2017 MotoGP™ pre-season dates and details!


The 2017 pre-season is set to begin in traditional style with the Valencian post-GP test, which will take place on the 15th and 16th November and see riders debut their colours for the season ahead – including Jorge Lorenzo (Movistar Yamaha MotoGP) getting his first taste of his new Ducati.
After December and January see the MotoGP™ paddock take a well-earned break ready for another year of high-octane action, the first tests of 2017 will take place at Sepang International Circuit in Malaysia from the 30th of January to the 1st of February with the first official sessions of the year.
After Malaysia, the paddock will head south to Australia and the stunning Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit, for three more test days: from the 15th to 17th February.
The last pre-season test sessions will then see teams head back west to Qatar and Losail International Circuit from the 10th to 12th March – two weeks before the season kicks off proper at the same venue from the 23rd to 26th March.
Moto2™ and Moto3™ will have two official tests in March, one at the Circuito de Jerez from the 8th to 10th and the second at Losail once again, from the 17th to 19th before engines fire up and the lights go out for competition.

Yamaha Crossplane Cranshaft

Completely new crossplane crankshaft design to increase the throttle and drive ability by reducing the inertia force. Function   Crossplane design means that each of the crankpins are at a 90° angle compared to the next.  The crankpins are therefore in two planes crossed at 90°, thus the name crossplane crankshaft.  The crossplane crankshaft is designed to reduce inertia torque created by the engine to a minimum.  The torque that a rider feels is a combination of two kinds of torque: the Combustion torque coming directly from the firing of the engine, and the Inertia torque coming from the movement of the parts (such as pistons and crankshaft) inside the engine.  The inertia torque acts as ‘noise’ interfering with the combustion torque and thus throttle feeling for the driver.  Just like music we don’t want to have any cracks, hick-ups or other disturbances to interfere with the quality of the music. In other words we don’t want noise in the music!  With the

Dalam pelbagai juadah pada musim perayaan Aidilfitri, hidangan lemang periuk kera antara yang menjadi bahan perbualan sejak beberapa tahun lalu. Lemang periuk kera dikatakan lebih enak berbanding lemang buluh yang sudah menjadi kebiasaan dihidangkan Juadah ini dimasak dalam kelongsong periuk kera atau nama saintifiknya Nepenthes Mirabilis dan sangat popular di negeri Pahang dan Johor. Namun di sebalik populariti lemang itu, barangkali ramai yang tidak tahu bahawa tumbuhan periuk kera sedang mengalami ancaman. Dan apa yang wajar diketahui juga, periuk kera  merupakan mangkuk tandas buat haiwan mamalia seperti Kelawar dan juga tupai. Perkara itu didedahkan oleh akaun Twitter rasmi @ZoologiMy yang menyifatkan menghidangkan lemang periuk kera di hari raya bukan pilihan yang bijak. "Lemang Periuk Kera, bukan pilihan yang bijak untuk  musim perayaan," kata @ZoologiMY. Satu kajian baru yang dilakukan oleh sekumpulan saintis dari Universiti Brunei Dar
