The MotoGP world champion Casey Stoner, said in the presentation of the Repsol team waiting for a year with much equality, which is the main rival Yamaha. "This year is balanced. We have a weak point and, if managed, can lead us in the future. Now there is no difference between them."

Torres, who won in memory of his brother

Some few days ago, as every year, Jordi Torres had to curse a date marked in your memory too. On October 8 chases the Torres family since 2006. That day, Reuben, George's younger brother, died after suffering an accident in Barcelona. He disputed a Supersport race in the Championship of Spain and Ruben, soon after the start, fell to the ground, being hit by several rivals inadvertently. The most serious injuries in the chest and head ended his life. In that race his brother George, unaware of the tragedy, came to play the third set. As he floated with the bike through the curves of Montmelo, his brother breathed his last in the General Hospital of Barcelona.

Today, Jordi his brother gave him a heartfelt title. Torres, Moto2 champion, crossed the finish line under the pan of the line and stopped Suter Jerez at the end of the line. He unfolded his usual number 18 and turned it into a makeshift 9 Ruben looked like that when competing in the fairing. George looked at the sky, overcast, and raised his arms pointing to 'small' wherever they were. The best gift of his life to the dearest person in his life.

"I want to thank the whole team, my family and the people who supported me. This to me is a dream come true, "he noted later, just down from the podium. Jordi, who this season played some races in Moto2 with Mapfre Aspar team, won their dream European Championship took no such illusion- be champion of Spain with Team Laglisse Jaime Fernández-Avilés. It's back to his teammate, Carmelo Morales, who last year won the crown in the same category.

The rain was no match for Torres. It was his day. And the water could not drown their illusions. There was no need to mark close to Morales. It was worth almost complete. The dream was very close. For him, his brother, his father, a broken chin that first got on a bike, pocket bike with a six. I did not know or ride a bike and the first curve left chin. Yesterday was able to close all its scars.

And it is serious doubt for those who had planned at Jerez next week Alzamora's team. "You can not be ruled out, but Marc is doubt," Emilio told this newspaper, which, however, relies on a speedy recovery.

Marquez is constantly being evaluated by Dr. Jordi Crease, an eminent neuro who works in the Catalan Institute of Retina. He is optimistic about its evolution and on Thursday submitted to pilot test a new prism glasses that correct the double vision to determine improvement of eye injury. "Between 1 and 15 brands already in the Grade 2, which is important because it has improved a lot," Alzamora said.

There is no treatment other than tranquility. "Marc is very positive and very lively," Mir said after talks with him. Especially since the front is almost perfect vision and diplopia shall-not be estimated how long. According to Dr. Crease there will be no consequences or require intervention.

Recto sees almost 100%
Alzamora is not worried. The signals from both the physicians caring for Marquez as the evolution of the pilot invite you to be optimistic. "The recovery is slower than expected but has a vision of almost 100% when looking straight ahead. When you look to the left still has something, but has improved greatly in recent days and all you have to have is patience" says Alzamora, which relies on the full recovery in the coming weeks.

One came back after the fall of the mathematical world champion, Germany's Stefan Bradl (Kalex), who lost grip in the rear wheel of his bike and jumped literally in the air without the possibility to continue, nor a turn after the Japanese Yuki Takahashi (Moriwaki), marching leader.

Olympus enters Terol

Nico Terol to glory. Long in coming but it was so warm, despite the cold and tried raindrops cloud his day. At home, to his countrymen, Nico became the pinnacle of motorcycling . It was not privileged to that sport gave a run on rails. He was patient and finally got the reward. Along the way, exhausting work. The title was waiting, there was no hurry. It may have arrived in Sepang, but it was the day marked. The anesthetized nerves. Valencia had to wait. ''A''all or nothing, had announced Nico, something quieter even though the conditions were a trap for him.

This time there were no nerves, just patience. And reached the crown. The number 36 for Spain in this sport that Angel Nieto opened four decades ago. Terol deserved it, could not fail. But uneasiness hung in the air. At one stage, the Ricardo Tormo, being empty, the nerves that played it had nothing to lose. Johan Zarco, persevering, something extravagant and aggressive in their maneuvers to frenzy in many of the races, had flag regularity. But in the final attack failed.

It was early. The Frenchman went down in the third round. He walked in the fifth position, seeking to fulfill their aspirations comeback victories. Behind, is fajaba Terol more against your head against rivals. It was worth between 11 º to enter first. But there was a gap, which sought to avoid any unexpected touch. And he rode quietly despite slippery asphalt. Suddenly, when Zarco crawled across the floor, the heavens opened. And the resurrection. Aspar in the garage began to congratulate himself, in a burst of release.

Cholesterol and could play. And win. Detached from the tension, the leader went to the former. Viñales Faubel and commanded the test. But the beat with ease, feeling champion and practicing it. It was on lap 14. But the final victory is very greedy. And Faubel and put her face Viñales. Especially the young Mack, who at 16 years is causing a sensation. Maverick strong shot to score his fourth win, and came to hook the two wards of Aspar.

