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."
DSBK-UAE: A Platform for Superbike Enthusiasts
The DSBK- Middle east Championship was founded by Kannadiga NRI Nasir Syed and has quickly become a notable platform for superbike racers, their fans, and prominent brands. The organization hosted its inaugural racing competition successfully and continues to unite the motorcycling community.
Nasir Syed, who manages several successful ventures in Dubai, including CHS Creative House and VME Valves Factory LLC, also leads DSBK – D Super Bike Racing. Syed's journey into superbike racing began after he moved to Dubai, finding his passion in the sport despite its dangers and high costs. His dedication paid off, as he became an international champion with 38 professional bike racing victories. Syed has competed in prestigious events such as the UAE National Championship and the Bahrain Superbike Championship, further solidifying his status as a top racer.

MUDA land ''scam'': Home Minister G Parameshwara says no "cover up", rules out SIT probe
Bengaluru, Jul 8: Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara on Monday rubbished allegations that the government was trying to cover up the alleged fraudulent allotment of compensatory sites to land losers, including Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's wife Parvathi, by Mysuru Urban Development Authority (MUDA).
Ruling out a Special Investigation Team (SIT) probe into the alleged scam, he noted that the Chief Minister has already clarified on the matter.
"We will not cover up anything, ours (government) is like an open book. There is no need to cover up anything in it. The Chief Minister has clarified, we need not speak about it repeatedly," Parameshwara said in response to a question on whether the government is conspiring to cover up the scam.
Union Minister for Steel and Heavy Industries H D Kumaraswamy last week took an indirect swipe at Deputy Chief Minister and state Congress chief D K Shivakumar stating that the MUDA site allotment scam was exposed by a "person who is eyeing the Chief minister's post".

Reacting to this, Parameshwara said: "Regarding what Kumaraswamy has said, I don't have any information."
Asked if the government will form an SIT to probe the case, he said, "No. There is no need for it. The Chief Minister has given the clarification. What is the need to inquire?".
The BJP has alleged that compensatory sites were also allotted to Siddaramaiah's wife in an upmarket area in Mysuru, which had higher property value as compared to the location of her land which had been "acquired" by the MUDA, and sought his resignation.
The MUDA had allotted plots to Parvathi under a 50:50 ratio scheme in lieu of 3.16 acres of her land, where MUDA developed a residential layout.
The controversial scheme envisages allotting 50 per cent of developed land to the land loser in lieu of undeveloped land acquired for forming layouts.
The BJP has alleged that irregularities to the tune of Rs 4,000 crore had taken place in distribution of sites to land losers by MUDA.
Karnataka Urban Development Minister B S Suresha (Byrathi Suresha) has ordered a probe by a four-member committee.
