Pedrosa grew up in a village near Sabadell called Castellar del Vallès. He is the youngest world champion in 250cc Grands Prix. Dani Pedrosa started riding bikes at the early age of four, when he got his first motorcycle, an Italjet 50, which had side-wheels. His first racing bike was a minibike replica of Kawasaki, which he got at the age of six and which he used to race with his friends. Pedrosa experienced real racing at the age of 9, when he entered the Spanish Minibike Championship and ended his debut season in second place, scoring his first podium finish in the second race of the season. The next year, Pedrosa entered the same championship, but health problems prevented him from improving his results and he ended that season in 3rd position.<br /><br />Pedrosa continued to race with Honda in 2007 on their Honda RC212V, the new 800 cc bike. The machine had problems, and Pedrosa was taken out of races by Olivier Jacque and by Randy de Puniet, but he finished the season in second place behind Stoner and ahead of Rossi. He signed a 2-year contract with Repsol Honda for 2008 and 2009. In 2008 Pedrosa's problems with the RC212V continued when he was injured in the pre-season and missed developmental testing, but started the season well by scoring a podium at the first round. While leading the race and the standings in the German round, he crashed and was injured, keeping him from racing in the following two rounds. Michelin's performance in MotoGP deteriorated, resulting in Pedrosa switching to Bridgestone at the Indianapolis round. He finished third in the standings in 2008.<br /><br />As in 2008, Pedrosa crashed in the 2009 pre-season and injured himself, keeping him from testing the machine before the start of the season. He placed 11th in the first round, but recovered his fitness in the following rounds. At the fifth round he injured himself again in practice and then fell during the race, putting him 33 points behind the leader. For 2010, Pedrosa reverted to number 26—a number he used when he first entered MotoGP—from number 2 in 2008 and number 3 in 2009. He took this decision to please his fans who had asked him to return to the number he had always used. Pedrosa won four races in 2010 and finished second in the championship standings behind Jorge Lorenzo.<a href="http://totalsporttrends.blogspot.com/2011/05/dani-pedrosa-racing-moto-gp-sport.html">|source|</a><br /><br /></div>

MARCO MELANDRI

<div class="post-header"> </div> <div class="post-body entry-content"> <a href="http://www.xpdboots.com/repository/images/pbook_photos/big/melandri_ducatipreview08_big.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.xpdboots.com/repository/images/pbook_photos/big/melandri_ducatipreview08_big.jpg" style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 343px; height: 366px;" /></a> <span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Marco Melandri </span>(born August 7, 1982 in Ravenna, Italy) is a MotoGP road racer currently racing for Honda Gresini. Melandri is also a former 250cc World Champion in 2002. Melandri currently lives 2 miles away from the famous race track, Donington Park, Leicestershire, England. He was introduced to racing by a former rider Loris Reggiani at the age of six. He came through the ranks from minibikes, motocross and then the Italian and European 125cc championship. In 1997, Melandri won the Italian 125cc championship, also finishing 4th in European 125cc championship. In addition to his European success, he made his debut in 125cc world championship at Brno, Czech Republic as a wild card rider. After impressing in Italian and European championship in 1997, Melandri finally got his chance to compete in 1998 125cc world championship as a regular. He rode Honda 125cc bike under Benetton Honda Team. He went on to impress many as he earned his first podium in the fourth race of the season, where he finished second in his home Grand Prix at Mugello, Italy.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.motorcyclenews.com/upload/221216/images/marco-melandri.