El gran premio de San Marino se disputará en el circuito de Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, ubicado en la región de Emilia-Romaña, Italia. Este circuito tiene una longitud de 4.226 km, además que pasee un total de 16 curvas, 10 curvas son a la derecha y 6 a la izquierda. A ser la mayoría de las curvas hacia la derecha, los pilotos deberán cuidar las llantas, ya que el desgaste en el flanco derecho es mayor, ya que en la la vuelta allí es donde la moto tiene un apoyo más recurrente. Otra cualidad de este trazado son las largas rectas donde las Ducati tienen una ventaja con respecto a sus rivales, donde incluso Yamaha tiene hasta 10 km/h menos en las rectas. De las curvas 10 a la 13 hay una serie de rectas que son propicias para los adelantamientos, al igual que la recta principal. Pero aun así hay otros sitios más para poder pasar, los pilotos siempre analizan esto en las prácticas y en las carreras, van observando donde sus rivales son rápidos y donde son más lentos para atacarlo en este punto.

El piloto con mayor victoria en San Marino en el campeonato es Marc Márquez, con 6 victorias entre MotoGP, Moto2 y Moto3, donde en la categoría reina tiene 3, empatado con Jorge Lorenzo y Valentino Rossi. El Ganador de las últimas dos ediciones en 2021 y 2022 fue Pecco Bagnaia, así que el italiano es el claro favorito para este fin de semana, pero veremos si la caída en Cataluña no lo ha afectado físicamente, que haga que este deba cuidarse más. En cuanto a equipos, Honda es que ha ganado la mayor cantidad de veces con 19, seguido con Yamaha con 14. La carrera de San Marino será a 27 vueltas, mientras que la carrera corta debe ser a trece giro, ya que normalmente en la carrera sprint se da la mitad de las vueltas que el evento principal.

This weekend the motorsport action continues with two very important races. The MotoGP world championship runs this Sunday September 10, 2023 the Grand Prix of San Marino, second race in consecutive weeks, this being the 12th date of 20 of the current season, a championship that is increasingly dominated by the Ducati brand, but of this and much more I will tell you later. On the other hand we have the NASCAR Cup Series, which this week, specifically on Sunday, will be the second race of the round of 16 in the intermediate oval of Kansas, an event where another driver will want to secure his pass to the next round of these playoffs, instance where we will know who will be the champion of the category.


The MotoGP championship is becoming more and more open, the Ducati brand is dominating, it is not leaving for anyone, something that in the last two years has made the premier class of motorcycling a little boring and the main reason is due to the development in the aerodynamic part by the Italian brand. Since MotoGP implemented more aerodynamic development the category has become tedious, the races very uneven, something we usually see a lot in F1, something that has received a lot of criticism from the fans. The only non-Ducati rider to have won at least one race this season is Brad Binder, in the short race of the Spanish Grand Prix in Jerez de la Frontera, the other 21 competitions (between sprint and main races) have been won by a rider with a Ducati bike, something that is really alarming.


An excellent news was that for this San Marino Grand Prix Pecco Bagnaia, who suffered a crash in the last race in Catalonia last week, being left in the middle of the track and touched on his legs by another rider, something that caused much terror, but luckily he was unharmed and received medical clearance to participate this week. And remember that Pecco is the current championship leader with 260 points, over a Jorge Martin who has a disadvantage of 50 points with Pecco. On the other hand Marco Bezzecchi is third with 189 points. Clearly Francesco is on Sunday this 2023 MotoGP championship, despite having suffered crashes in important races at the beginning of the campaign, but he has been able to recover and I believe that in San Marino he will be one of the favorites to win and be among the first places in each of the sessions.


The only team that I see as being able to give a fight to the Ducati, either the official team, Pramac, Aprilia or other satellite teams, is KTM, who have put some excitement to the championship, especially the South African Brad Binder. The last races have seen some improvement in the team of the brand of the three tuning forks, Yamaha, with the seventh place of Fabio Quartararo in Catalonia last Sunday, but they are not yet to fight the point and a podium in San Marino will be very motivating for them, it will be a boost for the development of next year's bike. Honda is still in the abyss, they can't find the maximum performance of the bike and the reference rider Marc Marquez has had multiple crashes throughout the year, he has gone down recurrently. I think Honda is already thinking about the 2024 bike, but what better to test things in San Marino.


The San Marino Grand Prix will be held at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli, located in the region of Emilia-Romagna, Italy. This circuit has a length of 4.226 km, and it has a total of 16 turns, 10 right turns and 6 left turns. As most of the curves are to the right, the pilots will have to take care of the tires, since the wear on the right flank is greater, since in the turn it is there where the motorcycle has a more recurrent support. Another quality of this track is the long straights where the Ducati have an advantage over their rivals, where even Yamaha has up to 10 km/h less on the straights. From turns 10 to 13 there is a series of straights that are conducive to overtaking, as is the main straight. But even so there are other places to pass, the riders always analyze this in practice and in the races, observing where their rivals are fast and where they are slower to attack at this point.


The rider with the most victories in San Marino in the championship is Marc Marquez, with 6 victories between MotoGP, Moto2 and Moto3, where in the premier class he has 3, tied with Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi. The winner of the last two editions in 2021 and 2022 was Pecco Bagnaia, so the Italian is the clear favorite for this weekend, but we will see if the fall in Catalonia has not affected him physically, which will make him take more care of himself. In terms of teams, Honda has won the most times with 19, followed by Yamaha with 14. The San Marino race will be 27 laps, while the sprint race should be thirteen laps, as normally the sprint race is half as many laps as the main event.

