Valencia: 125的最後一舞
Valencia: last dance for the 125's
Two world championships will be decided this weekend at Valencia, but it will also represent the end of the 125cc class, and the total elimination of two-stroke engines from Grand Prix racing.
在本周末的瓦倫西亞將會產生兩個世界冠軍, 這也將事125cc等級的最後呈現, 之後二行程引擎將徹底退出GP賽事
This change in technical trends began in 2002, when the 500cc two-strokes were replaced by the MotoGP class, and it took another step in 2010, when the 600cc Moto2 machines phased out the 250's. Taking over the entry level class in 2012 will be Moto3, consisting of 250cc four-stroke engines.
這個技術趨勢的改變始於2002, 當時500cc二行程被MotoGP等級取代, 而下個階段是在2010年, 600cc的Moto2取代了250cc, 在2012賽事的入門等幾將會是由250cc四行程引擎所組成的Moto3賽事
The 125cc displacement, having been contested non-stop from 1949 until today, is the category with the largest number of Grand Prix disputed. Before the implementation of age limits, the class was often dominated by "specialists," who often made the most of their small size and light weight. More recently, the class became the definitive proving ground for any young rider with MotoGP ambitions, seeing the likes of Valentino Rossi, Loris Capirossi, Dani Pedrosa, Jorge Lorenzo, Andrea Dovizioso, Casey Stoner and Marco Simoncelli all cut their teeth there.
125CC排量的比賽從1949年一直持續到今天, 是GP系列賽是中數量最多的級別, 在實施年齡限制之前, 這些"專家"通常由身材小體重輕的選手所組成, 最近, 這個級別成為對MotoGP有野心的年輕車手的最終試驗場, 就如同 Valentino Rossi, Loris Capirossi, Dani Pedrosa, Jorge Lorenzo, Andrea Dovizioso, Casey Stoner and Marco Simoncelli 都在那裡摔斷他們的牙齒 ===> (這些人都是從這裡開始他們的職業生涯)
The early years of the category were dominated by Mondial and MV Agusta, with Carlo Ubbiali winning 5 world championships, from 1955 to 1960, on the latter. The 1960's saw the rise of the Japanese manufacturers, however, and the development of two-stroke technology. From 1961 to 1970, Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki and Kawasaki all took turns at the top, often racing with exotic multi-cylindered designs.
早年在這個級別是由 Mondial and MV Agusta 組成, 後來有 Carlo Ubbiali 在1955-1960 年贏得五次世界冠軍, 然而, 在1960年代, 隨著二行程的技術發展, 日本製造商跟著崛起, 自1961-1970 Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki and Kawasaki 經常以多氣缸的設計接連登上頂峰
From there it was the Italian marques that returned to prominence, with 13 straight constructors titles divided between Morbidelli, Minarelli, MBA, and Garelli. The bike with the most continued success was the twin-cylinder Garelli 125 GP, which won 6 riders' and 4 constructors' titles in the 1980's, thanks to riders like Angel Nieto, Luca Cadalora, and Fausto Gresini.
自從 Morbidelli, Minarelli, MBA, and Garelli 之間的13連勝之後, 義大利品牌重新回到頂峰, 其中以Garelli 125 GP雙缸賽車在1980年代創造最多連勝紀錄, 並奪得6個車手冠軍4個製造商冠軍, 這都要感謝Angel Nieto, Luca Cadalora, and Fausto Gresini 這些車手們
A 1988 rules changed limited the class to single-cylinder engines, which paved the way for Honda and Aprilia to dominate. The Italian marque has won 9 of the last 15 world championships, but Honda still holds the outright record with 14 titles.
1988年由HONDA及Aprilia主導, 規定這個級別只能以單缸引擎參賽, 義大利品牌贏得最後15次冠軍賽中的9次, 而HONDA則保有14奪冠紀錄
In terms of rider nationality, the class has been thoroughly dominated by Italy and Spain, with the former counting 23 world champions, and the latter 14.
在車手國籍的部份, 此級別的冠軍完全由義大利及西班牙人奪得, 其中前者拿下23次, 後只拿下14次
Grand Prix racing has experienced some significant changes over the last ten years, but the departure of the 125cc class represents the death of a bygone era in racing. The paddock simply won't be the same without the smell of two-stroke exhaust in the air; these lightweight machines, and the fantastic racing they produced, will be sorely missed.
GP賽事在過去十多年裡歷經了許多重大變化, 但125cc級別代表著過時賽車時代的消逝, 沒有了二行程的排氣味道, 圍場裡將不再一樣, 那些輕量的車及它們的精采比賽, 將被深切的懷念
