Penrite Honda Racing’s Brett Metcalfe has cleared himself of injury after bowing out of the weekend’s Monster Energy S-X Open Auckland in New Zealand when he was involved in a first turn incident during main event one.
The former AMA Supercross regular fell victim to the slippery turn one conditions that came as a result of over 20mm of rain prior to evening’s night show, sliding out while coming into a contact with a number of riders, including American import Christian Craig (Geico Honda).
“I’m all good,” Metcalfe declared to MotoOnline.com.au. “I had a couple of problems with the bike from that crash anyway, but I jammed my hand really hard between mine and Christian’s bike. I have a metal plate in my thumb, so when that gets jammed or compressed, it’s like pins and needles in your bone – it’s like being electrocuted almost.
“It’s weird, it’s gone in like 30 seconds, but your whole thumb is on fire. The bike sustained damage anyway, so it wasn’t really deemed safe for me to continue in a non-championship race. I was bummed – I only went there with one intention, and that was to race to win.”
Metcalfe praised the event, particularly taking into consideration the weather that was dealt with, stating he believes if wasn’t for the rain, it would’ve been the best supercross to be hosted in southern hemisphere.
“It was awesome and the crowd was huge,” he continued. “I think that was the biggest motorsport event in New Zealand, and it’s got to be close for motocross in Australia too. It was phenomenal to get that crowd, especially with the weather conditions to get that turnout, it just shows the passion and enthusiasm they have over there.
“It’s a shame for track builders and the organisers to get that weather. I think it would’ve been – it’s hard to really say – but I think it would’ve been one of the best supercross events the southern hemisphere has ever seen. The rain definitely put a hamper on it.”
It was a mixed 2018 campaign for Metcalfe, finishing sixth in the Pirelli MX Nationals after numerous DNFs, while he made an incredible assault at the Australian Supercross Championship, falling just nine points shy of the crown.

The MotoE grid has completed three days of testing in Jerez to continue getting to grips with the Energica Ego Corsa, marking the first official outing of the electric-powered category.
The weather conditions didn’t make it easy on the final day, with a damp track in the morning then getting a downpour mid-way through the day.
Given the conditions, no one was able to better lap-times from the day before, resulting in Bradley Smith (One Energy Racing) retains his best time in the combined standings, thanks to his 1m50.265s he put in on Saturday morning, when three-tenths separated him from his closest rival Niki Tuuli (Ajo Motorsport MotoE).
In third there was a bigger mover on day two as Mike Di Meglio (EG 0,0 Marc VDS) moved up to P3, just over a tenth off Tuuli, with Mattia Casadei (Ongetta SIC58 Squadra Corse) another tenth and a half in arrears in P4. Matteo Ferrari (Trentino Gresini MotoE) completed the top five, but a little further back.
Eric Granado (Avintia Esponsorama Racing), meanwhile, was sixth fastest but from his time set on Friday, just ahead of Kenny Foray (Tech3 E-Racing). Randy De Puniet (LCR E-Team), who put in the fastest time of the final session on Saturday but couldn’t improve, was down in eighth, ahead of Australian Josh Hook (Alma Pramac Racing) and Niccolò Canepa (LCR E-Team), who completed the top 10.
The next MotoE official test will take place on the 13-15 of March in Jerez, which also hosts the first ever round of the FIM Enel MotoE World Cup next season.

Former MX2 world champion and Monster Energy AMA Supercross 250SX East title holder has hailed the Monster Energy S-X Open Auckland a ‘massive success’ following its inaugural showing in New Zealand on Saturday night.
Despite poor weather conditions looming over the event, over 21,000 fans packed Mount Smart Stadium to witness a selection of world class athletes take to the American-style supercross circuit, which ultimately saw Australia’s Chad Reed (Autotrader Yoshimura Suzuki Factory Racing) dominate ahead of DPH Motorsport Husqvarna duo Dean Wilson and Hayden Mellross.
New Zealand native Townley explained the S-X Open provides a significant boost to aspiring racers, with a domestic supercross platform for the next crop of Kiwi talents now on offer.
“It was a massive success,” said Townley. “Pre-sale was good, but for everyone to actually come out and see what supercross actually is – it’s the first time we’ve supercross at this scale – it’s been a huge success for the sport. A couple of the young kids have never been to a [supercross] event, let alone compete in something like this before.
“Hopefully if this event continues we’ll see them get in and get amongst it – it’s going to be a great springboard for our sport this event. All the kids in the crowd that I’ve seen now after the event are just fizzing – absolutely fizzing.
“This event just goes to show that motorsport as a whole, there’s appeal for events of this calibre and I know there were Kiwi kids in the stands tonight dreaming of being the next Chad Reed in the future so the sport is bright for us, we just need to capitalise on the success of this event.”
Townley put on an amazing display for his home crowd, going bar-to-bar with social media sensation Ronnie Mac to win the Boost Mobile International Showdown.

