Jorge Lorenzo Won Portuguese GP
Jorge Lorenzo finished fastest and won Portugal MotoGP while Casey Stoner produced a stunning comeback ride to finish second. Starting the race from pole position, Lorenzo regain the lead after losing it to Dani Pedrosa and was unchallenged to the flag. Lorenzo's victory reduces the gap to championship leader Valentino Rossi's points to 18 points. The Italian could only finish fourth.

Stoner, who has missed the last three races due to an illness, was second despite breaking a foot rest. The Australian has spent the last two months back home undergoing tests after complaining of exhaustion and has been unable to train for five months.
"I had so many critics, saying that it was all in my head," the 23-year-old Ducati rider said. "I never felt so bad in my life. To come back like this is a really good start for us. I had the strength to overtake people and I was ready for the fight."
Lorenzo, however, never looked in trouble after getting back past Pedrosa early on. It is the Spaniard's fourth victory of the season and reduces Rossi's lead with just three races of the season to go.


"I was very confident before the race," said the Fiat Yamaha rider. "I was fastest in every practice session. It's fantastic and is almost the perfect race."

vario modif
Kalau aliran modifikasinya, ya sudah biasa. Desain knalpot model rangkap seperti Harley, ini sudah ada yang pakai. Begitu juga rumah CVT yang dimelarkan, pun sudah ada yang melakoninya.
Lantas dari sisi mana yang jadi terobosan? Perhatikan pemakaian velg depan dan belakang. Di sini, Antonius ingin kasih unjuk, kalau dengan ukuran yang berbeda jauh, motor masih bisa melaju dengan aman dan enak. Untuk itu, velg depan disematkan ukuran 14 inci, sedangkan belakang 20 inci.
Untuk menjejalkan roda belakang berdiameter sebesar itu tentu butuh banyak rombakan. Di antaranya memundurkan sumbu roda sampai 20 cm dan dianggap Anton—sapaan akrab Antonius—sebagai ukuran minimal dan ban tidak ngesrot.
Memasang velg mobil, ada beberapa trik. Seperti saat pasang teromol asli, punya Vario dikawinkan dengan bagian tengah velg mobil yang diikat dengan 4 baut ukuran 12, tanpa ada pengelasan sama sekali.
Bisa ditebak, roda yang superbesar pasti mentok pada belakang mesin. Solusinya, rumah CVT dipanjangkan. "Caranya, rumah CVT dipotong lantas ditambah daging aluminium 10 cm dan dilas argon. Tebal aluminium 5 mm," ungkap Anton. Dengan begitu, ia juga mengatakan, v-belt harus diganti dengan yang lebih panjang melalui pemakaian timing belt mobil atau dari alat berat.
Untuk pemakaian velg besar, enggak cuma CVT dan sumbu roda yang dimodifikasi. Bagian tertentu di bodi juga ada yang terkena modifikasi. Seperti tangki bensin, Anton harus membuat yang baru, berkapasitas 2,5 liter, terbuat dari pelat besi 2 mm. Posisinya digeser ke atas boks CVT.
