Nobody can deny the fact that motorcycles are not only cool and fun to drive, but also more fuel-efficient. Yet, similar to driving a car, it can be dangerous if you are not careful, but I suppose you already knew that. Still, people who are true motorcycle enthusiasts won’t let fear stop them from enjoying a good ride, as their love for these vehicles is far greater than any type of fear that they might feel. What they will do, however, is find out more about how to stay safe and protected on the road.   

In fact, they will do whatever they can in order to find out how to enhance their overall riding experience and make it as great as it could possibly be. Riding a motorcycle is not about going from point A to point B. It is actually about thoroughly enjoying the ride and everything that comes with it, which is precisely why every rider focuses on making that ride as enjoyable as it can be.

If you are one of those people who love motorcycles and if you are thinking of taking a road trip soon, then you probably know what I am talking about. There are all kinds of preparations to be made and all kinds of things to be packed before setting off. I have a question, though. Have you perhaps thought of packing a bottle of CBD oil for the road? In case you don’t know what this is and why you would even need to pack it, continue reading to find out.

CBD oil is a product made using the cannabis plants. Don’t worry, though, I’m not suggesting any psychoactive substances, since CBD oil is actually made from Cannabidiol, which is known to be the non-psychoactive cannabis compound. I suppose that this was your first concern when I mentioned cannabis, which is why I had to address it right away and tell you that there is absolutely no reason to worry, as this product cannot get you high. Another thing that speaks in favor of this product’s safety is the fact that most manufacturers use pure

Another thing that speaks in favor of this product’s safety is the fact that most manufacturers use pure cannabidiol from hemp while making it, instead of some other cannabis plants. As you might already know, hemp contains rather low amounts of THC, which means that the plant itself isn’t psychoactive. Consequently, even if there were traces of THC in your product, by accident or on purpose, the amount that could be contained inside wouldn’t be enough to produce any psychedelic effects. So, the best thing to do is search for products made of hemp if you want to play it safe.

Now that we have cleared that up, let us continue to our main topic for the day. I have already mentioned above that you might start thinking about taking a bottle of this oil with you for your motorcycle ride. Yet, you are probably confused as to why you should do that in the first place. Well, as it turns out, CBD oil can be rather good for motorcycle riders and now it’s time to learn why. That way, you can decide for yourself whether this is going to be your riding companion or not.

Helps Them Stay Alert While On The Road

As already explained, motorcycles are a bit more dangerous than cars, meaning that you will constantly need to be on alert and that you should never lose your focus while on the road. One small mistake made by lack of attention can lead to accidents and injuries, which is certainly something you would much rather avoid. In addition to taking all the safety measures in order to protect yourself on the road, you might also want to think about using CBD oil to help you stay completely focused.

It’s perfectly normal for riders to get tired after a while and the best thing to do is stop your motorcycle for a while, stretch your legs and wait for the energy to return to you. Yet, if you feel that you are running out of energy and that you are having a hard time staying alert, but you need to reach a certain destination, then you’ll be lucky to have CBD oil on your side. This product can increase your alertness and thus allow you to be completely focused during the whole ride.

Makes The Ride More Enjoyable Be Reducing Anxiety

Few things are worse than dealing with anxiety while riding. You definitely need to constantly be attentive while riding, but this doesn’t mean that you should be overwhelmed and anxious. CBD oil works towards relieving you of anxiety and thus making your whole journey much more enjoyable.

Helps Recover More Quickly From Certain Injuries

If you happen to injure your joints or your muscles during a ride, you might find yourself unable to continue the journey until you’ve recovered. The good thing is that CBD oil can lead to a full recovery more quickly. It will reduce your pain and have an overall positive impact on your joints and muscles. Cyclists are also happy about this. 

Helps Deal With Sore Muscles

Even if we take injuries out of the equation, chances are that your muscles might get sore from sitting in the same position and riding for a long time. Well, once again, CBD oil can be of enormous help in such situations. Simply put, it can help soothe your sore muscles, which is certainly rather significant for every rider.

RENEWED COLLABORATION BETWEEN SPRINT FILTER AND APRILIA RACING

The positive start of the MotoGP season for Aprilia Racing is also an opportunity to renew a consolidated technical partnership with Sprint Filter. A leading high performance air filter and intake system manufacturer, Sprint Filter equips not only the RS-GP bikes ridden by Aleix Espargaró and Lorenzo Savadori, but also the Italian racing department's entire range of sport bikes. Bikes like the new RS 660 Trofeo, the most recent jewel of the track produced by Aprilia Racing, or the special “X” editions of the Tuono V4 and RSV4 and the Aprilia 250 Sport Production bikes, protagonists in the category of the same name established in 2020.

Founded in 1952, Sprint Filter began making high performance air filters and intake systems, extremely innovative even then, working in collaboration with the best fuel system manufacturers and the top teams. From the early fifties, research and development of new filtering fabrics and intake systems have been at the base of the creation of Sprint Filter products.

Thanks to the experience gained in more than sixty-five years of activity, which makes it the oldest company in the world for the automotive performance filtering segment, Sprint Filter is able to meet any type of need, from a simple sport filter to replace the original, all the way to entire intake systems in carbon fibre, fibreglass and various plastic materials, with filtering elements that use special, precision calibrated polyester fabrics.

From 2021, Sprint Filter modernised its production systems and launched a new bike line, becoming the leading supplier in MotoGP, providing products to more than 70% of the teams - collaboration which guarantees constant development of the product.

IN THE CATALUNYA GP ALEIX WILL START FROM THE THIRD ROW

POOR GRIP DOESN’T HELP LORENZO SAVADORI

For his home GP, Aleix Espargarò will start from the first spot on the third row after qualifiers where he did the seventh-best time, less than 4 tenths behind the pole position time and less than two tenths from the front row. It could have been an even better position if it hadn’t been for a mistake on his last flying lap.
In any case, both rider and bike are consistent, with an RS-GP that continues confirming its competitiveness and Aleix consistently in Q2 from the start of the 2021 season.

On the other hand, Lorenzo Savadori, is struggling with poor grip, even crashing out in FP3. In fact, the Montmelò is characterised by asphalt that provides extremely low grip, making the riders’ job particularly difficult, especially those in their rookie year like Lorenzo.

ALEIX ESPARGARO'
"To be honest, I must say that, after Qatar, this is the track where I am least able to exploit the strong points of the new RS-GP. So, it may seem strange, but I am satisfied, because in spite of this, I was able to be competitive both in terms of pace and on the flying lap in qualifying. If I had been able to finish the last lap, I may have been able to start from even farther forward, but I risked a high side on the same turn where Jack crashed. Tyre choice will clearly be fundamental here. I still need to meet with the engineers, but we’ll analyse the situation extremely carefully."

LORENZO SAVADORI
"We tried some different solutions today, but without finding any great improvements. In qualifying, I lost a lot of time on the last sector. I could have done a bit better, but we are still close. For the race tomorrow, choosing the right tyre will be extremely important, and then managing it well with the electronics strategies. That is the factor that can really make the difference here."
