Red Bull Teka KTM factory motocross rider Steffi Laier "Ready to Race" in 2011

When Steffi Laier, Red Bull Teka KTM factory rider and two-time Women's MX World Champion takes to the track in the pre-season MX races in Valence, France, this weekend it will be her first competitive ride for 2011. Steffi has been training hard on the bike since mid December and in Valence tests herself against a field of male riders.

At the French pre-season special, she faces off with a strong lineup of riders including those from the Nestaan JM Racing KTM squad led by Joel Roelants, Yentel Martens and young talents like 125 European champion Jordi Tixier of France and Austrian Pascal Rauchenecker. Also in the field are other KTM riders like British rider Nathan Parker (PROPPA-COM KTM and French riders Loïc Leonce (B G R KTM) and Loïc Larrieu (WOLFF KTM). But these and other top riders hold no fear for Steffi who his very well known for her toughness, skill and courage when attacking any MX track.

Miguel Torres video: Can a smarter fighter be a player in the 135-pound title hunt?

Miguel Torres was as exciting as they came. His go-for-broke style helped him roll up a 37-1 record and move as high as No. 4 on the pound-for-pound list back in early 2009.

His banging style eventually cost him and he ran into a couple of knockout punches. Now he's re-worked his game to essentially become a points fighter. Do you like it? Torres does.

"I fought my last fight against Demetriuous Johnson, he got the decosion and he ended getting the title shot. So a fight against me can make or break somebody," Torres told Cagewriter. "and I understand. I want to go out there and be very aggressive, finishing fights, but I have to be careful also."

Working with Georges St-Pierre's trainer Firas Zihabi, Torres is now working behind his jab and scoring points. Sound familiar? Will this get Torres an eventual title shot? Standing with less fighters like Nick Pace could also get him caught.

Without explosive wins, Torres (40-4, 2-1 UFC) is now stuck in the middle of the pack from No. 5-15 at bantamweight. Will he get a rematch against Joe Benavidez next or should the UFC throw him someone like Brad Pickett, Scott Jorgensen or Renan Barao?

Visualized: Where NASA's SLS will get high

We've still got quite a while to go before NASA gets back into the space travel game with SLS, but the first pieces of the potential inter-planetary transportation puzzle are starting to fall into place. The $500 million mobile launch tower of the future has already been rolled out and is undergoing structural testing at the Kennedy Space Center. You owe it to yourself to hit up the source link for some more images, including a few from atop the tower.

Schumacher: Strategy will pay off

Michael Schumacher believes his strategic approach to qualifying will pay off in Sunday's Brazilian Grand Prix. The seven-time world champion did not complete a flying lap in Q3, consigning himself to 10th place on the grid at Interlagos - four places behind his Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg. But, having taken a compromise set-up on his car, in case of rain on race day, he believes that he can finish comfortably inside the points, wet or dry

Three-Day Test At Jerez Starts: Moto2, CRT Bikes, BMW WSBK And Ducati Test Team On Track

The sun is shining and the bikes are out on track at Jerez for three days of testing. The test will see a wide variety of bikes take to the Andalucian asphalt, including the BQR MotoGP team with their FTR-built, Kawasaki-powered CRT bike, Colin Edwards getting his first outing on the BMW Suter CRT bike, a bevy of Moto2 teams including Marc VDS Racing testing the Kalex further, Tech 3 riders Xavier Simeon and Bradley Smith, the Pons and Aspar teams, Maverick Viñales testing the FTR Moto3 bike for the first time, the factory BMW World Superbike squad of Marco Melandri and Leon Haslam, and the Ducati MotoGP test team, with test rider Franco Battaini and the specially drafted in Carlos Checa to help test the Ducati Desmosedici.

For the Moto2 riders, this is mainly a welcome continuation of the test at Valencia. The teams lost two days of testing to the weather at Valencia, leaving them with a lot still to do. Scott Redding was an early crasher on Wednesday morning, taking a tumble at Turn 7, from which he walked away unscathed. The crash was caught on video by the onboard camera installed by the Marc VDS Racing team on Redding's Kalex.

Georges St. Pierre poses for a picture to make Canadians smile

Yesterday, we showed you a video about Americans wanting to see Jason Miller knock out Michael Bisping. While it was fun, it did leave out our fine readers from Canada. To make up for that slight, here is a picture of Georges St. Pierre surrounded by hockey sweaters holding a figurine of Wayne Gretzky.

You're welcome. De rien.

Zoe Saldana: Not Hooking Up with Bradley Cooper

He?s People magazine?s Sexiest Man Alive, but Bradley Cooper's rumored romance with Zoe Saldana is apparently all made up.

The ?Hangover? hunk was supposedly intimately involved with the ?Avatar? babe since September when they were seen ?acting like two high school kids going steady? while out in Manhattan.

But Zoe?s rep has come to her defense, definitively declaring that Saldana is nothing more than friends with Mr. Cooper.

?Look at this source- unbelievable- they are friends who worked on a recent film called The Words also co starring Jeremy Irons and Olivia Wilde,? said the rep.
