Here’s just a small taste of what you can expect:

Dave from Motourage helps Geoff May celebrate his 2008 Superstock race win in front of the hometown crowd at Road Atlanta

Yesterday, Jordan Motorsports Suzuki issued a news release announcing their 2010 lineup. Jordan regular Aaron Yates will return to command his #23 GSX-R1000 in the AMA American Superbike class, but – a surprise to many – the number-two rider for the Jordan team will be 2008 AMA Formula Xtreme champion and former Erion Racing Honda Daytona Sportbike rider, Pasa Robles, California’s Jake Zemke. Although we here at Motourage are, admittedly, big fans of Jake, this announcement leaves us – and many others – wondering what the heck happened to Geoff May. Piloting the #54 National Guard Suzuki, May stood on the box three times during the 2009 season and finished eighth in points, one position behind Jordan teammate Aaron Yates. The previous season, after moving from M4 EMGO Suzuki (now Team Hammer) to the Jordan team, he took the Superstock runner-up spot behind Yates and finished in 10^th position in Superbikes, again one spot behind his teammate.

Even Superbike Planet’s rumor mill is silent on the May situation, and nothing has come from the Jordan camp. So, we’re left to assume that the Georgia native is looking for a job for the 2010 season. Our Motourage Video of the Day only reinforces those assumptions. This video was posted on YouTube in early December and hints at just that: Geoff May is looking for a ride.

Today’s Motourage Video of the Day features testing of the Inmotech GPI 10 MotoGP machine. Spanish designed and built, the 800cc, pneumatic-valve, 80-degree V4 is scheduled to make its first MotoGP appearance at the Catalunya Grand Prix in July. Test rider Ivan Silva, who has competed in MotoGP, the World Superbike Championship and – most recently – the CEV Buckler Spanish Championship, is expected to pilot the motorcycle. Inmotech plans to run five races in 2010 before becoming a full-time competitor the following season.

Today’s Motourage Video of the Day is the official Yamaha release of King Kenny’s return to the Indy Mile this past summer to ride the infamous TZ750 Flat Tracker.

Today’s Motourage Video of the Day is an ass-cam ride-along with Russian racer Vladimir Leonov as he tests the Suter Racing Moto2 machine at Almeria.

In his second season in the MotoGP support class, Leonov will make the move to Suter Racing for the first season of the new Moto2 series following a 24^th-place season last year with Viessmann Kiefer Racing Aprilia in the 250 class.

2003 World Supersport champion, 2005 World Superbike runner up and former MotoGP rider Chris Vermeulen makes his return to World Superbikes in 2010 aboard a Paul Bird Kawasaki.

In this installment of the Motourage Video of the Day, Chris recaps his pre-season testing successes and what it’s like to be back on a superbike.

Today’s Motourage Video of the Day is a great montage of 2001 500cc action with a soundtrack provided by the Scorpions.
