saco-indonesia.com, Meski hanya menyuplai mesin Aprilia ART kepada IodaRacing Project tahun ini, Aprilia Racing juga ingin menggunakan mereka untuk dapat mengembangkan motor demi kembali ke MotoGP.
Akhir tahun lalu, CEO Piaggio Group (induk perusahaan Aprilia), Roberto Colaninno juga memang telah mengumumkan secara resmi bahwa pihaknya bertekad akan kembali sebagai tim pabrikan pada tahun 2016 mendatang.
Direktur Teknis Aprilia, Romano Albesiano juga mengaku pihaknya belum bisa mendapat tanda tangan kontrak dari IodaRacing. Meski begitu, ia yakin kesepakatan akan segera diraih.
"Kami juga hampir meraih kesepakatan. Mungkin kami juga akan menjalani uji coba pada awal Februari di Valencia bersama mereka," ujar Albesiano kepada Moto Sprint.
Hal inipun telah membuat IodaRacing harus absen dari uji coba pramusim pertama di Malaysia, 4-6 Februari mendatang. "Bagaimanapun motor 2014 dan 2015 akan digunakan sebagai motor laboratorium untuk dapat mempersiapkan musim 2016," pungkas Albesiano.
Dengan Aprilia ART, IodaRacing pun berstatus "Open" di MotoGP 2014. Setiap pembalap akan bisa mendapatkan jatah 12 mesin permusim dengan 24 liter bahan bakar. Selain itu, mereka diwajibkan memakai hardware dan software perangkat elektronik buatan Magneti Marelli

APRILIAGUNAKAN JASA IODARACING DEMI UNTUK KEMBALI KE MOTOGP
WASHINGTON — During a training course on defending against knife attacks, a young Salt Lake City police officer asked a question: “How close can somebody get to me before I’m justified in using deadly force?”
Dennis Tueller, the instructor in that class more than three decades ago, decided to find out. In the fall of 1982, he performed a rudimentary series of tests and concluded that an armed attacker who bolted toward an officer could clear 21 feet in the time it took most officers to draw, aim and fire their weapon.
The next spring, Mr. Tueller published his findings in SWAT magazine and transformed police training in the United States. The “21-foot rule” became dogma. It has been taught in police academies around the country, accepted by courts and cited by officers to justify countless shootings, including recent episodes involving a homeless woodcarver in Seattle and a schizophrenic woman in San Francisco.
Now, amid the largest national debate over policing since the 1991 beating of Rodney King in Los Angeles, a small but vocal set of law enforcement officials are calling for a rethinking of the 21-foot rule and other axioms that have emphasized how to use force, not how to avoid it. Several big-city police departments are already re-examining when officers should chase people or draw their guns and when they should back away, wait or try to defuse the situation
Police Rethink Long Tradition on Using Force