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.motorcyclenews.com/upload/221216/images/marco-melandri.jpg" style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 341px; height: 213px;" /></a> His brilliant debut season continued when he won his first grand prix at Assen TT, Netherlands. He won this race at the age of 15 years and 324 days which made him the youngest ever Grand Prix winner, at the time. Since then, Scott Redding has become the youngest winner, having won the 2008 British motorcycle Grand Prix. Overall, he won two Grand Prix in his debut season and therefore he finished the season at 3rd position in overall standings behind champion Kazuto Sakata and runner-up Tomomi Manako. He remained on the same bike and team in 1999, where he bid to win the 125cc world championship. He went on to win 5 Grand Prix but failed to win the championship, finishing second behind Emilio Alzamora with just a single point difference. Failure in securing his first world championship did not stop his rise to 250cc world championship in 2000. Melandri was signed by Aprilia in 2000 to replace another Italian Valentino Rossi who left the team and 250cc class for 500cc class. He was highly expected to take over Rossi's shoes and to win the 250cc world championship. However, his debut season did not start as well as the expectation. He struggled to adapt to bigger bike and higher competition. He failed to win any Grand Prix in 2000, managing only 4 podiums, all came late in the season. Despite these problems, he still finishes the season at 5th position overall.<br /><br /><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/bachtiarnur/SDoeHkTMXGI/AAAAAAAAA8g/bnr1CWrnOuc/s800/Marco%20Melandri%20Motomondiale%20Bite.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/bachtiarnur/SDoeHkTMXGI/AAAAAAAAA8g/bnr1CWrnOuc/s800/Marco%20Melandri%20Motomondiale%20Bite.jpg" style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 342px; height: 451px;" /></a> In 2001, his performances were improving. He managed to win his first 250cc Grand Prix at Sachsenring, Germany. However, it was his only win in 2001. Despite managing to appear on the podium on 9 occasions, he never really challenged for the championship. He finished the season in 3rd position behind champion Daijiro Kato and runner-up Tetsuya Harada. 2002 proved to be Melandri's chance to shine. With 2001 champion and runner-up, Kato and Harada moved to MotoGP class, he became the strongest contender for the championship. He dominated the season by collecting 9 wins and 3 additional podiums. After challenging for world championship for years, he finally won the 250cc world title. He became the youngest 250cc world champion at the age of 20 years and 74 days until Dani Pedrosa broke his record in 2004. After securing the 250cc world title in 2002, Melandri moved up to MotoGP class to spearhead Yamaha factory team alongside Carlos Checa in 2003. The Yamaha was less competitive than Honda and Ducati, and he struggled to succeed for the season. He finished the season in fifteenth position without collecting any wins and only two third places. He joined Yamaha satellite team, Tech 3 in 2004 alongside Norick Abe. This season, he again struggled to get top results. Although he managed to collect two consecutive podiums, a series of crashes and retirements kept him out of the top 10 in overall standings. He finished the season in twelfth position.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.motorsport.co.uk/images/riders/riders_56.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.motorsport.co.uk/images/riders/riders_56.jpg" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 341px; height: 446px;" /></a>Released from his Yamaha contract after the 2004 season, Melandri was the surprise choice of boss Fausto Gresini to join Sete Gibernau in the Movistar Honda team for the 2005 MotoGP campaign. Melandri was remarkably successful with Movistar Honda in 2005, with a consistent run of podium finishes early in the season, ultimately taking his first two wins in the final two races of 2005 to clinch second place in the championship. In doing so, he was the first Honda rider to win back-to-back races for nearly two years, winning the final two rounds of the MotoGP Championship at Istanbul, Turkey, and in Valencia. Although he never really challenged his best friend Valentino Rossi for the title, he finished the season strongly as runner-up, with a total of two wins and five other podiums. Melandri rode for Gresini's Fortuna Honda team alongside Toni Elías in the 2006 season. With Rossi struggling