16/01/2010: MOTOR BIKE EXPO SHOW VERONA
will go down in history as the first (and larger) figure of shit of the year: the debut as a press officer Alex Polita I were thrown into a stand any of the fair in Verona with a microphone in hand and a camera pointed in his face forced to interview the pilot said he still confidence was zero and the embarrassment much. At first take, everything is ok, but guess what, 'for whatever evil reason the camera did not record and panic for the second take, was granted. After passing this test unscathed, another hall, another new figure and the same camera stand ... beginning of a new career or end of a never started?

30/01/2010: BARNI RACING TEAM LAUNCH
Two weeks to prepare psychologically for the return to the scene, to find five decent questions and learn by heart the "poetry" in the hope of making a better shape and the whole performance anxiety underestimating the second time! The time X: total darkness, trembling voice, improvisation and phrases made sense or not dotted with "uh ... mmm .. eee ...". All right, TV is not for me, understand (no, I told you)! For this occasion the weather nice autumn-winter '09-'10, which I already had seen the star of a hike in the snow with the SisyCar, proposed, that's incredible: snow on Friday night before leaving and sub-zero temperatures, ice and fog on Saturday night when they had to come from Bergamo to Milan, all interspersed with moments of calm in which the undersigned has been able to hit a sidewalk ghost Paderno d'Adda (LC) by bending the right front tire and wheel trims losing both right. Tests have averted any break on SisyCar who was still unaware of the travel route would be soon. famous phrases:
"Where the f ** k or we are"Silvia & Sara lost in the fog near Treviglio (BG)
Thanks to: Sara Vimercati and family, Alessandro Polita, Simone Panconi, Gianluca March, the Barnes Racing Team, the ghost of sidewalk Paderno d'Adda (LC), fog and ice

06/02/2010: MO.TO OPENING
Yes I know that I have written extensively of the day, interview the pilot of dreams, shaking hands and so on. But it was when the handsome James started in the direction of Venice Marco Polo Airport, which began our adventure, because the aforementioned nice weather autumn-winter '09-'10 proposed to rain again and so happened that the new Yamaha dealer Feltrina arise on the road, Montebelluna locations in Treviso province, surrounded by fields. And being the main parking area occupied by refreshments, fate decided that the insiders were doing parked on the back, on a dirt road on the edge of an expanse of mud, mud in which they are literally sunk the wheels of SisyCar. To no avail the sfrizionate and micro-maneuvers to try to get out of this nightmare without too dirty and without asking for help who knows who, under penalty of figure shit. Unfortunate was the presenter of the event, fully dressed, was passing by just as considering the idea of \u200b\u200basking for help. Bottom line: nice presenter muddied up in his underwear, with livery SisyCar free rally and many, many laughs. Within seven days will be destroyed by burning a tire and the engine I would say that is a good average. But this Saturday in the middle of winter has become famous for his sheep (many) that first appeared in our path and that will become the leitmotiv and original mascot of the 2010 trips. famous phrases:
"Your Inglese is good now ... Great job, nice questions!" James Toseland
Thanks: Giorgia Casaro, James Toseland, my trembling hand, the mud, the presenter of the event and the sheep

12/02/2010: TEAM YAMAHA LAUNCH STERILGARDA
After notifying the beloved James Toseland only six days earlier, they would not have attended the presentation of the team, according to him, would be held in Milan , found that the event in question was to be held near Lake Garda, Lombardy side, our heroes decided they could do: a regularly accredited, the other illegally pocketed, but then we must have to begin somehow . The unique location, the plant in Castiglione delle Sterilgarda (MN), was achieved thanks to the incredible sense of direction that has always distinguished myself, to the sound of "inspires me over here", after the suicide of the navigator on duty (RIP). Gloss over the presentation of the team itself made of the usual interviews, good intentions for the season and usual photos, rather than to dwell on the interesting visit to the factory which, after much fascinated with the machine gun shoot straws for fruit juices, has upset with intelligent machines for the storage of merchandise in our delirium post / pre-Jack as we have called the machines taking over the world. Any other comment on the day I think it's useless because I guess you understand how it can be degenerated. Important, however, to signal the second sighting of the sheep during the return trip in the sad province of Venice waiting for the next appointment to the first round of European World Superbike Portimao.

26-28/03/2010: PORTIMÃO WSBK, GOOD FIRST
The booking of the flight of this first posting was dated February 2, a clear signal of what was awaiting the first round of European World Superbike on the same track where just five months earlier had ended the 2009 season. The names on boarding passes were those crazy three: myself, the Gio, motivated to recover in a few months to two years away from the paddock, and Sancios, fan Skaten met a few months before and brave enough to want to follow the other two enterprise. The application "But who made me do?" am sure if the mail is when, recently departed from the airport Faro towards Autodromo do Algarve, a text message from the corresponding in Italy announced that that there had James Toseland set the fastest time of the first practice session, just before the Portuguese spot a flock to pasture. From there, easy to understand, the delusion is shared as we had left in Castiglione delle Stiviere. In the paddock a climate diametrically opposed to the last day of school left in late October, very little result, temperatures, although higher than the Italian ones, very rigid than a few months before and pilots and experts focused to start the season in the best way. Transferring a bit warm 'for all the forthcoming where he took measurements and knowing the right people, we will act without brakes! famous phrases:

21-26/04/2010: WSBK ASSEN, THE JOURNEY OF HOPE
It was the February 22, when the same gang of three that would have won in a month Portimão, decided to book for the Next trip, to Assen in Holland. Everything had been arranged with the best meeting destination, Bremen, rental car in Germany and the route to the Netherlands, the apartment close to the racetrack and the hotel for the last night near the ' airport and up early to avoid travel at night. Everything perfect, but proof of travel agency ... in exactly seven days prior to departure, April 14, the Icelandic volcano inutilissimo dall'impronunciabile Eyjafjallajökull name, decided to erupt shooting nell'atmosfema an ash cloud that blocked air traffic in northern Europe for days after leaving anxiety that our flight would not have been able to take off. In anticipation of this response on April 17 addresses the postman a nice letter from my different bank, which informed me that two days before I was blocked a credit card for security reasons, the same paper on which we would expectations for the car above! The panic has been calmed by solving the problem at its root: April 19 Ryanair has announced the cancellation of all flights for the day of our departure flight and there would not be served without any rent. Two days to be thoroughly reorganized, because the possibility of giving up is not even passed from the hall of the brain of any of the three. Papabile only alternative, the car and the only willing and able to support this trip, the SisyCar ... Wednesday, April 21 is the day of the trip, my alarm rings at 3:00 AM, departure is at 3:30 with destination Milan to Mestre and then retrieve all the fellow travelers, and from there Assen for 1,400 km in 17 hours long alternating driving without ever stopping, cutting vertically Europe from south to north through Italy, Switzerland, Germany and Holland. The journey of hope for which we felt to crazy, but for which we have gladly sacrificed bringing home, on balance, the best trip of the season. work in progress ...
