In Albacete we had an exciting and funny race weekend. As we mentioned in our previous post, our rider Ricieri Luvizotto arrived to this race without knowing the track and without any experience riding a Moto2 bike. In the CEV (Spanish Championship) the level is very high, so this race was a serious challenge for him. On Friday on the first practice we were lapping in 1:40. On saturday on the first qualify Ricieri la

This weekend we are in Albacete racing the penultimate CEV (Spanish Championship) Moto2 race of current season, with young (19 years) Brazilian rider Ricieri Luvizotto, riding our BOTT M212. This season Ricieri has been racing the CBR 600 F cup in Brazil with a spectacular resoult. He won the championship, winning all the races and taking all the pole positions. Here in Spain the resoults will be quite different for

During last two weeks we raced the 2 last CEV rounds (Valencia and Jerez) with the BOTT M211 and David Tirado as rider. As last year we raced integrated in the MEDES team. We also had Lambea as sponsor, this has been a great help in this financial crisis times. Despite the final results were not very good, we are happy about these 2 races. It is a pity that both were in wet conditions, because this season we made les

We had some time without talking about our Moto2 project. The bike didn’t test or race since April. During this time we continued working on it, mainly on the engine and with the mapping. As we already commented, we tested several exhausts on the dyno and finally we are using an Arrow one. We are going to race the 2 last CEV rounds of the season, in Valencia (13th of November) and Jerez (20th of November). For

While we find a rider to race the CEV with our Moto2, we keep working in the bike development. During the last days we spent quite time working on the dyno, testing several things, life for example several exhaust systems. We will probably change our exhaust, we will dedicate a post to explain it with more detail. Meanwhile here you can see one of the dyno tests. Testing exhausts on the dyno. from Bottpower on Vimeo.

We arrived to Jerez with very few kilometers of pre-season (just one test), but also with a strong desire to achieve a good resoult. The bike had a new bodywork painting that make it look more agressive. In Friday F1 and F2 trainings we already saw that we were quite far from the head laptimes, although Antonio Gallardo was improving his lap times everytime he was on the tarmac. On friday our best time was 1:48,9. Sa

Last Tuesday and Wednesday (5th and 6th of April) we were testing in Jerez. It was our first test of the 2011 season, and the first time that Antonio Gallardo (our new rider) tested the BOTT M210. Most of the CEV Moto2 teams were also testing in Jerez, and also some of the fastest Moto2 riders in the World Championship, like Marc Marquez or Andrea Ianone. It’s always good to share the track with those guys. Tue

We are working on some merchandising stuff that we will sell in a short time through our website. The intention is to have high quality articles, with high attention to design, details, etc. We want this articles to reflect our philosophy and the way we do our work. First article we are working on is a poster of our Moto2, the BOTT M210, printed in photographic quality paper at A2 size (around 587×413 mm or 23.1

As you know last year we raced the 2 last events of the Spanish Championship (CEV). Once the season was finished we started working to find the way to race the whole 2011 CEV season. The task was not easy because with current crisis it is very difficult to find the necessary budget to race a whole Moto2 season. Finally we arranged everything, and we will race with Almassora Competicion team, with Antonio Gallardo as

We started the new year in a very quiet mode in our blog, although we are not so quiet in Bottpower. We we are working hard to give shape to our 2011 race project in the CEV. With current economic situation things are beeing difficult and today we still don’t have defined the team we are going to race with, and neither the rider (or riders). But we didn’t want to finish January without publishing a post.
