Team BQR (By Queroseno Racing) from Spain has announced that in addition to running Moto 2 and Moto 3 teams in 2012, they’ll also field a Moto GP outfit in the CRT class, using Kawasaki engines.
Ivan Silva (who’s had previous Moto GP wildcard starts and has Spanish and European Formula Xtreme titles to his credit) and Yonny Hernandez (two seasons in Moto 2) will be the riders. Silva is Spanish, Hernandez Columbian.
The team will be called Avintia Racing, after the chief sponsor Avintia Group, a big construction company.
No word on the chassis development yet, except to say in a press release that the project will be “developed entirely in Spain” despite the fact that the official entry lists the British FTR company …

Hayden injured in training accident

Nicky Hayden’s winter vacation was marred on Tuesday, December 27, when he broke his left scapula and fractured two ribs while training near his home in Owensboro, Kentucky.
Nicky Hayden’s winter vacation was marred on Tuesday, December 27, when he broke his left scapula and fractured two ribs while training near his home in Owensboro, Kentucky.
Hayden was training at a private indoor flat track facility, riding a motorcycle for the first time since breaking his scaphoid at the Valencia Grand Prix on November 6. He underwent an X-ray and CAT scan on the same day he was injured, and he has since undergone an MRI. At the moment, there are no plans for surgery, but Hayden will have the scapula reassessed next week by Dr. Arthur Ting in Fremont, California, to see how his fracture is progressing. According to the healing process, the next few weeks will determine whether Hayden will take part in the first winter test session of 2012, which will begin on January 31 in Sepang, Malaysia.
"Obviously, injuries are never good," Hayden said, "but it’s part of motorcycle racing. Just like at Valencia, it was kind of a freak accident. I was starting to train again, like I normally do during the winter, at a private track near my house. I came up behind another rider, and he went to move out of the way. I wasn’t going that fast, but he clipped my front wheel and I went down and landed pretty hard on my left shoulder, and that was it. It’s disappointing, but there’s nothing to do about it but heal quickly. Anyway, this doesn’t change my expectations for 2012 which, fortunately, is just around the corner."

MOTOGP: Suzuki Quits
By petemaster5000 on November 21, 2011 6:02 PM
Suzuki will suspend their MotoGP operations while promising to make an attempt at returning as early as 2014.
Suzuki Motor Corporation has decided to suspend temporarily its participation in FIM Road Racing Grand Prix MotoGP from 2012.
This suspension is to cope with tough circumstances mainly caused by the prolonged recession in developed countries, a historical appreciation of Japanese Yen and repeated natural disasters.
Having an eye to returning to MotoGP in 2014, Suzuki will now focus on developing a competitive new racing machine for that class.
Suzuki will continue motocross racing activity and support of road racing activities using mass-produced motorcycles, by obtaining FIM homologation and co-operation with the supplier of its development racing kit parts.