La semana pasada se disputó lo que fue la primera carrera de tres de la ronda de 16 de los playoffs de la serie de la copa NASCAR en Darlington, con triunfo para Kyle Larson, con la cual aseguró su pase para la ronda de 12. Ahora bien, esta semana la lucha continúa esta semana en Kansas, por seguir avanzando hasta llegar a la ronda final por el campeonato. Los pilotos que están quedando eliminados hasta el momento son Bubba Wallace, Kevin Harvick, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. y Michael McDowell, donde los primeros tres estan afuera por apenas 1, 2 y 4 puntos respectivamente, Michael si está más atrás con -19 puntos de Christopher Bell quien ocupa la posición 12 hasta el momento. Así llegan los pilotos para Kansas, el único asegurado es Larson, los demás deben seguir peleando en esta competencia y en la siguiente.

Esta es la segunda vez que la serie de la copa NASCAR visita el óvalo de Kansas Speedway, cuando en el mes de corrieron también, con triunfo para Denny Hamlin, quien la semana pasada en la Dama de Negro tuvo una gran carrera en los dos primeros segmentos pero un error en una de las paradas, lo relegó, lo que evitó que peleará por la victoria de la carrera. Sin lugar a dudas Hamlin será uno de los favoritos para esta carrera, ya que de los pilotos activos es que tiene la mayor cantidad de victorias en Kansas con 4, además que Kyle Larson es otro de los favoritos, ya que podrá correr relajado, incluso puede arriesgar más porque su pase ya está asegurado. Ahora bien el ganador del año 2022 en esta misma época fue Bubba Wallace, piloto que está quedando fuera de los playoffs hasta el momento, pero ciertamente tendrá una oportunidad de avanzar y que mejor si emula el resultado del año pasado. La pole fue Tyler Reddick.

Kansas Speedway es óvalo intermedio ya que su longitud es de 1.5 millas. El mismo posee un total de 4 curvas, con un peralte progresivo de entre 17 y 20 grados de inclinación, mientras que el tri-óvalo donde se encuentra la recta principal (línea de meta) tiene un peralte progresivo de 9 a 11 grados. Por otro lado tenemos la recta posterior que su inclinación es de tan solo 5°. Si quieres conocer más de esta pista, de historia, estadísticas y más, los invito a visitar mi reseña sobre la primera carrera de este año en Kansas. Aquí les dejo el enlance .

Para este fin de semana y como es habitual (excepto en los súper Speedwway que no hay práctica) tendremos la única práctica libre de 45 minutos donde los pilotos y equipos deben trabajar en la puesta a punto de su coche, además de estudiar el desgaste de las llantas, aunque esta no es tanta ya que la pista fue re pavimentada algunos años atrás, por lo cual degradación no es tan alto, incluso en las curvas se toman casi que a fondo, todo depende de cuan nueva o no sean las llantas. Esta práctica será el sábado 09 de Septiembre, mientras que al terminar esta, rápidamente inicia la clasificación, con las dos rondas habituales, en cada una de ellas participan la mitad de los inscritos y los 5 mejores tiempos de cada grupo avanzan a la ronda final. La carrera es el domingo 10 de Septiembre a las 3:00pm ET de los Estados Unidos, con un total de 267 vueltas, para las 400 millas del evento. Pero estas vueltas totales están divididas en tres segmentos (80-85-102), lo cual otorgan puntos extras que son vitales para seguir con la lucha del campeonato.

Last week was the first race of three in the round of 16 of the NASCAR Cup Series playoffs at Darlington, with Kyle Larson winning and securing his ticket to the round of 12. Now, the fight continues this week at Kansas, to continue advancing to the final round for the championship. The drivers who are being eliminated so far are Bubba Wallace, Kevin Harvick, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Michael McDowell, where the first three are out by just 1, 2 and 4 points respectively, Michael is further back with -19 points from Christopher Bell who is 12th so far. This is how the drivers arrive to Kansas, the only secured driver is Larson, the rest must continue fighting in this competition and in the next one.


This is the second time that the NASCAR Cup Series visits the Kansas Speedway oval, when in the month of November they also raced, with triumph for Denny Hamlin, who last week in the Lady in Black had a great race in the first two segments but a mistake in one of the stops, relegated him, which prevented him from fighting for the victory of the race. Undoubtedly Hamlin will be one of the favorites for this race, since of the active drivers he has the most victories in Kansas with 4, besides Kyle Larson is another favorite, since he will be able to run relaxed, he can even risk more because his pass is already assured. Now the winner of the year 2022 at this same time was Bubba Wallace, a driver who is being left out of the playoffs so far, but certainly will have a chance to advance and what better if he emulates last year's result. The pole was Tyler Reddick.


Kansas Speedway is an intermediate oval since its length is 1.5 miles. It has a total of 4 curves, with a progressive bank of between 17 and 20 degrees, while the tri-oval where the main straight (finish line) is located has a progressive bank of 9 to 11 degrees. On the other hand we have the back line that its inclination is only 5 °. If you want to know more about this track, history, statistics and more, I invite you to visit my review of the first race this year in Kansas. Here is the link .


For this weekend and as usual (except in the Super Speedway where there is no practice) we will have the only free practice of 45 minutes where drivers and teams must work on the tuning of their car, in addition to study the wear of the tires, although this is not so much because the track was re-paved some years ago, so degradation is not so high, even in the curves are taken almost flat out, it all depends on how new or not the tires are. This practice will be on Saturday September 09, while at the end of this, quickly begins the qualifying, with the usual two rounds, in each of them participate half of the registered and the 5 best times of each group advance to the final round. The race is on Sunday, September 10 at 3:00pm ET in the United States, with a total of 267 laps, for the 400 miles of the event. But these total laps are divided into three segments (80-85-102), which award extra points that are vital to continue the fight for the championship.
