VALENCIA SPAIN Pro Ride Motorsports, an Italian company specialized in racing technology, has a complete racing structure that for the 2011 season of the World Moto2 Championship was the structure behind the Team MZ Moto2. This structure included Max Neukirchner bike and staff and almost all his technical sponsors, which are Pro Ride’s supporters. MZ was in charge of the bike and the staff of Anthony West, but we were also available to give him any support in case of a request from MZ direction. In order to expand our business, we would like to present to the entire media our company and our racing services and for that we will be presented at the EICMA show in Milan from the 9th to the 13th of November, with Max Neukirchner’s bike at the Ognibene stand (hall 6, stand H39) and also at the MotoLive paddock (hall 22) with our racing structure. Pro Ride Motorsports ends the 2011 season with a positive result of its first year at Moto2 World Championship, which was a learning year for both rider and staff. Neukirchner found himself very confident with the Eng. Marco Nicotari technical management and also the Pro Ride staff found in Max the rider we had been looking for. The technical development we made with FTR was a great contribution to Pro Ride itself that leaves the season with a bigger background and all the data that can allow us to make a more competitive season in 2012. Max’s bike was the only one that made the entire championship with the 2010 chassis and even facing some problems that strongly disturbed the entire’s staff (including the rider) performance, Max made points at the 9 from 11 of the races that he finished. Besides our technical package were an unique combination at the Moto2 paddock (Nissin brakes, Giannelli silencers, Sunstar sprockets, Showa suspension, DID chains, Valter Moto special components, GB racing special parts and Titax levers) and each race, each new track, each different setting were made with the close assistance of all these brands, and there are certainly a lot to be done for the winter, aiming the 2012 season. And having the support direct from the factories were one step further to reach our aims. We will keep this package for 2012, still being the Moto2 with Japanese soul, Italian heart and English spine. And of course, a German rider. We would like to thank to all our partners, not only the ones mentioned above, but also Mechanix, Mentani, Beta and Motorex, that believed on us for this amazing and beautiful challenge that is racing. We invite you all to come to see us at the EICMA show, where we can personally thank each one personally for a so productive year. Eng. Nicotari declares after the last race in Valencia: “Max is not a common rider, he is a fighter with a heart. We grew up together this season, after each point, after each problem solved, and also after each lost battle. We became partners and friends. I was extremely happy to work with him this year and I hope that we left a seed on each track we have been together and next year I really want a good harvest in 2012! What he did today here in Valencia, after all the problems we lived the last rounds and during the season, was the motivation we needed to restart. I have many plans for the new bike and also for our company itself and I look forward the winter tests.” Max Neukirchner: “I found at Pro Ride a safe place, where I could just trust my staff and open the gas. Marco is a great engineer and I am sure that next season we can do a lot together. Making a good result here in Valencia today was a matter of honor to me. It was a hard race, of course I wanted much more, but we found the way and I think that with the experience of this season we can make a better 2012!” Neukirchner will be at the Eicma Show on Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th, accomplishing the following schedule: Saturday 12/11/11: 16h – Autograph session at Ognibene stand Sunday 13/11/11: 12h15 12h25 Moto Live MZ Moto2 bike will make a lap at the track on Moto Live arena followed by an interview with the rider.
