This is the new look of the Camel Yamaha in Moto GP.

Pictures taken at a testing session in Sepang.

I rather like the look of the M1!

I take it that Camel wanted to actually finish the race and get on the podium? Something Max hasn't been able to do consistently for a long time, jumped up little tit.

Cheers

I thought Rossi was against tobacco advertising and was trying to get a different sponser to the rest of the team.

Yellow looks shite.

Edit: Might as well have some quotes while I'm at it.

Quote:
Valentino Rossi (2’02.14, 74 Laps)
“It’s always a little difficult to start again after the holidays, and I am never sure if I will be able to ride well straight away! Today however everything has felt good right from the start and I am already quite fast. The new M1 is a good bike, I like it and I can see that Yamaha has worked very hard over the winter. We had a few problems with it today; some chattering, but in reality it is good for this stage of the year. We still have a lot of work to do on it of course. The new bike is not so different from the 2005 bike, but still we have to understand completely its character and I have to get more confidence in it, then we can begin to make the modifications needed in order to improve it. Today has just been about understanding the bike, tomorrow we will concentrate more on tyres with Michelin.”


Quote:
Colin Edwards (2’02.61, 69 Laps)
“I came out this morning and felt good immediately. Straight away I felt happy on the bike and could notice all the improvements that Yamaha has made. I’m so accustomed to the 2005 bike at this track, but it was clear today that the new one is better in many ways. I am a bit out of practice after the holiday but once I got going I felt very comfortable to be back on the bike. After a few laps we began to play around with some fork settings and spring rates and in doing so we lost a little bit of feel. Then after lunch I had the crash…it was at turn nine and I just lost the front on the brakes. It all happened pretty slowly and I was fine, luckily. After that we didn’t have time to go back to our good fork setting but anyway the times were still okay. Despite the mishap today I feel like I want to go faster and faster, so I’m looking forward to tomorrow.”


Quote:
Davide Brivio – Camel Yamaha Team Director
“We begin this test with many new things, but the most important is that the new bike is at a good starting point and the riders have been able to do good work straight away. Of course we have many jobs ahead of us to work on the set-up and to test tyres for Michelin, but it has been a good start. Colin’s crash was unfortunate and also something new, since he doesn’t do it very often! Despite this we have had a more than satisfactory day and we hope to get some more important work done over the next two days.”

their gonna fight tooth and nail in court about this so rossi might get a big hefty fine if they win their case in court.

It also doesn't help the championship at all that he's done that. we've already lost one (maybe two) big sponsors in this championship that won't come back for a long while, that's not what GP needs right now.

I thought Stoner wasn't getting a ride this year, as team Honda Camel weren't competing.

Good to see him doing well though Thumbs Up

I thought Camel had pulled out of MotoGP altogether after they couldn't find a decent ride with Biaggi on to sponsor? Confused

I think Camel waved their £ infront of Yamaha, who are in trouble with Gauloises.

Remember reading on Edwards website that his team were looking for a main sponser, so maybe Rossi's one man team didnt work out and Camel stepped in?

Honda gave an RCV to Lucio Checennello to run a team with Stoner after Camel took their money from Sito Pons' team leaving them without a sponsor and hence no Pons squad in MotoGP 2006.

Oh, and from what I understand Rossi was cool with running Camel colors as they are yellow which is supposed to be his favourite color. Now there are some unshakeable morals for ya. I must admit though, it does sound a fair bit like bollocks...

when youve hit the tarmac does everybody else get low confidence in their bike, i mean i fell off the other day and it was my front end which left on a slippy patch of road now i hardly trust my front end and have cornered like a girl today im guessing this is psychological and the only way im going to get better is if i push it but just wondering if anybody else has had to deal with this problem and how they did so
cheers

It looks exactly the same as the camel honda's. You would have thought they could have rejigged the paintjob a bit to incorporate the yamaha speedblocks or something.

I thought Rossi was going to run a 1 man team this year! But not so if Edwards is in the same colours?

Looks like Ellison done ok on the dunlops

Do you call one bad season a long time?

Max finished 2004 and 2003 in 3rd place in the championship, behind Rossi and Gibernau, and was second in 2002.

Like him or not, I'd say he has a fairly consistent career record compared to many who have had regular works or semi-works rides in recent years.
