A newspaper or magazine that deals with a particular subject or professional activity.

SBK Journal | Vol. 20.01 Welcome to issue one of SBK Journal for 2020.

At SBK Journal we took a bit of a break over the winter. In that time there were discussions about making it a print magazine with expanded content but we haven’t been able to make it work. Some other media outlets have also sprung up with similar ideas and myself and the small happy band of contributors decided it was time to reflect on the year past, how the magazine looks and how we move forward in 2020.

If you have joined along the way in 2019 you will notice a few changes to the format and layout over the coming months. The focus of the magazine will continue to be Superbike racing but it will return to our founding principle of publishing the best photography of the sport. At SBK Journal we believe in the saying - ‘a picture paints a thousand words’ Thank you again for coming by and we hope you enjoy another season of SBK Journal.

Making a Champion With five manufacturers titles and six riders’ titles since 2012, what has made Kawasaki Racing Team so successful?

Words and Pictures: Graeme Brown

American Scott Russell was the first rider to win the Superbike World Championship for Kawasaki in 1993.

It was a further 20 years before they would repeat that success with Tom Sykes in 2013.

Russell himself would come second in the championship the following year, in ‘94, and in 1995 Anthony Gobert was still winning on the Muzzy Kawasaki ZX-7R but as Ducati and Honda began to dominate the series wins became few and far between.

It was down to Aaron Slight, Akira Yanagawa and Hitoyasu Izutuzu to take the occassional laurels on the venerable ZX-7R against the 1000cc twins of Ducati, and, later on, Honda. A rare win in the wet at Assen for Chris Walker in 2006 was the only glory for Kawasaki in a 14 year period, with the Ninja ZX-10R, until Tom Sykes won at Nurburgring in 2011. By that time Kawasaki had raced for six years in MotoGP and shifted focus back to the WorldSBK championship.

A new ZX-10R in 2010 and a change of team from Paul Bird Motorsport to Provec Racing for the 2012 season transformed the fortunes of the Japanese manufacturer and they have dominated the championship since.

So how did the perennial also rans come to dominate in such a way. We asked four key people for their thoughts: Ichiro Yoda, KRT Senior Engineer; Guim Roda, Team Manager; Silvia Sanchez, Team Co-ordinator and Alvar Garriga, Technical Manager.

“The SBK Championship is based on the street bikes and from a technical point is quite different from what Kawasaki did in MotoGP. We are using the Pirelli tyre and let’s say Pirelli have a different philosophy to the tyre construction to the other manufacturers so we have to think more about the combination between the Pirelli tyre and the machine. When I came to this championship this was the first thing for me to understand and is still an important thing to understand. I was thinking about a big change for the bike to bring the ZX-10R to a championship winning machine and this takes some time.

When I came to Kawasaki in SBK in 2009 the concept of the bike was for the street. In 2010 Kawasaki made a new Ninja ZX-10R. At this time there was also a change to the concept of the bike, the philosophy of the new bike was more for the track and there was a change to both the engine and the chassis, but the bigger change was to the engine. This chassis is still the base on this current machine so at the moment the biggest change we have is in the engine.

The original package of the bike was good but the philosophy was different in the beginning, Kawasaki was looking for stability with the machine but many other manufacturers were looking for agility.

We started to improve in 2010 and 2011 and then Kawasaki changed to Provec Racing for the Superbike team. The big difference was that Provec completely follows Kawasaki’s wishes. Provec always had a good potential and Guim likes to learn quickly but they respect the wishes of Kawasaki.

Every year we have a change in the regulations, sometimes a big change, but we are learning throughout the year with something new so this is the essence of the next step. There is still some of the old technical knowledge that Kawasaki have from MotoGP that we can use but there can still be something we don’t know and through the year understand something new in some area and with this we always come to do a good job.

Jonathan himself is improving a lot, improving year by year and this is a big thing for us. Maybe he likes some character in the machine one year but next year he needs to change. He changes again completely his style. He is now the biggest factor in the success. If the rider is happy this is the most important thing.

For the future we know we have some strong points but we also know our weak points and we know we have to make sure that we change and improve through the year.

The best moments for me are Tom Sykes winning the first championship but also Jonathan winning the first time in 2015. But now every year the same thing happens but also last year Kawasaki took first, second and third on the podium two times so this was a very happy time for me.”

Ichiro Yoda, Australia, February 2020

“It is more that we have the coincidence to be in the right place at the right time. I would say that most of the big companies, and great people that make a big success in the world, if they are honest, will admit that it is a consequence of situations that bring them to the place. You need to understand in each moment what needs to be done and how to take always the best decision.

We always try to understand the rider, this makes a difference, we try always to work in a way that takes the best from the rider, this is a very important point. The second point is that we always have to make the investment in what is needed to bring the best from the rider and the team. Even when we didn’t have the budget, we would borrow from the bank because of course money is very important in racing but you need to use it in a good way. Sometimes you need to sacrifice some personal benefits to always invest as it is something that never stops consuming. If you need this or that, or the rider asks for something, you cannot limit this potential if there are not enough funds available.

The important point sometimes is not how good the mechanic is by them self but how good they are working together with others. So this is the tacit knowledge, the kind of knowledge the group of people is able to develop and is more than the knowledge of one single person. It is very important how the team is connected, how the team works together. This makes a big difference, instead if having many genius, but independent, people.

Apart from that we have some very good people in the team. We have good people and a good organization that works together in a correct way. This makes things work automatically many times so we become well adapted to the race situation.

There are too many good moments to mention one. Honestly sometimes I feel that every weekend is the best moment but one was in 2016 when we were first and second in the championship.

Because the team success is complete. In some teams you have a rider that can win and one not so successful but in my position as a team manager when we have both riders that have the option to win this is very satisfying and makes me proud.

It does make it more complex to manage but it is one of the nicest moments when you see both of the riders fighting to win.

Sometimes Jonathan makes the difference, not just winning, but when he shows the commitment and determination, like the crash with Chaz Davies in Misano in 2018 or last year again in Misano when he went down and taking the bike and still finishing, so these moments make us proud and we need to take this motivation and transmit it to the rider and the team. When we see the rider grow up in this way it makes us proud and we give them a lot of support to improve even more. When the rider takes all the input and tries to do their best those nice moment gives you the sense that all the effort we make as a team it makes everything worthwhile.�

Guim Roda, Australia, February 2020

“When I started full time with the team in the Supersport championship we had a small number of staff, maybe 15 maximum, and the mechanics used to sleep in the trucks at the race track. Now we have between 30 and 40 and it is a full time role coordinating everything for all of the staff and the riders. This is why the team now has Albert and Eva to take over some of the jobs I used to do. I am booking over 500 flights a year for all the races, tests and the dealer events that the riders do and nearly the same amount of hotel rooms. This is made complicated by the fact that we have staff coming from different parts of Spain, from the Netherlands, from Italy and Japan, and also the riders coming from the UK. At some of the European races the race trucks don’t come back to the workshop so I have to arrange travel for the truck drivers to get to the next circuit and fly home a few days later than everyone else, then to fly to the next race with the team. Not everyone flies at the same time though. We have a small group that travels with the hospitality crew at the start of a race week and the rest of the team will travel on a Wednesday. After this the riders and the technical staff from Japan will arrive on a Thursday. It is a very big job to co-ordinate all the flights, hotel and rental car bookings to make sure everything happens at the correct time. For sure this job is never boring.”

Silvia Sanchez, Australia, February 2020

“At Provec Racing we stared with Raul and Ramon as a mechanics and Joan as a rider, Guim sometimes came to the races, and me. We did everything ourselves. The first year we came only with one bike and two sets of fairings.

We started in 2005 in the Spanish championship for two years but in 2005 we went to Imola to make a wildcard with our team and in 2006 we went to Imola again but as part of an Italian Team – CRS – because the championship was full of teams and we had to go with another team. Then in 2007 we arrived here (in World Supersport).

In the beginning I made everything, I booked the flights, the hotels, I drove the van, I spoke to everyone to find parts, I did the telemetry the suspension, everything, because there was no help, nothing.

From Supersport when we arrived with Kawasaki we got more people in the team, one for telemetry, one engine guy, one suspension guy and that made things a bit easier for me. We didn’t have a co-ordinator but we had Sivia and Beia from Disproject giving support in the workshop and my role changed to more looking after the logistics for the technical side of the team Now I only deal with all the technical suppliers and with KHI for this side of the team.

We make two types of freight. One goes by boat with the structure for the pit box, the tool boxes and trolleys. We have three sets of this. Two are always moving, going by boat to the overseas races and one is in the truck going to the European races. For these races in Australia and Qatar we sent the freight by boat in December.

Then we make the freight with the flight where we put all the bikes and spare parts. For this we have a 5000kg allowance. Some teams have more but because we send a lot by sea we can take less with the flight. For the race in Australia we took 10 engines, four for the test and six for the race weekend. With all the other spares we can replace three to four complete bikes on a weekend plus we have around 12 sets of fairings if the riders have a small crash. This will be enough for the team for Australia and Qatar.

