Vladimir Leonov, the Russian pilot representing Viessmann Kiefer Racing, had a great surprise for not only all his fans, but also the team itself, which acts as his sponsor and supports him during his international MotoGP 2009 international tour. On his birthday, Vladimir came in 15th and earned his first well-deserved “1” point. 

On Saturday, April 25, during the test ride when the circuit was only beginning to dry after the rain, Vladimir Leonov showed the 18th best result (2:10.277) - ending less than 2.5 seconds behind the winner. A total of 23 main pilots plus two local Japanese riders participated in both test rides on Friday and Saturday.

Born on April 26, 1987 in Donetsk, the Rostov region (Russia), Vladimir Leonov currently lives in Moscow. He loves motocross, mountain skiing, snowboarding, jogging, music, and bicycles. He has been involved in moto sport activities since the impressive age of 12. At the age of 14, Vladimir participated in the Championship of Russia with his 80cc bike. In 2004, he received the amateur motocross Russian Cup in the under 125cc class. A mere year later, in 2005, he received the Cup in the under 250cc class. Since late 2006, Vladimir has been a member of the Vector Racing Team and participated in the Superstock 600 class. Several MotoGP teams noticed Vladimir’s impressive results. Ultimately, this all made it possible for Vector Racing Team to strike a deal with Viessmann Kiefer Racing, allowing Vladimir Leonov to be part of it in MotoGP 2009, class 250cc.

Kawasaki Motors Racing

200px-kawasaki_racing_logoKawasaki Motors Racing was the European subsidiary of Kawasaki Heavy Industries, which is located in Netherlands. It is responsible for managing the racing activities of the MotoGP team and any other motorcycle racing activities Kawasaki may enter in the future. As of January 2009, Kawasaki pull-out of motoGP due to financial crisis.

The subsidiary was setup in 2007 as a result of the Japanese manufacturer’s recent necessary split from Harald Eckl. The reason for the split was Eckl’s involvement with a competitor’s MotoGP activities, which forced Kawasaki to terminate the relationship immediately. For the first time since Kawasaki returned to the premier class of motorcycle racing, the team became a complete ‘in house’ factory team.

The team used the new 800cc Ninja ZX-RR and Bridgestone tyres in 2007. Randy de Puniet and Olivier Jacque were chosen as team riders.

Olivier Jacque crashed in practice during the Chinese Grand Prix, gashing his arm severely enough to be unable to race for 2 Grands Prix. He returned to racing only to crash again during practice at the Catalan Grand Prix, missing this race too. Following the series of injuries, Olivier announced his retirement from competition to continue as a team test rider. Following the retirement of Olivier Jacque Anthony West was offered the position to race with the team.

The team’s best result was a 2nd place finish by Randy de Puniet at a wet Japanese Grand Prix.

For 2008 John Hopkins joins the team alongside Anthony West

In August of 2008, Kawasaki signed Marco Melandri to join John Hopkins for the 2009 season. However, the global financial crisis of 2008 caused Kawasaki to reconsider its MotoGP program, and the Italian sports daily Tuttosport reported on December 30th that Kawasaki would be pulling out of MotoGP.