to find consistency, he was a major challenger, along with Ducati's Loris Capirossi and Honda riders Nicky Hayden and Dani Pedrosa. He again won at Istanbul, despite starting from fourteenth on the grid. He managed further wins at Le Mans, France and Phillip Island, Australia. He finished the season in fourth position, just one point behind Capirossi. In 2007, Melandri and Elias remained in the Honda Gresini team, now sponsored by Hannspree. Honda's 800cc machine was not competitive. Melandri finished on the podium at Laguna Seca and Le Mans – at this point he and works rider Dani Pedrosa were the only Honda riders with multiple podiums. He ultimately finished fifth overall, second only to Pedrosa among the Honda riders.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/profile/pic.php?oid=AQA6n9r6xyeOWNXe8Xu8KQDiJ4iheihhgGj8cuRcdEmO--D8UyYYrsS4bjGkaxh4-Bs&size=normal&usedef=1"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.facebook.com/profile/pic.php?oid=AQA6n9r6xyeOWNXe8Xu8KQDiJ4iheihhgGj8cuRcdEmO--D8UyYYrsS4bjGkaxh4-Bs&size=normal&usedef=1" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 340px; height: 508px;" /></a> Immediately after Melandri's 3rd place finish in the 2007 USA's MotoGP round, Ducati announced that he would join its factory team alongside Casey Stoner for 2008 and 2009. But 2008 proved disastrous, with a run of uncompetitive runs often leaving him behind the semi-works Alice Team bikes of Toni Elías and Sylvain Guintoli. At Assen he qualified last and ran there throughout. A rumoured mid-season move to Kawasaki did not occur, however Melandri announced that he would be joining Kawasaki Racing Team for the 2009 MotoGP season to ride alongside his new team-mate John Hopkins on 19 August. He then ended the season in a lacklustre 17th position. Kawasaki pulled its factory involvement for 2009, leading to fears that Melandri would not have a ride, however a rescue package was agreed to allow Melandri to run the bike for a one-bike semi-works Hayate Racing team, despite his concerns over the bike's poor rear traction. In 2009 Melandri achieved his first podium since 2007 with his 2nd place finish at the wet French motorcycle Grand Prix. His only other top six finishes were in the first three races, as the team tailed off bike development and Melandri finished tenth overall. At Brno he battled Mika Kallio for sixth before a penultimate-lap collision between the two. For 2010 Melandri returns to Gresini Honda, with a factory-spec RC212V bike from the start. Full factory support had sometimes been promised but not provided during his first Gresini spell. The team made set-up errors in its initial testing.<br />Melandri will move into the Superbike World Championship from 2011 with the Yamaha Sterilgarda World Superbike Team. He will replace Cal Crutchlow, who is moving to the Tech 3 team in MotoGP.<a href="http://www.goalindo.blogspot.com/"><br /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a href="http://www.goalindo.blogspot.com/"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://www.autoracingdaily.com/images/featured/marco_melandri_motogp-resized-1.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 427px; height: 284px;" /></a><a href="http://www.goalindo.blogspot.com/">Marco Melandri performance at race</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.goalindo.blogspot.com/"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS3cDBfqir5XXCbQjFEEu3QUuZ_-0xYaMaZhagv8ePLzyLBzBBM&t=1" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 430px; height: 268px;" /></a><a href="http://www.goalindo.blogspot.com/">Marco Melandri cute pose with his costume</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.goalindo.blogspot.com/"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://biografieonline.it/img/bio/m/Marco_Melandri.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 382px; height: 495px;" /></a><a href="http://www.goalindo.blogspot.com/">Marco Melandri cool pose </a></div></div><div style="border: medium none ; overflow: hidden; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); background-color: transparent; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"><br /></div>

On 15 September 2007, Dovizioso announced that he would be making the move up to the MotoGP class with his existing team in 2008.

