved all the technical staff of the team, has shown his great ability in focusing on the problems giving his precious help to solve them in the better way.
Because of his focus on the development there hasn't been an important lap time, preferring to work completely on the motorbike.
The next week, on the circuit of Jerez, the second part of these IRTA Tests that have the goal to prepare the next season that seems to be, as usual, simply "enthusiastically".

Arnaud Vincent faces the coming season with the intention of a fresh start, coming off the back of a difficult 2005. He joins the Arie Molenaar team hoping for good results in his latest assault on the 250cc category.
The Frenchman is one of a large group of riders undertaking tests in Valencia this week, fine tuning both his style and bike ahead of next week’s Official Catalunya Test. Vincent spoke with motogp.com at yesterday’s first session in Cheste, where he gave an exclusive interview about his preseason.
“Now we are working on the finer points of the bike, work that will put us in the best condition possible for the start of the season” commented the former 125cc World Champion.
“Obviously last year was very complicated for me, and I hope to have a better season. We are going to prepare ourselves as best as we can in Barcelona and Jerez”

CRP, with its department dedicated at the construction of 2-stroke road prototypes, has begun to develop the R250, the motorcycle that has run in the past season in the 250cc world championship. The new Brembo braking systems have already arrived at the work shop in Modena, via Cesare della Chiesa. The new ultra light Marchesini rims are arriving soon.
Some interesting solutions are studied for the suspensions, while a new data acquisition, expressly studied for CRP, will be soon tested.
Within the end of April the new 125 & 250ccengines are expected to be running on the test stand.
Everybody is in a ferment, also thanks to the Rapid Prototyping dept. that each day collaborates with the Group Engineers in order to make operative their ideas in a while.

Some teams, among these also Team Molenaar, will take part at a session of private tests in Valencia, Spain, on the 23rd and 24th of February. Arnaud Vincent will have therefore the possibility to begin to take familiarity with his new team and the Honda RS 250 that has been placed at his disposal. All the team is ready for the debut of what is announced to be an extremely interesting season..
