Schedule for the first race of MotoGP 2012 (Commercial Bank Grand Prix Qatar)

The first race of this season will start in very soon. And the one made us waiting with very curious of course the best rider ever Valentino Rossi performance with his bike. at present we all know that Vale's bike is under development because after he can’t reach what they think with the last bike (GP 11.1), the team are trying to build a new bike with so many different configurations. 


Like the position of engine the old bike used L Twin and the GP 12 will use V twin with the  hope the bike will be more easier to control and maneuver in the corner. The bike is also heavier due to the new regulation from Dorna for 2012 season from 150kg (800 cc) be 157 kg for 1000 cc. I think the change of the weight they did to make the bike more stable because the speed of the bike will be faster. For Ducati the speed of the bike with 1000cc engine is around 360km/hours

The names of the new bike was called GP12 or Phoenix means in mythology is the bird that lived in the desert for 500 years and then consumed itself by fire, later to rise renewed again from its ashes.

Just like spirit of the team who last season very burned with the success they can’t get after all thing the best they did for make the bike perform but the success didn’t come until the end of the season, and they will keep the spirit up and renew the bike for make it able to have some battle with others bike like Honda and Yamaha.

What we can say from their spirit is They look the reality about how struggle they were in the past but doesn't mean they need to stop and just stay there but they move on to build in again part by part, and make progress gradually.

Here what Valetino Rossi's comment before the GP Weekend : "We worked hard over the winter, and although we went the wrong direction at one point, we once again managed to find the good feeling with the GP12 that we'd had in the first test - Valentino Rossi said - With those settings, which we'll start with in Qatar, I was able to get good feedback from the bike. At Losail it will be very important to work well during the sessions leading up to qualifying so that we can increase our confidence step by step as we approach Saturday, always trying to maximize our potential. I'm a realist, and I know well that our times are still a long way off and that there are still some things to fix. We won't be able to address some of them right away, but it's also true that both we at the track and the guys back home now have a direction to work in, and we must try to do as well as we can. We won't completely redo the bike during the season, but we'll try to progress little by little."




Lot of positive comments from other about what Valentino Rossi and Ducati team doing with their bike:

Dani Pedrosa said : “Valentino Rossi is Sunday rider so he still able to reach the podium”

Vittoriano Guareschi : “He's not so young as when he first came to Yamaha in 2004, but his motivation is very high and I think Valentino with the support of good will can fight for victory”

Jorge Lorenzo : “I think Valentino Rossi will fight to achieve the title for this year, he’s still strong and the bike more competitive”

Pernat : “for me Valentino Rossi can still be champion”


Dsulistiyo : “I don't know why, but I pretty sure Valentino Rossi will touch podium in Qatar”