At the time of writing, he has 103 race victories to his name, second only to Giacomo Agostini. The son of former 250cc GP winner Graziano, Valentino Rossi is a charismatic and popular figure who has raised the profile of motorbike racing in recent seasons, not least by switching from dominant Honda to under-achieving Yamaha and taking the title first time out. Rossi has also demonstrated an interest in four-wheeled competition, and has had outings in a rally car as well as test drives in an F1 Ferrari, but he has also said that bikes are his enduring passion - and the record books will be rewritten if he continues for much longer</p> <p><b>1985</b><br />First go-kart</p> <p><b>1989</b><br />Kart racing début</p> <p><b>1990</b><br />Regional Kart Champion, with nine wins</p> <p><b>1991</b><br />5th in Italian Junior Kart championship; made bike racing début on Minimotos</p> <p><b>1992</b><br />Italian Minibike Endurance Champion</p> <p><b>1993</b><br />12th in Italian 125cc Sport Production championship, with Cagiva</p> <p><b>1994</b><br />Italian 125cc Sport Production Champion, with Cagiva</p> <p><b>1995</b><br />Italian 125cc Champion; 3rd in European 125cc championship; 11th in Spanish Open 125cc championship - all with Aprilia</p> <p><b>1996</b> Scuderia AGV, number 46 Aprilia<br />In his first Grand Prix season, aged seventeen, Valentino was ninth overall in the 125cc series, with 111 points and seven top six finishes. His first visit to the podium came in round ten, with third in Austria, and he won the race at Brno next time out<br />Also 10th in the European 125cc championship, with Aprilia</p> <p><b>1997</b> Nastro Azzurro Aprilia, number 46 Aprilia<br />Rossi’s second year on 125s was dominant, with eleven wins from fifteen races. He also scored a second, a third and a sixth, to complete a 321-point record for the category, and his first World Championship title</p> <p><b>1998</b> Nastro Azzurro Aprilia, number 46 Aprilia<br />The 1998 season was Rossi’s ‘learning’ year in the 250cc series, and he finished second as early as rounds three, four and five. His first win came at Assen in round seven, and four more at the end of the year took him to second overall, on 201 points, between rivals Loris Capirossi and Tetsuya Harada</p> <p><b>1999</b> Aprilia Grand Prix Racing, number 46 Aprilia<br />As in the 125s, Valentino’s second 250 season saw him setting the pace, and his nine race wins meant he duly wrapped up a second GP championship. He was on the podium in twelve of sixteen races, and scored 309 points in total</p> <p><b>2000</b> Nastro Azzurro Honda, number 46 Honda<br />For 2000, Rossi moved onto a works-supported 500cc Honda, engineered by the highly successful Jerry Burgess. Once again it was a learning process, but he was already finishing third in rounds four (where he qualified second), five and seven. A late season run, including wins in Britain and Brazil, saw him emerge as the nearest challenger to champion elect Kenny Roberts. A final tally of 209 points placed him second behind the American Suzuki rider<br />Also qualified sixth for the Suzuka 8 Hours, with Colin Edwards</p> <p><b>2001</b> Nastro Azzurro Honda, number 46 Honda<br />By his second year, Valentino was ready to take the 500 title. Despite a strong challenge from compatriots Max Biaggi and Loris Capirossi, he racked up four pole positions and had thirteen podiums, including eleven wins. In the end he was over 100 points clear - 325 to Biaggi’s 219 - and went down in history as the last man to win a 500cc-only World Championship<br />Also won the Suzuka 8 Hours, with Colin Edwards and Manabu Kamada, and set fastest lap</p> <p><b>2002</b> Repsol Honda Team, number 46 Honda<br />For 2002, Rossi and Burgess were brought into the full factory Honda team, which had produced the RC211V bike for the new 990cc four-stroke GP1 regulations. Despite four-stoke opposition from Max Biaggi, Tohru Ukawa and others, Valentino was once again the top rider. Pole positions at seven venues were converted into another eleven victories, including a run of seven straight that was only ended by a tyre failure. This time 355 points was 140 clear of his nearest rival!