Take a Peek Inside the Rizla Suzuki MotoGP Garage
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The #19 Rizla Suzuki GSV-R MotoGP machine of '06 125CC World Champion Alvaro Bautista sits outside the team's shed at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway during the Red Bull Indianapolis MotoGP round in August of 2010. Former team mate Loris Capirossi has left the team and the Rizla team will be scaling back operations for the 2011 MotoGP season, leaving Bautista as the lone rider on the team. Dorna, the rights owners for the MotoGP brand, is said to be helping the squad out in terms of financials, in order for them to be able to continue racing in the high dollar, high spec MotoGP World Championship Series.

One motorcycle website that I have been finding to be very up-to-date and refreshing is the Ultimate Motorcycling.com site. I just came acrossed some of their stuff initially back in early spring, and have since found it a daily stop in the 'what to do, and what to check' list of regular and daily visits In my quests to gather any and all information related to the areas of motorcycle racing that I am familiar and confortable with, I've made it one of my 'must see' stops of late, even during the dreaded 'off time' in racing which occurs around this time of year where you search and surf for anything and everything to get you that fix to get you through until-in my case-the Dakar Rally kicks off on January 1.
The great guys at UM.com had this nice little video posted today that takes a quick look inside the Rizla Suzuki MotoGP garages during a typical race weekend. You can see from the amount of traffic and people involved (if for no other reason) why MotoGP is as high dollar as it is. Check it out here:
