DSBK signs Fabio Uccelli as new Race Technical Director of DSBK-Middle East Championship 2024-2025
Dubai: DSBK, a premier biking platform founded by Kannadiga NRI Nasir Syed, has appointed Fabio Uccelli as its new Race Technical Director. Uccelli, who is also the team principal of Motozoo Me Air Racing in the Supersport World Championship, will bring his extensive expertise to the DSBK Middle east Championship. This strategic move aims to elevate the standards of motorcycle racing in the Middle east.
"The first race in Dubai will be after the last one in the Supersport World Championship," Uccelli explained to Corsedimoto. "I can manage everything. The commitment with Motozoo will continue for at least another two years, with excellent riders like this season and the aim of always being protagonists. The role in the Middle east championship is a new challenge that gives me great stimuli and fascinates me."
Journey to Dubai's Motorcycling Scene
Uccelli's journey to his new roles began out of sheer curiosity. "I came to Dubai and as a motorbike enthusiast, I went to the circuit. I was curious to know the motorcycling reality of this country and I started to find out," he recounted. Initially, he was met with some detachment. However, thanks to acquaintances within the Kawasaki branch and some Italians already settled in Dubai, he was able to integrate into the local motorcycling community. "It has enormous potential and plenty of room for growth. I have settled in very well, now I already have many friends. The lifestyle is hectic here too, but less so than in Europe. For the rest, it's very hot but I don't suffer from it. Clearly, I divide my time between Dubai and Italy where I continue to follow Motozoo's activities."
Promoting Motorcycling in Dubai
Uccelli is keen to develop motorcycling in Dubai. "My goal is precisely to contribute to the growth and development of motorcycling in Dubai by enhancing its potential," he said. Within the championship, there will be a Kawasaki single-brand series for which Uccelli will create the kits. This initiative could attract international riders, including those from Italy, who wish to experience racing in Dubai. "We want to try to create interest both among locals and internationally, bring drivers and spectators, give new life to the championship. I would like to try to get the population of the United Arab Emirates as passionate about motorcycling as possible."

Karnataka's Bill against Hate Speeches conspiracy against Hindutva activists: Pramod Muthalik
Davanagere: Sri Rama Sene national president Pramod Muthalik has accused the state government of using the proposed Hate Speech and Hate Crimes (Prevention) Bill to target Hindus and to suppress Hindutva organisations and their leaders.
Speaking at a press conference on Saturday, Muthalik said the Sene opposes the Bill. According to him, the government is bringing this legislation only to appease Muslim voters while selectively targeting Hindu voices.
He questioned whether it is wrong to speak against cow slaughter when the ban is already in force but violations still occur in many places. “Is it wrong to raise awareness among Hindus about love jihad? Is it wrong to oppose illegal construction of churches, mosques or encroachments on cremation grounds? Is objecting to religious conversions wrong?” he asked.
Muthalik alleged that the Bill attempts to silence anyone who questions or protests such issues. He said the move goes against the spirit of the Constitution framed by Dr B.R. Ambedkar and is aimed at weakening the Hindu community.
He urged BJP and JD(S) MLAs to strongly oppose the Bill in the upcoming session and ensure it does not get passed. The organisation will submit memorandums to all legislators and mount pressure, he added.
During the press meet, Muthalik tore copies of the Bill in protest. Leaders of Sri Rama Sene including Parashuram Nadavinamani, Yashavanth, Sridhar and Madhu were present.
