After the Interview Shaina did with Cal Crutchlow on the last October, she get exclusive chance to met up with Cal Crutclow (Story in other article) at the recent Sepang Test on February 2016.This little girl having lot of people around paddock who knowing her after the great interview with Cal Crutchlow that was published by Crash.net, Speedweek and one of biggest newspaper in German Motorsport Aktuell.
During the meeting with Cal Crutclow, she also had a chance to meet with Marc Márquez and Dani
Pedrosa. Marc Márquez realized that she was the one who did the interview recently
with Cal Cruthclow. With
very humble way Marc Márquez said to this Indonesian little girl that the
interview was very good and she should also make an interview for him sometime.
And we were there only laughing because we just think it was only a polite way
of Marc to make the 10th years old little girl happy.
But we never know because even
articles develop their very own dynamics. And on this case it showed soon, that
this was not only an empty phrase of Marc Márquez for this little girl. A nice
coincidence happened, the Repsol Honda MotoGP factory teams launch their 2016
bikes in Indonesia with Honda Indonesia at the Sentul International Circuit, mean it is the Shaina’s
home country.
Shaina already there waiting her
fortune on the very big event of Repsol Honda MotoGP factory team and, It was a
busy and rainy day, but lucky for Shaina, because she got access to the team´s
restricted area. After Marc Márquez and Dani Pedrosa came, they both warmly
welcomed her with nice hug and humble short conversation. But as they still had
a lot of obligations, they asked her to wait. So she waited in front of Marc
Márquez ´ room.
Long minutes and hours passed,
the program was almost over and the big luxury coach was already waiting at the
end of the paddock with the engine running for bringing two Honda riders and
team to the airport. Then suddenly Marc Márquez asked Shaina to come in to his
private room with very lovable way. We could see very clearly he was already
exhausted from all the day’s work and the hot weather combine with rain and
high humidity, but he was cool and gave his tight time for making the words to
Shaina come true.
So she sat down, face to face
with Marc Márquez and automatically like provisional she took her tablet and
started asking.
Shaina Salvia A.S.:
My first question is: A lot of factory bikes are
using wings on their fairings. Do you think the RC213V for 2016 also needs
wings or is the wing from the Honda logo already enough? (Laughing)
Marc Márquez: (looking at Shaina
and laughing) Yeah…, Honda is working on this because Ducati started with the
wings already long time ago, a lot of year ago... and now as Ducati started, also
Yamaha tried and also Honda is working on their wings in the wind tunnel to try
their wings. I don’t know we will put or not. Depend on the result, maybe it
will make a little gap but I don’t think it will make a big gap.
Shaina Salvia A.S.:
The next question: For 2016, what is the improvement
on the 2016 bike, to make you fast again on the track?
Marc Márquez:
We change a little bit the specific on the engine
for trying to improve the character of the bike and we are working there. And
also we will try some different setup on the electronic, because now it’s
common software for everybody to have the same software, the same electronic
and we are trying to adjust this electronic.
Shaina Salvia A.S.:
Aaa ok, (and looking to her tablet) I have a little
question again, what is actually your favorite circuit?
Marc Márquez:
My Favorite circuit is… One of my favorite circuits
is Phillip Island. It is really nice. And then Aragon, I also like it a lot.
Austin, I like it. So fast corners, I always like it.
Shaina Salvia A.S.:
Do you like in Indonesia?
Marc Márquez:
(Laughing) Indonesia …., I did few lap here in
Sentul International Circuit with the small bike and it looks an interesting
circuit, many change direction and someday maybe we will ride with the MotoGP.
Shaina Salvia A.S.:
(With her hoping face) Ya, I hope also. (And Shaina
face look around), so you like playing PS4? (Curious voice)
Marc Márquez :
Yes sometimes in my free time, We are playing FIFA
for football game, some MotoGP, motor bike game, Formula 1 game, always on Play
station.
Shaina Salvia A.S.:
(Very relax voice) same as my brother and me…
Marc Márquez:
Same heh? (Laughing loudly) You are good?
Shaina Salvia A.S.:
Hmmm. Not really (honest face but little
disappointed) but …
Marc Márquez:
(Continuing Shaina word) but your brother beat you
… you will beat your brother, because you are really smart (with his finger to
his head).
(Both of them are laughing very
friendly)
Shaina Salvia A.S.:
Thank you (with very happy but little shy face), Thank
you for the time.
Marc Márquez:
You´re welcome (Hugging and surprisingly he kiss Shaina)
muach …
And not to stop there, Shaina tried
to remember and said:
“And Happy Birthday …..” (Shaina stops, because suddenly Marc
Márquez is answering) “Thank you”. (With
very happy face and Shaina continues) “I know it is not your birthday yet because it
is….” (Stops again) and Marc continuing “…
yes Wednesday, It is on Wednesday”
Shaina Salvia A.S.:
Yeah ..So you will go to Phillip Island?
Marc Márquez:
Yes we are going now at 8 in the night we have the
flight for the test.
Shaina Salvia A.S.:
I’m sorry I
can’t go there, I would like to go but I should go to school.
Marc Márquez:
No worry and of course school is important. (With
serious voice to Shaina)
Shaina Salvia A.S.:
Thank you very much
Then Marc Márquez took his things
and left the room, as the team was already waiting outside. They went down the
long corridor, then suddenly Marc turned around, ran back to Shaina and gave
her a pillow with his photo on it. And also Marc give one more chance for
Shaina took a photo together with him.
Shaina was very happy about the
present and keeps it among her beloved souvenirs. She actually had a few more
questions on her tablet, but as she knew Marc Márquez had very little time, she
was too anxious to ask them. She was so grateful with the big opportunity that
she experienced.
She really hope this story can be
publish on Marc Márquez birthday, as a present on his 22 years old at Feb 17th..
So here we go “HAPPY BIRTHDAY Marc
Márquez “