Moto2 testing continued at Jerez on Sunday to complete the first official outing for the intermediate class powered by Triumph machinery, although after a damp start to the day, conditions worsened, putting an end to to any improved lap-times.
That means Luca Marini (Sky Racing Team VR46) remains quickest after his Saturday best of 1m41.524s, followed by Sam Lowes (Federal Oil Gresini Moto2) and Alex Marquez (EG 0,0 Marc VDS), Australia’s Remy Gardner was highly-impressive to wind up in fourth during his first appearance with the SAG Racing team.
Lorenzo Baldassarri (Pons HP 40) was fifth, just 0.044s off Gardner, Jorge Navarro (Speed Up Racing) began his Speed Up career in a solid P6 in a tight top 10, with Marcel Schrötter (Dynavolt Intact GP) and Augusto Fernanández (Pons HP40) in seventh and eighth respectively. Tetsuta Nagashima (SAG Team) and Xavi Vierge (EG 0,0 Marc VDS), changing team, completed the top 10 with their fastest times on day two.
Reigning Moto3 world champion and Moto2 rookie Jorge Martin (Red Bull KTM Ajo) who stole the headlines after he crashed on day one, resulting with a left humerus fracture and a some broken bones in his foot. That means he’ll be sidelined in order to recover, with his first taste of the category cut short for now. His best time prior to incident saw him wind up 23rd.
While most riders would agree that tougher licensing and more training is vital, there have been some unexpected and adverse consequences for all riders.
It seems many riders simply find it too time-consuming and expensive to obtain a motorcycle licence. Instead, they take the risk of riding without a licence and therefore uninsured.
And because they haven’t received proper training, they are crashing!
Unlicensed rider crash stats
MUARC doesn’t provide actual numbers, but unlicensed riders probably represent a small proportion of the overall motorcycling population.
However, their existence unfavourably skews the crash statistics.
Unfortunately, governments grab these crash stats and use them to impose tougher restrictions on all riders.
MUARC says 7% of all motorcycle crashes involve riders without a valid motorcycle licence.
Take those numbers out of the motorcycle crash statistics and they would be more realistic.
Unlicensed riders also tend to have 25% more serious injury crashes than licensed riders, MUARC says.
That’s probably because they tend to ride older motorcycles that don’t have modern and safer brakes and handling characteristics.
Licence checks
Police pull over riders on the Gold Coast hinterland
The prevalence of these illegal riders on our roads is also used as an excuse by police to perform prejudicial enforcement (some call it harassment).
Some may welcome police conducting regular licence checks on riders to weed out those without a valid licence.
However, police could just as easily rely on their Automatic Number Plate Recognition technology.
Instead, they discriminate against all riders by pulling them over in larger numbers than other motorists.
Experienced riders and newcomers alike often feel like their ride could use a more personal kind of upgrade. While the technical details of a new motorcycle purchase are essential, many motorcycle enthusiasts purchase vehicles more on the basis of how the bike looks and feels that they do on any technical specs.
That said, things like safety, fuel economy, and insurance costs are basic details that should never be overlooked. A beautiful ride is one thing, but it is important to see the entire picture. While we recommend knowing everything, there is to know about any bike you might decide to purchase, and we know that the attitude and character of the bike are just as important to the true motorcycle enthusiast. With that in mind, here are a few tips that will help you make the right choice.
#1: Listen to What Other Enthusiasts Have to Say
Talk to actual riders about their bikes. Find out what they like and what they don’t. Find out what they would want in their next bike that their current ride doesn’t deliver. All riders’ tastes vary so catalog the information and decide what details are of the most personal importance. Take note of the styles, makes, and models that seem to have the kinds of specifications you find most appealing.
Rider forums and social media channels are also excellent sources of information. Take particular note of posts from riders who discuss specific makes and models that sound appealing. Learn everything possible – both positives and negatives. The perfect ride may not exist, but some bikes will be a better fit for certain riders than they will be for others.
There are also some excellent informational resources that can help move the selection process along more quickly. Manyprofessional bloggers and custom writing services like this collaborate on and publish information that places the wants and needs of the rider in the spotlight. You’re reading one of those pieces right now. Keep reading for more inspiration, and you might discover a few things you didn’t even know you wanted in a bike.
#2: Get A Few Non-Biased Opinions
No, the technical details might be as exciting as a blog post about top riding destinations, but they are nonetheless important. Some bikes just aren’t suited for the types of climates, altitudes, and terrains the rider would want them to tackle.
Part of knowing that a bike is a good match is knowing that it can perform the way the rider expects. The only way to find out is to read a few objectiveconsumer reviews. Get the facts. Doing so can help keep you from making a disappointing choice.
#3: Compare Models Side-By-Side
Go to several different dealerships and speak with the sales reps about the different models they have available. Remember, the goal of any dealer rep is to make a sale so don’t expect unbiased opinions here. This is why a bit of independent research is essential before walking into a dealership. Get several opinions from people who have a vested interest in selling a bike. Most are riders themselves and will give you honest opinions about the advantages and disadvantages based on what they find out about your wants, needs, and personal tastes.
As a parting note, always trust your feelings and intuition. Just because a bike is popular doesn’t mean it’s all that great or that it would be a good fit for you. Be patient, assess all available options, and make the best possible selection. A new bike is an investment that no rider wants to regret.
More pieces of the BSB 2019 puzzle have fallen into place with Smiths Racing BMW confirming that Peter Hickman will be joined onboard the brand-new S1000RR by James Ellison.
31-year-old Hickman from Louth in Lincolnshire remains with Alan and Rebecca Smith’s team for a third successive season having finished in an impressive fifth place in the 2018 Bennetts BSB series with a double podium finish at Thruxton to ensure qualification into the Showdown for a second successive season, from where he scored another podium at Assen.
Peter Hickman
“I’m absolutely over the moon to be staying with Smiths Racing for 2019. Myself, Rebecca, Alan and all the team get on so well and really gel as our results prove, so staying with them was always what I wanted. And now we’re welcoming James into the fold too, someone I’ve worked with before in 2016 and we got on great, he helped me a lot that year and I really think we’ll motivate and push each other. He’s a championship contender and so am I, so between us we have one of the strongest teams on the grid and to say I’m excited is an understatement. Along with all that we have the new Smiths BMW S1000RR which looks absolutely stunning and I can’t wait to throw my leg over it in testing before it gets real at BSB and on the roads.”

