Sexy Bikers: Monster Energy Girls

from TWOWHEELSBLOG

It is not really appropriate to name names here, but since we just published a nice post with a hot video and an equally awesome photo gallery starring the always lovely Rockstar Energy Girls, we just thought that we it would be appropriate to put out something similar about the never disappointing Monster Energy Girls.

Given these energy drinks are quickly becoming some of the most lavish sponsors in the racing world - and we all know how important it is for the whole thing to get fresh money pumped in these days - we thought we just had to do our bit to keep them interested in motorcycling.

So here is another hot video and a nice bunch of images picturing some of the most fascinating umbrella girls, paddock girls and so on collected at various events around the world. As we said before, we definitely endorse this ongoing battle among beverages - the more the better for the sport actually - and if you are the sort of fan that pays attention to this kind of things, you should know that there’s some other competitor in this field that plays a major role in plenty of nice events out there and can count on its own army of smiling hostesses, so you better keep an eye on this space.

Dani Pedrosa and Marc Marquez 1-2 on last test day at Sepang

from TWOWHEELSBLOG

Dani Pedrosa regained the top spot on the timesheets on the final day of test at Sepang and he even managed to keep Marc Marquez at bay even if he cut testing short, and the rookie fired off a fast lap at the end of the day that pushed him into second and mere 0.081s from his team mate.

Out of the six days of testing at Sepang, Pedrosa lead five times out of six and his 2.00.100 (during the previous test) still remains the benchmark, even if rival Jorge Lorenzo came close on Wednesday.

Pedrosa continued to work on suspension set-up and during the morning session was second fastest in the wet.

“This morning we were able to try out the wet weather set-up; it was only for a short time, but nevertheless we were able to put in some laps with it. In the afternoon, with the track dry and with slicks, we continued working on suspension settings. Overall, it’s been a positive three days. Now we’re off to Austin, and this is going to be an interesting test for the team and for myself. We’ve never ridden there and it’s a new track.” commented Pedrosa.

Marquez showed off his speed with lightning fast lap but he gave his Repsol Honda mechanics a lot of work to do as he crashed two times and both times luckily escaped unscathed, as he continued to focus on electronics and set-up and picking up even more confidence with his RC213V.

“It’s been a good day, overall. In the morning we rode in the wet and I felt very good on the bike, even though I had a small crash. I clipped the white line and lost the front, but neither myself nor the bike were affected at all. When the track dried out we went back to our work on the electronics and with the bike setup -above all with the front. On the initial laps I didn’t feel completely comfortable with the front end and had another small crash at the hairpin when I was forcing it a bit too much. In the final hour we set the bike up the way we had been fastest at this test, and I think that we got a good time again with it. We can leave here feeling positive about how things went” said Marquez.

Honda and Yamaha will resume testing at the COTA circuit, in Texas in two weeks time.
