“I think that is very, very important to be in contact with the team members. I don’t want to say daily, but weekly, at least. With many of them, even daily – with the people that are closer to me, and with the factory,” begins Tardozzi. “But in the end, what I love is to have the family feeling. ‘Family feeling’ means that you need to be really close to them or you need to organise things all together.

So who wants to stop Zaccone taking the crown? The closest candidate is Eric Granado (ONE Energy Racing), who arrives seven points down after a very different route into contention. Two wins, a second place, a DNF and a salvage job for three points is his CV in 2021, and his pace has been impressive at every venue. A threat for the win every weekend, Granado’s speed has sometimes seen him escape too – which would be enough, if he does it twice, to lift the crown.

Aprilia continued showing form at Aragon, and will expect to carry that on at Misano. Aleix Espargaro (Aprilia Racing Team Gresini) took fourth and was top Independent Team rider, which may not be another history-making milestone like Silverstone, but it’s still their second best result in the MotoGP™ era. So the momentum rolls on, and Misano is familiar turf as well as home for the Noale factory. Maverick Viñales, new to the ranks, also has a few more laps round the venue on his new RS-GP, as it’s where he got the first taste. A winner last year at the track too, can he take a step forward? Lorenzo Savadori will also make it three Aprilias on the grid as he returns in a wildcard with Aprilia Racing.

‘Diggia’, meanwhile, evidently has shown speed at the track but this season has seen the Italian’s early charge take a dip in the middle. The last two races have seen him back in the top six though, so can he get back in the fight for the podium? And what can the likes of Aron Canet (Inde Aspar Team) and Jorge Navarro (+Ego Speed Up) do on the Boscoscuro? Ogura, too, remains on a solid roll. The Japanese rider is less than a race win’s worth of points off the top five overall is on a good run of top tens, including that first podium.

If Foggia is to continue making big gains, he’ll also want to defeat Sergio Garcia (Gaviota GASGAS Aspar Team) too, which is no mean feat when the Spaniard is on it. Unfortunately, he came off it at MotorLand and lost the chance to home in on Acosta, but he’s the other rider with multiple wins so far this year and still has a little cushion back to Foggia, such was the deficit before. Can he, and teammate Izan Guevara, bother the podium fight again?

Kawasaki Motors Australia have revealed a revamped website, as the brand unifies their websites across much of the globe, making it easier than ever to check out the whole range and find out anything you need to know.
All the features we love remain, including the Australia specific features, like finding your local dealer or test ride location, the full learner (LAMS) approved range for new riders, the ability to compare models, check for recalls and input your postcode to get a ride-away price specific to your area. That means no scouring the internet to try and figure out official pricing.
Naturally there’s plenty more there to check out, including model information, the latest Kawasaki news stories, racing news, general Kawasaki information and much more.
You can browse the full range of motorcycles (or ATVs, SxS and watercraft) via an elegant drop down which groups the models by family and shows an image for each, allowing direct access to the bike pages without having to navigate through multiple pages. The category pages meanwhile offer an overview of all the models in each, if you’re not sure what you’re after.
A landing page features a banner with the biggest news, while current offers and promotions are the next item on display, ensuring you don’t miss any deals. You’ll also find links to the apparel and accessory range if you scroll further down.
That makes for a clean, easy to use and access website, whether you’re on a mobile or computer. Check out the Kawasaki Motors Australia website at www.kawasaki.com.au.
