Finally the MotoGP 2012 starting and we can saw the result of Free Practice 1 for Casey Stoner with record time 1.56.474 and Free Practice 2 The World Champion 2011 still take a lead with 1.55.960 more fast from the first FP1 and for Free Practice 3 the result was Jorge Lorenzo be the fastest with time 1.55.302.At least the result is not only with one name of rider who take a lead for all practice like the last year in Losail Qatar, so we can still have some hope the race will be interesting with battle from the riders with different team and bike.
And the one make us sure we will have great race was Cal Crutchlow who very surprising got 2nd position on Free Practice 3 and forced Casey Stoner to following him at 3rd place. Means we can't see again the different between Yamaha Factory and Yamaha Satelite, because with the gap only +0.154 with the fastest its means nothing.
But where is Valentino Rossi if he able to achieved big 5 with his new bike he and team developing, the answer is not yet for this time, so means the bike was failed ? And we can said "Of Course Not", why? Because for all Free Practice the rider from Ducati team with Number 46 only used hard tyres. Which means the rider very concentration to know well the setting of the bike with hard tyre like we all know when the race come the hard tyres is almost the chosen for all riders because the grip more able for all lap they need to do. And soft tyre is only use for Qualifying Practice, So we all think Valentino Rossi have a secret mission for the race come and hope we will find the great surprise we all wish.
And its totally same like Nicky Hayden Free Practice is really means nothing we because is totally different with race, so even he got the get result for FP1 he still want calm until what he can bring for Sunday race.
At the started of the Free Practice 1 Nicky Hayden used the hard tyres and than switched to soft tyres and the last exit and he can got more fast for the result.
Bellow the result all Free Practice for all Ducati Riders :
FP1 | FP2 | FP3 | ||||
VR46 | 1.57.914 | 10th | 1.57.274 | 10th | 1.56.535 | 8th |
NH69 | 1.56.924 | 3rd | 1.56.782 | 7th | 1.56.402 | 7th |
HB8 | 1.57.912 | 9th | 1.56.678 | 5th | 1.56.163 | 6th |
KA17 | 1.57.939 | 11th | 1.57.523 | 11th | 1.57.223 | 12th |
We need to honest the result is not good enough for fighting in front row, the time they made not much different with the last year.
But when we heard what Valentino Rossi commented after FP3 it was clearly show how ready the team to make some great race on Sunday (Early Monday for Indonesian time) : “Today went pretty well, and I’d say that the last session was the best. The position is nothing fantastic, but on the positive side, I’m very consistent with the hard tyre. The front of the bike is giving more feedback, so I can push more, which is very important, and the bike is very fast at the end of the straight. The understeer is still there, but now I think we have a place from which to work. We hope to improve two or three small things with the setting for tomorrow, and we’ll try to qualify on the second row." (Motogp.com)What realistic Valentino Rossi is, he not put the target so high but I do sure He will doing and achieve the target with high motivation.
MotoGP need you Valentino Rossi, ride safe for Qualifying Practice.