Hickman had a stellar season on the roads too, winning at every major road race, including the Isle of Man TT Races, International North West 200, Ulster Grand Prix as well as this month’s Macau Grand Prix. Peter also claimed the outright TT lap record at 135.452mph on his way to victory on the Smiths BMW in the Senior TT race. Hickman will also contest the full closed roads programme once again as in 2018.
Joining Hickman in the Smiths Racing BMW squad will be experienced Cumbrian James Ellison, who joins Smiths Racing BMW from rivals Anvil Hire TAG Racing. Originally from Kendal but now residing at Swadlincote in the Midlands, the 38-year-old is a former World Endurance and double European Superstock champion who has just missed out on the BSB title in the past.
James Ellison
“First of all I just want to thank Alan, Rebecca and Darren for giving me this opportunity. I had an incredibly difficult 2018 season for various reasons, we had great pace but were lacking one key component that stopped me from getting the results which both myself and the TAG team were capable of. They are such a friendly, family-run team that made me feel so welcome, so I want to say a huge thank you to them and I wish them the best of luck in the future. I figured it would be impossible to call 2018 my ‘last’ season in BSB after having so many successful seasons fighting for the championship and it is just not in my nature to walk away knowing I can still fight for the BSB title given the right tools. The Smiths Racing BMW team have had another strong season with Hicky proving they are true title contenders and I’m delighted to be teaming up with Hicky again. We are really good friends off track but of course tough rivals on it and I believe we will push each other all year and work closely together to speed up the development of the all-new BMW S1000RR. The support from the fans has been incredible, even when I was struggling, which means so much to me and I can’t wait to start testing in March.”

BSB Musical Chairs
Other recent movements in BSB include Jason O’Halloran heading from Honda to McAMS Yamaha and Dan Linfoot to Tag Racing Yamaha. Their previous positions at Honda have been filled by Xavi Fores alongside Andrew Irwin.

