Review: MotoGP.com iPhone App (5* rating)

I have a (possibly ever-so slightly deserved) reputation as a bit of a geek / nerd / saddo when it comes to anything Mac or iPhone related. So, imagine my joy then, when I was pointed at a dedicated iPhone app from MotoGP.com

Let's face it, MotoGP and Dorna have been way more innovative, smart and genuinely rewarding in their approach to online delivery than F1 - and far better at doing something of genuine interest to punters.
And so perhaps this is no great surprise. Doesn't mean that it's not worth a bit of a rave though...
It's a thoroughly tasty piece of work from start to finish, playing both to their own strengths in content and data, and the iPhone's strengths in interface and usability.

The key to it of course is dynamic data - in this case, live timing with race lap, rider position, lap time, gap time, and top speed. And nice touches like rotating the iPhone into 'horizontal' position to get a full live timing view, and live commentary from the MotoGP crew as well.
The app also provides access to race results, championship results, latest news, rider profiles, competition calendars and schedules, and a huge photo gallery.
Aside from all the good functionality, it also has the MotoGP.com excellent branding DNA, and attention to detail, in buckets. It's one of the slickest looking apps I've seen. (*And I've seen more than enough to prove I should get out more...)

To be honest it's a steal at only £1.79 and certainly an invaluable addition to the tech tools of anyone who loves MotoGP and their gadgets.

For some bizarre reason MotoGP.com have disabled 'embedding' of their Youtube demo of the app - which is a real shame as it'd be nice to just plonk it on the page here and share it on other sites and blogs, but if you click on this link then you can watch it anyway...

Finally, if you need no further persuading then just click here to go directly to the app in iTunes...

Pere Tutusaus 2009 Grunge Desktop Wallpaper

Okay; I've finally got round to doing some proper "TuTu 09" desktop wallpapers.
I've made a real effort to do something that's good in a number of sizes and also something that stands up in its own right as a decent piece of graphic design.
It's based on a lovely action shot, courtesy of Gianni at Team Go Eleven PMS, and I've set it into a hot KTM orange kind of a grungescape (is that a word? it is now...)

Hope you like it - feel free to share and pass on as widely as you like so long as you credit this site :-)

Superstock 1000cc Round 2 Coming Up

Just a quick reminder - as if any of you Tutu fans should need reminding! - that it's Round 2 of the 2009 World Superstock 1000cc Championship this weekend at the glorious Assen circuit in the Netherlands. You can get official WSBK news etc on this link but of course, we'll aim to bring you all the news, results, stats and pictures up here on peretutusaus.net anyway so do keep checking in, or sign up to our RSS news feed.

Buena suerte Tutu!
And good luck Go Eleven!

Let's Hear It For The Crew!

As you'll know from our previous post we were kindly sent a bunch of photos from Round 1 of the World Superstock 1000 championship at Valencia by Gianni at Team Go Eleven. It occured to me that we should probably ensure that as well as highlighting Pere, we should also make sure that we acknowledge all the guys in the team that make everything happen.
So I've been in touch to ask for names and can now gladly spread credit around to the entire crew...


Above is the main photo and the main players here are, left to right: PierPaolo Cabutti - Team owner, Denis Sacchetti - Rider, Arrigo Sacchetti - Father of Denis, Giorgio Cantalupo - Team Manager, Gianni Ramello - Team President and owner.

In this photo (above) from the pre-season testing we've got Pere, far right, in the garage - but we should also mention the two guys in the middle of the picture; the left of the two is Alessandro Maiello, the mechanic for Denis Sacchetti, and the one to his right is Pere's mechanic Claudio Masson.

And in the above shot from the pitlane in Valencia we want to draw your attention to the guy in the orange KTM shirt standing in the centre of the shot, between the two bikes - this is mechanic Fabio Nodari.

Gianni - thanks very much for the info (grazie mille!) - and to all of you who work on the bikes of Pere and Denis, also a big thank you for everything you do. Best wishes and good luck to *all* of you, and I hope things keep getting better and better for you as you go through the season :-)

I hope all your great efforts will be rewarded.