</p> <p><b>2003</b> Repsol Honda, number 46 Honda<br />As ever, Rossi was the man to beat in Grands Prix, finishing first, second or third in each of the sixteen races during the year, and wrapping up another title. Although Sete Gibernau stayed in touch for some time, Valentino had plenty of experience in making the decisive break, and is still regarded as the talent by which the rest are jugded</p> <p><img alt="Valentino Rossi 2004 - photo by www.SportsPics.co.za" src="http://www.sportnetwork.net/mainadmin/img/1801082241849.jpg" /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">photo by <a href="http://www.sportspics.co.za/" target="none">www.SportsPics.co.za</a></span></p> <p><b>2004</b> Gauloises Fortuna Yamaha, number 46 Yamaha<br />For 2004, Rossi’s challenge was to take Yamaha back to the top, and that is what he did, despite Honda’s apparent performance advantage. A winner first time out, he was first home nine times in total, with five pole positions, and was always in the top four bar two non-finishes.</p> <p><img alt="Valentino Rossi 2005 - photo © Getty Images" src="http://v4admin.sportnetwork.net/upload/180/180_0_1257809442.jpg" /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">photo © Getty Images</span></p> <p><b>2005</b> Yamaha Gauloises Team, number 46 Yamaha<br />Starting as the favourite for 2005, success for the fourth time meant that Valentino at that time remained the only man to take a 990cc MotoGP class title. The Yamaha M1 was improved, but not superior to the rest and, with a lack of consistency from his Honda rivals, Rossi returned to dominant form. To complete the journey, his performances in torrential rain also proved unbeatable. There were eleven race wins, plus five other podium places, and a record breaking 367 points - as well as five poles and six fastest laps</p> <p><b>2006</b> Camel Yamaha Team, number 46 Yamaha<br />Rossi remained clearly the man to beat, but luck turned against him for a change during 2006. The new Yamaha behaved unpredictably at first and, with non-finishes due to tyre and machine failures, and a couple of falls, the title went to the consistent Nicky Hayden. The Italian rider missed out by just five points after a disastrous final meeting at Valencia but, with five poles and four fastest laps, had still won more times than anyone else - and continued to look the best rider on the grid</p> <p><b>2007</b> Fiat Yamaha Team, number 46 Yamaha<br />The new 800cc rules came in and Rossi’s Yamaha, on Michelin tyres, was left trailing behind Ducati with the Bridgestones, as ridden by Casey Stoner. Valentino was on the podium only eight times altogether, but stayed in touch with Stoner until mid-season, when he slid out of the German race. However, Rossi’s tyres let him down a few times - despite four wins, four poles and three fastest laps, he even fell behind Dani Pedrosa at the last hurdle. Rossi was third on 241 points</p> <p><img alt="Valentino Rossi 2008 - photo © Empics / PA Photos" src="http://v4admin.sportnetwork.net/upload/180/180_0_1245333782.jpg" /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">photo © Empics / PA Photos</span></p> <p><b>2008</b> Fiat Yamaha Team, number 46 Yamaha<br />Valentino demanded a supply of Bridgestone tyres for the new season, and he got his wish. Yamaha’s second works rider, rookie Jorge Lorenzo, was to carry on with the existing Michelin deal. Despite the tyre change, Stoner and Ducati still looked better than the rest as the season kick-started with a night race in Qatar. However, the Australian rider’s fortunes turned after that, and Rossi came on strong with an improved Yamaha and the tyre deal paying off as the Michelins hit troubled times. A run of wins started in round four, and he ended the season with nine altogether, plus two poles and five fastest laps. A new points record of 373 meant an eighth title</p> <p><img alt="Valentino Rossi 2009 - photo © Empics / PA Photos" src="http://v4admin.sportnetwork.net/upload/180/180_0_1252278141.jpg" /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">photo © Empics / PA Photos</span></p> <p><b>2009</b> Fiat Yamaha Team, number 46 Yamaha<br />There was a stronger challenge from team-mate Lorenzo in 2009, with all riders now on the Bridgestone tyres. Stoner’s prospects were hit by a mid-season virus, which made the title race into an all Yamaha affair. Rossi was still a podium regular, but also made a few mistakes which cost him points. However, Lorenzo made mistakes of his own, and the Italian defeated his team-mate eight times on track when they both finished. Importantly, a head-to-head battle on the last lap in Barcelona went to Valentino with a dramatic last corner pass. Six wins, seven pole positions and 306 points contributed to Rossi’s ninth title. He also passed the milestone of 100 GP wins</p>