Before the 2018 season had even finished Josh Brookes announced his move to Be Wiser Ducati where he will be joined by MotoGP exile Scott Redding. The pair should be a force to be reckoned with on the new Panigale V4 R. In addition to their British Superbike Championship campaigns, Redding and Brookes are also hoping for wild card appearances at least one event in the World Superbike Championship.
Australia’s Ben Currie makes the step up to Superbike with the JG Speedfit Kawasaki squad alongside Glenn Irwin.

Christian Iddon and Keith Farmer are expected to ride for Tyco BMW while Ryan Vickers steps in to the RAF Kawasaki squad.
Danny Buchan is definitely in with a good chance aboard the FS-3 Racing Kawasaki and has the benefits of being one of the few top runners not to move teams for the new season.

Buildbase Suzuki have confirmed Bradley Ray but it seems that a possible second GSX-R1000R seat is yet to be filled in that team. Luke Mossey and Gino Rea will ride for OMG Suzuki.
Who will rise to the top?
With Shane Byrne’s recovery from injury seemingly further delayed, 2018 BSB Champion Leon Haslam heading to World Superbike, and second place getter Jake Dixon heading to Moto2, it will be very interesting to see how the form guide for season 2019 shakes up when things get underway in the 12-round series at Silverstone over Easter next year (19/21 April).

Ben Townley – Kiwi Favourite
Kiwi ace Ben Townley put in a sweet show for his home crowd, going bar-to-bar with rival Ronnie Mac to win the Boost Mobile International Showdown.
The pair traded blows on the track before literally trading blows off it to cap off a huge win for the ANZACs over the Internationals.
Ben Townley
“The showdown went to plan, Ronnie jumped the gun as I expected so I had to trail him all the way to the last corner, and was able to sneak up the inside and just pile drive him into the dirt and yeah that was it, he was on the floor and I was able to get the victory for the ANZACs. This event just goes to show that motorsport as a whole, there’s appeal for events of this calibre and I know there were Kiwi kids in the stands tonight dreaming of being the next Chad Reed in the future so the sport is bright for us, we just need to capitalise on the success of this event.”

In the SX2 class, it was American ace Dakota Alix who took the spoils form Aussie Ryan Marmont, with local kiwi Josiah Natzke claiming the final podium spot.
With no Supercross series in New Zealand, it was a huge challenge for Natzke on the world-class track but the youngster was up to the challenge to finish as the fastest Kiwi for the event.
Josiah Natzke
“Us Kiwi’s don’t have Supercross so this event means a lot really. I think there were lots of people here tonight who don’t have anything to do with moto so it’s just good for the whole thing, it’s good for the riders, the young people coming here, there are heaps of young kids out here tonight, so it’s just mint for everyone.”

