Lewis and Mercedes
If, as is being reported, it is confirmed that Lewis Hamilton has moved from McLaren to Mercedes, it will be a leap of great faith in the German-owned operation, but may be a decision that the British youngster will one day regret. With the exception of Ferrari – which is in any case a very [...]

2012 Aragon MotoGP Sunday Round Up: Bitter Rivalries, Exceptional Bravery, Bitter Rivalries And Nicky Hayden's Bizarre Crash
After two days of miserable weather at Aragon, race day dawned dry, sunny, though still a little cool. Paddock regulars who had spent the last two days scurrying from pits to hospitality to shelter from the rain poured out into the paddock to catch the warmth of the sun which they had just about given up on previously.
The blue skies brought out some great racing, at least in Moto3 and Moto2, as well as some fantastic displays of riding in MotoGP, though the excitement in the premier class was to be found in the battle for the final spot on the podium rather than in the fight for victory. But there were also a few signs of improvement in the near future.
The race of the day was undoubtedly Moto2, which turned into a display of what motorcycle racing is supposed to be. The class is currently blessed with three riders who despise each other enough to do almost anything to win, but with the intelligence to understand the very thin line between hard and dangerous riding. Pol Espargaro, Marc Marquez and Andrea Iannone all swapped places and fairing paint in a good old-fashioned barn burner of a race. The action was fueled by the most intense rivalry in MotoGP at the moment, between three young men all hell-bent on winning.

Honda CBF Stunner PGM Fi
The Honda CBF Stunner may be characterized as a commuter bike, but the engineers of the company succeeded in giving it the requisites of being a sporty bike. So that now, the bike looks and performs like what a super cool sports bike should be all about.
For all of its impressive looks, there is some downside to the CBF Stunner PGM Fi. For one, you might be in for a little disappointment because the bike carries an analog dashboard that comprises of just a fuel gauge at the right dial, a trip meter and a speedometer at the left. Moreover, a mono-suspension, a fuel injection engine, aluminum foot pegs, and an LED tail lamp are all missing.
But if you can let all of that go, you can still enjoy a lot of the positive characteristics that should make this bike a hot item on the market. The tubeless tires at the front - 80/100 - and the rear - 90/100 - is the first of its sort to be fitted into a 125cc bike. Plus, there’s the presence of the five spoke black alloy wheels, which is always an aesthetic positive.
The CBF Stunner also comes with prototype of its category feature in the 125cc portion - a desegrated face cowl, sporty separate seats, a wider tubeless ring at the face, and the lateral for every variants and a sporty measure travel holder.

Contact between Johnson's right rear and Hornish's left front fender triggered the crash and Newman, who was between Hornish and the wall, had nowhere to go.