Obviously if I have a problem I can orginise to send something directly to Qatar from the workshop When we started we were a small private team and always had to be careful with the budget so we travelled with the minimum number of parts we could. Now we are a factory team and it is not possible to be without something, even the smallest thing.”

Jake

GAGNE Words: Tim Allen Pictures: Brian J Nelson/Moto America, GeeBee Images, Red Bull Content Pool

After a frustrating year on the Red Bull Ten Kate Honda in WorldSBK, Jake Gagne moved back to the MotoAmerica championship in 2019 with Scheibe Racing, riding their BMW S1000RR. The year started on the operating table however, and in the end things didn’t live up to expectations. 2020 will see yet another change of team and machinery moving to the Monster Energy/Attack Performance Yamaha but change is something that the young Californian is used to.

From an early point in his career, learning, gaining experience and getting comfortable has always been a top priority for Gagne. “My first-year road racing was the US Rookies Cup in 2008. I then got picked for the European Red Bull Rookies series [Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup] and did two years over there. For me as a kid, especially since it was my second- and third-year road racing, I felt like I was sort of thrown in the deep end. There was a lot of good competition and riders, being at those races with those bikes was really cool. It was a really challenging first couple of years of racing. It turned out really well and led to some amazing opportunities.”

Gagne won the Red Bull MotoGP Rookies Cup in 2010 and would wild card in a couple of Moto2 races the following season but like fellow countryman J.D.Beach, who won the series two years previously, the opportunities for the US riders to progress in the Grand Prix paddock seems to be non-existent.

Competitors and other winners in the Rookies Cup like Jakob Kornfeil, Danny Kent, Lorenzo Baldassarri all managed to carve out a decent career in the MotoGP paddock but for Gagne his focus had to turn to other options.

Red Bull were a constant source of support however and a couple of wildcard rides in the British Superbike Championship in 2014 was another destination on Gagne’s development map. Ultimately, however, Gagne had to return to the US and the MotoAmerica championship. He was crowned Superstock1000 winner in 2015 and raced with the Broasters Honda squad in the Superbike class in 2016 and ‘17. Through 2017 the opportunity came to stand in for Leon Camier in the Red Bull Ten Kate Honda WorldSBK squad and that led to a full time ride with the Dutch based team the following year, After spending the 2018 season aboard the Ten Kate Honda in WorldSBK, Gagne found himself at the end of the season without a team, suffering from a serious injury and needing to find new options if he was to continue racing.

“For sure it was a difficult one. I had to get surgery in early January 2019, I had to get plates and screw in my tibia and fibula, both sides. It was 3 months of non-weight bearing on the leg. Not the way you want to start off the year, you know. I was able to work out that deal with Steve [Scheibe] and was pumped about being back in MotoAmerica. I didn’t really test at all coming into the first race, I was still really feeling pretty sore for the first couple of races. I could barely walk. I think I didn’t start walking until a couple weeks before that first race. The first couple of races I could get on that thing but I didn’t feel good, especially if it gave me a bump or shake. The first couple of races were about taking it pretty darn easy.”

Being back on American soil, racing familiar tracks and always seeing familiar faces in the paddock helped Gagne transition back to MotoAmerica.

“So, after riding World Superbike for a year, and the travel, and unfamiliarity with the tracks, it was nice to have friends and family at home. It was refreshing and definitely easier in ways, Even last year with the rough start we had it was a little less stress than the year before. I started enjoying racing more than I had.

We made a ton of progress. As I felt better a couple rounds in, we were getting more races in and more sessions. We changed some electronic stuff and got that working better throughout the year and got the chassis working better pretty much every weekend. Just learning more what the chassis likes, what that bike likes and what I like with it. It’s a learning process with any new team and new bike. By the end of the year we were getting a lot closer to the front, having some good races. After a rough start with me, we were running pretty good there at the end” Gagne finished eight in the end of season standings with no podium appearances and many occasions where he did not finish the race. But, even through all the adversity early in the season, Jake and the team felt progress was being made with the BMW. 2019 could be chalked up as a massive learning experience.

Fully healed from the injuries that hampered him in 2019, things have changed once again for 2020. Gagne has moved to the Yamaha factory-supported Monster Energy/Attack Performance team after the departure of Garrett Gerloff to the Superbike World Championship and will partner Cameron Beaubier on the new 2020 Yamaha R1. The switch was an unexpected surprise, one that has him excited.