Monster Energy S-X Open Auckland
The 2018 Monster Energy S-X Open Auckland was supported by Auckland Tourism Events & Economic Development (ATEED) and Monster Energy.
The Monster Energy S-X Open International Supercross FIM Oceania Championship consists of two rounds at the Monster Energy AUS-X Open Sydney (November 9-10) and Monster Energy S-X Open Auckland (November 24) events and is sanctioned by FIM Oceania (FIMO).
The Monster Energy S-X Open Auckland was hailed a huge success with 21,126 screaming fans on hand to witness the inaugural running of the event.
This British video of a police officer with sirens going and a hi-vis jacket and bike shows that some motorists still don’t see riders.
It shows a police special escort group of BMW R 1200 bikes escorting British Prime Minister Theresa May with the Metropolitan Police’s Protection Command in London.
Right from the start it shows a van driver doesn’t even see the police officer with hi-vis gear, flashing lights and sirens.
It also suggest increasing motorcycle visibility technology such as modulating headlights.
Well, the British police officer above has his motorcycle lights flashing but still wasn’t seen.
If even bike cops officers can’t be seen, what more could we riders possibly do to be seen and heard on the road?
Most riders resist mandatory hi-vis gear as is required for Victorian novice riders and France where riders have to carry a hi-vis vest to wear the vest during a breakdown.
Many claim they are still not seen even when wearing bright gear and on brightly coloured motorcycles.
Richard says he has studied many scientific studies about hi-vis clothing and says there is no conclusive evidence it is safer for riders.
However, there are several international studies with varied findings suggesting:
Dark clothing is more visible in certain lighting situations;
Hi-vis rider gear may be less visible in certain conditions; and
Hi-vis clothing could create a “target fixation” for motorists, causing them to steer toward the wearer.
Richard also says he regularly wears a hi-visibility jacket when riding, but has still been hit by a car.
“The driver claimed they didn’t see me, from a distance of less than 2m, as they changed lanes on top of me,” he says.
The Victorian Motorcycle Council also says hi-vis is a safety myth, claiming:
Wearing hi-vis clothing may impart a false sense of security for novice riders;
Modern research shows that people don’t recognise or react to motorcycles, rather than not seeing them at all;
Drivers are more likely to see a bike but make an error in timing; and
All bikes have hard-wired headlights yet no research has been done on how this affects hi-visibility.
Some say group rides with lead and tail-end riders in hi-vis vests destroys our argument.
However hi-vis vests on group rides are not worn for safety reasons. They are there to help distinguish those riders from the others so that riders don’t accidentally pass the lead rider or fall behind the sweep.
Luca Marini (Sky Racing Team VR46) topped the second day of testing for the new era of Moto2 in southern Spain despite a crash, with the Malaysian GP winner having just been beaten to the honour late on Friday.
Luca Marini
Marini’s 1:41.524 put him just over two-and-a-half-tenths clear of his nearest rival, Sam Lowes (Federal Oil Gresini Moto2), with the Brit once again a force to be reckoned on his return to the Gresini squad.
To compare this new 765 triple-cylinder era to the previous CBR600RR powered, the fastest Moto2 lap at the Jerez race weekend back in May was a 1m41.890 by Lorenzo Baldassarri on a 33-degree track temperature in FP3. Conditions for this test are around five-degrees cooler.
Sam Lowes
Alex Marquez (EG 0,0 Marc VDS) completed the top three, and was another frontrunner who crashed. Remy Gardner (SAG Team) ended the day less than a tenth off Marquez, with the top five completed by Friday’s fastest, Lorenzo Baldassarri (Pons HP 40). The Italian was close though, just 0.044 off Gardner.
Rain interrupted action mid-way through the day, and in the final session only Steven Odendaal (NTS RW Racing), Lukas Tulovic (Kiefer Racing) and Brad Binder (Red Bull KTM Ajo) went out.
Jorge Navarro (Speed Up Racing) began his Speed Up career in a solid P6 in a tight top ten, with Marcel Schrötter (Dynavolt Intact GP) and Augusto Fernanández (Pons HP40) in seventh and eighth respectively. Tetsuta Nagashima (SAG Team) and Xavi Vierge (EG 0,0 Marc VDS) completed the top ten on Day 2.
Brad Binder fastest KTM framed machine in P13
Then came the first of the rookies: Nicolo Bulega (Sky Racing Team VR46), another who impressed despite a crash. Bulega was also the quickest debutant on Friday and ended Day 2 in P11 – more solid form from the Italian as fellow rookies Fabio Di Giannantonio (Speed Up Racing) and Enea Bastianini (Italtrans Racing Team) took P16 and P17 respectively.
Marco Bezzecchi (Red Bull KTM Tech 3) was P24, whereas reigning Moto3 World Champion Jorge Martin (Red Bull KTM Ajo) sits on the sidelines injured. His teammate, Brad Binder, was P13 and fastest KTM, with Martin’s replacement Iker Lecuona beginning his stint just behind Bezzecchi.
Marco Bezzecchi – P24
“We had a quite positive second day, although we unfortunately didn’t ride too much because the weather changed. I was working even more on my riding style, which became better today. But still, we have to continue our good work in terms of riding style and also regarding chassis setup. All the team is very motivated and also KTM helps a lot. Tomorrow we will try to go faster.”
Marco Bezzecchi
Jake Dixon continued to make progress on his KTM framed machine on the second day of the 2019 preseason. The Briton finished second in the British Superbike Championship to Leon Haslam this season and the 22-year-old steps into the Moto2 ranks with Ángel Nieto Team. Dixon was three tenths quicker than yesterday in the two sessions that beat the weather, finishing 2.6 seconds off the top.
Jake Dixon – P27
“I still don’t have the best feeling with the bike, we’re struggling a little bit, but we are working hard together with the team to understand this KTM. For example, today we improved the feeling with the front end. It is incredible the job that the team are doing to help me get comfortable. It is a shame that the rain came and limited the track time because we need as many laps as possible in these tests. We could do with another session in the dry because we have worked on some things that could help us improve. Hopefully it doesn’t rain tomorrow because otherwise we’ll have to wait until next year to try them.”
Jake Dixon gets a taste of Moto2
The fastest MV Agusta on their return to the paddock was Stefano Manzi (MV Agusta Forward Racing), who slotted into fourteenth.
Sunday is the third and final day of testing at Jerez for the intermediate class as the new era of Triumph power begins.