But not much care Terol. His prize was another, much larger than victory. The title was waiting, with the checkered flag. And the deafening fireworks.

Stoner, Bradl and Cortese lead the free day in heavy rain Cheste

Australian Casey Stoner (Honda RC 212 V) and German Stefan Bradl (Kalex) and Sandro Cortese (Aprilia) topped the rankings in their respective categories in the first and fateful day of free practice for the Grand Prix of Valencia, last scoring round the world motorcycle championship. The conditions in the circuit "Ricardo Tormo" in the Valencian town of Cheste were not favorable for the practice of motorcycling and if in the morning were tough is further complicated by the afternoon, after a Persistent rain left the track completely flooded for the second session of free practice. In all classes were worth the time of the morning, where he could shoot a little faster, but still far, far away, from the records of each cylinder, although a number of relevant data. Awarded and world title MotoGP Grand Prix from Australia, where his birthday was imposed Casey Stoner, the only interest in the premier class focused on the performance of all the drivers behind the Italian Marco Simoncelli death of the race in Malaysia and in particular, his friend Valentino Rossi (Ducati Desmosedici).

The track conditions were not favorable, but in a circuit that despite the bitter swill of 2006, when he lost the world title here against American Nicky Hayden, then and now Honda rider in Ducati colleague, not uncomfortable, Rossi signed the third place just three tenths of a second of Stoner's best time. It is clear that when what counts is the pilot and not the performance of the bike, Valentino Rossi is placed at the level of all its rivals and this time, only Stoner and Dani Pedrosa will overcome and, in the afternoon, they all had to succumb to the urge Á Álvaro Bautista and his Suzuki GSV RR, which eventually set the pace, though much slower than in the morning. Germany's Stefan Bradl (Kalex) seems to have completely cleared the way in the absence of Marquez, who is in Chester, but their physical conditions are not the most appropriate for the practice of motorcycling, so unless a "miracle" as everyone on his team qualify, you can not fight until the last race for the title. The German driver took it calmly at all times to avoid mistakes and after just ten laps in morning practice, waiting for an improvement that came half, ended up being the fastest of Moto2, where Spanish was the best Julian Simon (Suter), who though serious, returned to competition in the last race of the season and wanting to farewell. Simon did not continue in the team of Jorge Martínez "Aspar" , it shows in the environment and makes the relationship is tense, but for the pilot Villacañas most important thing is to recover as soon as a state of physical fitness at this moment is far from ideal to take most of your bike. The Frenchman Johann Zarco (Derbi) is eager to fight until the last second for the win and the world title in the 125 cc and while today was passed by the German Sandro Cortese (Aprilia), marked the differences, too clear about Nicolas Terol (Aprilia). The championship leader took this still much more calm and although he was tenth, his time was over two seconds and a half of Zarco. It rain and the track conditions were not the most appropriate for risk on the bike, but Terol have to cut for time differences, at least, be controlled at all times to its rival. Adrian Martin (Aprilia) third , was the best Spanish, ahead of Efrén Vázquez (Derbi) and Maverick Viñales (Aprilia) in the eighth.

Terol it plays "to the last letter" and Bradl has everything for the absence of Marquez

The Spanish Nicolas Terol played the 125cc world title "to the last letter" this weekend at the Grand Prix of Valencia motorcycling, where Germany's Stefan Bradl has Moto2 almost in the pocket for the almost certain floor of his only rival, Spanish rider Marc Marquez.

Cheste circuit will be the scene of a dispute between two of the three world titles at stake in this campaign and Terol and Bradl are pilots with more options of winning them.

Spanish has gotten no less than eight victories so far this season and if it ruled in its first objective to achieve mathematically in Malaysia, where he had only to finish ahead of his arch rival, the Frenchman Johann Zarco-something he has done nine times this season, the twenty-point lead that accumulates should be sufficient.

Moreover, if the advantage was short, the factor "field" should play in their favor as the circuit "Ricardo Tormo" Cheste is the outline of his birth as a driver and where he has forged much of his professional basis the pilot Alcoy (Alicante), although there has never won.

Cholesterol has the second place achieved in 2008 as his best result , followed by tenth place in 2009 and third in 2010.

Two out of three podiums in the last three seasons, but never from the top step, and that is a situation you want to change the Alicante this season, to finish as best as possible their first world title.

Opposite him is a grown Johann Zarco , who arrives with the verve and strength which gave him third place achieved in the Sepang circuit in Malaysia and to prevent his rival held the world title, so re-search in Valencia surprise, although this time must wipe the twenty points of their opponents to think about the championship.

A Zarco only true victory, as the second place, assuming that Terol not score, he would level on points in the championship, but the eight victories against the Spanish gained by it only in Japan, would give the title Aprilia rider.

In any case, Johann Zarco, not only needs to win, but must await the outcome of Terol, who would have to cross the finish line from twelfth place to see his rival crowned world champion.

Pedrosa: "It will be a very special race for all"
