Rispoli Switching to the R6

Looks bad ass! Hopefully he'll put it on the box!

 

5th in first practice then went slower in FP2 and finished 9th. So obviously made some changes that didn't work.

 

Storming HARD at Brands tonight, according to an onsite friend...not sure if we'll see the intent of the R6 if the wet weather persists.

 

First I was like.....







but then I was like....

 

Yep. Livengood built Westby's motors. I'd put them against any R6, Graves or not.

 

I still have my autographed AMA program from a race at Fontana that had a photo of Livengood in it

 

Didn't watch races 1 or 2, but he finished 8th and 13th resp....about on par with where he was on the GSXR. Maybe he'll take some time to adapt to the R6?

 

At one point he threw the bike down the road, so I'm sure that didn't help. He was pretty quick out of the gate with it so hopefully they can continue to improve.

It's like watching a pack of hornets going around a gokart track. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KO626CPJlk&list=UUt_yQ2pbZ4Rk5vU7yLmiNcw

 

if he already is equal to his GSXR, i would say that he can only get better on the r6.

 

Hit false neutral and ran off track in race.

 

Seems to be working out alright!

Team Traction Control

Who would have thought young Rispoli from sunny Florida, who'd only raced once in the wet before this season would be so damn fast in the rain!
Yeah, sucks to crash out whilst battling for the lead, sucks for the team and all the hardwork gone into the weekend, but lets take the positives!
We leave Cadwell having picked up an 8th in race one, our best grid start position of the season for race two, then tearing it up at the front of the race, setting the fastest lap along the way.
I consider that progress, its a hard arse championship with some brilliant riders, so to be getting further up the field each weekend is testament to the hardwork ALL the team are putting in.
Over & Out

 

He got a lot of props from seasoned GP journos on Twitter during the race.
Not surprised he's fast in the wet, he's a born and raised flat tracker.