“So, after the last round I was still planning on riding with Scheibe. At that point nothing was really going on so I figured that would be the deal. Just a couple weeks after the last race I got a call from Keith McCarty of Yamaha and he said that Garrett [Gerloff] was going to most likely go over to race in World Superbike and sign a Yamaha deal over there. He asked if I wanted to be there [with Monster Energy/ Attack Performance Yamaha]. I said yeah of course. It would be a dream come true. I really couldn’t be more stoked.”

With his experience in WorldSBK in his back pocket, his familiarity with the MotoAmerica series, and being back to full-strength, Gagne is excited to see what he can do on the Yamaha R1 and can’t wait for the 2020 season to start.

“It’s an amazing bike. For me it just felt like a little more nimble, agile as compared to the BMW. The motor’s really, really strong. I know Yamaha and Attack Performance are working on a couple new things to make the bike better and better, even from last year. To me it’s always just been a really friendly bike to ride. It does everything really well and is comfortable.”

Gagne went further to explain how, in his experience, racing in MotoAmerica stacks up against what he saw in WorldSBK. “As far as the rules and specs go, a lot is really similar. But with the bikes, when I was riding Honda the bike was completely different than what we were racing in MotoAmerica. Those guys in World Superbike had a lot more resources, more money. A little more of the trick stuff. Getting ready to ride the R1 this season, I know it’s not really a lot different than what they’re riding over there [in WorldSBK]. I’d say the tyres are the number one biggest difference for sure.”

Coming into the 2020 MotoAmerica Superbike season, the competition continues to be high and there are a number of riders capable of winning on any given weekend. The grid remains strong, with a long list of accomplished racers. Where does Gagne see himself and who does he tip for top honors this year?

“Obviously, I know I’m on a championship winning bike and teammates with the 4-time superbike champion. My goal is to try to win races and be right there in the hunt. Be consistent and smooth. I know there’s going to be a lot of stiff competition and going up against a couple superbike champions. But that’s what I hope to do, I plan on being right up there with those guys.

Obviously, Cam [Beaubier] would be my number one. I don’t know what’s going to happen with Toni [Elias], there’s been some changes with the Suzuki team [Elias just signed with Suzuki factory-backed Team Hammer in mid-January]. There are so many good superbike riders out there. We’ve got Toni, we’ve got [Mathew] Scholtz on the Westby bike. They’re only going to get stronger and stronger.”

MotoAmerica has come a long way in the 5 years since former world champion Wayne Rainey and the KRAVE team took over the series. But, there’s a long way to go to attract new fans to the sport and get back to the popularity of where things stood in American superbike racing’s heyday of the late 1980s and 1990s.

There are positive signs that things are moving in the right direction. In December, MotoAmerica announced that television ratings, streaming numbers, social media numbers and race attendance grew at unprecedented levels in 2019. Television viewership was up over 130-percent with the switch from beIN Sports to Fox Sports and NBC Sports Network. Their larger exposure being credited with much of that increase. Attendance at nine of the 10 rounds increased as well. Gagne is among those that sees the future as nothing but positive.

“I think it’s huge. There’s a lot of kids coming through. Doing what they’re doing with the TV coverage, getting a lot of people being able to see it live. Obviously, for the rider, the teams and especially the sponsors. Getting that coverage, being able to get people to watch the racing. They’ve been doing so great with the TV package; it’s getting stronger and stronger. Getting more people there at the races, I know they [MotoAmerica] just had record turnout for the races last season. Just keep growing on that success and getting the people out there.”

MotoAmerica will once again run 10 rounds across the United States and has added two new venues for 2020. The series will visit The Ridge Motorsports Park in late June and the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway in August. The move has sparked nothing but positive reaction from many fans and the riders, including Gagne.

“Yes, I’m excited for Indy for sure. We went there in MotoAmerica before, so I’ve been there a couple times. I think it’s a cool, awesome place to have a race. Even being inside the oval, with a little less room, I think it’s still a pretty cool, fun track. I’m excited to go to the Ridge too. It’s actually a really cool track, up in the mountains with lots of elevation, like pretty tricky, pretty cool. I’m excited. I think it’s going to be fun to race there. It’s going to be fun going back to some different tracks.”

The 2020 season promises to be another hotly contested championship with a number of experienced riders capable of winning on any given weekend. MotoAmerica is expected to kick off its season on April 3, 2020 at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas alongside the American MotoGP round. The current Coronavirus crisis has put that event in doubt, however, and at this stage, like all major sporting championship events the situation is changing all the time. As we have seen, change is nothing new for Gagne and regardless of when the green light is given for the red lights to go out, you can be sure he will be ready for the challenge.