Go Eleven PMS Photos From Valencia

BatiFans.com Announces RACECARD '09 Competition

Okay - a quick, cheeky bit of pimping if you don't mind... A sure sign that the fun's about to begin in MotoGP is the announcement of the annual BatiFans.com RACECARD Competition...
It's dead simple - for every 250cc race in 2009 you can enter your qualifying and race predictions for how Alvaro Bautista is going to do. You get 5 points for a correct qualy prediction and 10 points for a correct race result.
We keep an eye on the scores, and at the end of the season one lucky winner walks off with some great prizes, like a rare Alvaro Bautista photo-biography, a diecast model of his 2005 Seedorf Honda, and a superb documentary about Alvaro on DVD.
It's free to enter and open to all members of the BatiFans Forum and adds an extra bit of fun and excitement to each race weekend.

Just get clicking on the link to find out more about the RACECARD 2009 Competition...

Pere At Presentation Of Parc Motor Castellolí

Pere Tutusaus was amongst 30 riders and ex-riders attending the presentation of the Parc Motor Castellolí, some 60km from Barcelona. The 4.144km circuit with its combination of curves, drops and inclines and bridge have already made it a renowned circuit that on March the 13th, 14th and 15th stages the first round of the Campeonato Mediterráneo de Velocidad.
He's in the middle of the picture above - off to the right a little - amidst a bunch of other well-known and less-known faces.

What's Pere On In 2009?

...Basically something like this. (This is KTM's RC8)

Hopefully Go Eleven PMS will send us pictures as soon as they become available of presentations, tests etc as we head into the season; but for now this is pretty much the kind of 1000cc machinery that Tutu's going to be on this season.

Can't wait!

Hope it's useful :-)

OFFTOPIC: www.elcantodelloco.co.uk

Okay, how often do I pimp other sites on here? No, not often at all... exactly.
Which is why I feel entitled to make an exception today.
I've just launched a new website and want to make sure I pimp it as far and wide as possible; it's www.elcantodelloco.co.uk - an El Canto Del Loco fansite in English which aims to do a pretty similar job to this site, in that it exists to spread the word about another fantastic Spanish phenomenon to people outside of Spain and to pass on news and info in the English language.
If you or anyone you know likes ECDL or is curious then please do point your browser at the site to keep up with the band and their activities (especially if they ever include activities in the UK!)

Already the site includes info on all their albums; De personas a personas, Personas, Arriba el telón, Zapatillas, Estados de ánimo, A contracorriente, and El Canto del Loco - plus videoclips, desktop wallpaper, weblinks, news on record sales and info on a cool introductory El Canto Del Loco iMix you can grab from iTunes.

Superstock News For 2009

We have received news that 2009 Pere Tutusaus will run in The World Superstock 1000 FIM Cup with Team Goeleven Pms with the official KTM RC8 2009. He will probably be running as number 111.
It was a surprise to get this information, and though we're delighted to hear it, it does raise questions over whether this means that his appearance on the 2009 125cc MotoGP listings for Matteoni is now out of the window...?

Anyway - that he is racing at World Championship level in 2009 is great news and we look forward to supporting him and following him; and we'll try and get more information on exactly what other competitions he may be involved in.

EDIT: (19_01_09) - Thanks to further word from Team Goeleven Pms, I can confirm that Pere will *not* be racing for Matteoni in the MotoGP 125cc series.

Pere Tutusaus #30 Desktop Icons For Windows PCs

I've now finished the funky set of desktop icons for Windows, featuring Pere's #30 logo and cute black cat mascot.
They're great for replacing dull and boring 'standard' folder, document and file icons - and will look brilliant at any scaling with their 3D look and alpha-channel drop shadows and other stylings.
If you run a Windows PC then just click here to download the icon pack and I hope you get loads of pleasure from them.

Enjoy :-)
