Just me bumbling around and searching for Alvaro Bautista goodies again, and I stumble onto something nice… According to the website of Swedish firm Mc-Boden AB, there appears to be a new line in Bati replica helmets; of his 2007 design.I’d only previously traced some down old ones via a Spanish eBay page, but never [...]
Not a great race sadly – Bati didn’t do a great comeback like he did at Estoril – no, it really just didn’t pick up at all at Motegi, with him never really comfortable on the bike and throwing it towards the end to wind up in 15th place. A great shame – but as [...]
Hmmm – not great practice / quali sessions from Bati sadly – he’s starting back in 11th on the grid for tomorrow’s 250cc Japanese Grand Prix at Motegi.Here’s his words (roughly translated by me and Babelfish…!) “It has been a very bad practice, because I fell just after the beginning… that has forced to us [...]

Yahoo / Eurosport refers to “Brilliant Bautista” – saying that his victory today in Portugal was as good as the one that saw him win the 125cc race at the same circuit by 15 seconds a year ago.Today’s race saw the 22-year-old Spaniard carve his way through the field relentlessly to pass Andrea Dovizioso and [...]
After a mediocre start – dropping from 6th to 12 in the first lap, Alvaro carved through the field in a gobsmacking display of genius and guts to take victory at Estoril today, ahead of Andrea Dovizioso and Jorge Lorenzo.Reports, quotes and pics to follow – but for now, Thank You Alvaro for giving us [...]
