Unpredictable Misano Podium 2015 and the Rossi effect

The Circuit of Marco Simoncelli San Marino on September 13^th 2015 flooded by the spectacular yellow color of Valentino Rossi fans. No wonder because this circuit are very near with Valentino Rossi heaven in Tavullia but also it’s not surprise because in every circuit of MotoGP always the consistent colors was Yellow.

All riders very ready to start this race even though before start of the race the sky was very cloudy and some water already dripping even only little. But finally race started with the dry race, Jorge Lorenzo and Marc Marquez did a very good start and suddenly lead the race for about first 2 lap and Valentino Rossi tried to find his rhythm and at lap 3 Valentino Rossi able to make the gap closer after he set the fastest lap with 1.33.894. And all the spectators cheer for the legend. Only few laps after that rain starting fall down and make the track in wet condition and all the riders decided to come to pit and change the bike for wet condition. Almost all riders changed the bike only Bradley Smith still used the same bike even struggling and down to 20^th position. But his brave speculation finally made a very good result for him and gave him 2^nd position at the end on the Misano GP.

Lap by lap valentine getting strong and strong and able to overtake Marc Marquez on lap 11 and four laps after that with the elegance way he just got the position of Jorge Lorenzo and lead the race. But unfortunately rain fall getting heavy and heavy so all the team suggest riders to change and swipe the bike. Almost all riders following to swipe the bike only Bradley Smith still used the same bike even struggling and down to 20^th position. But his brave speculation finally made a very good result for him and gave him 2^nd position at the end on the Misano GP.

Back to three riders in front Jorge Lorenzo, Marc Marquez and Valentino Rossi trying hard to adapting soon with the soft tyre and make a good grip with the track and as everybody know Valentino Rossi with all experience he has very great at tricky track condition and because of that he able to overtook Marc Marque on Lap 11 and 4 laps after that with the elegance overtook he got the position of Jorge Lorenzo and lead the race. But unfortunately the weather change so fast and the track dry out very fast too, so all the team give direction to back to pit again and change the bike for 2^nd times.

Almost all riders change the bike but Trio leader still stay with the wet bike until Marc Marquez be the first of them back to pit and change the bike and it’s really good decision of him to change the bike at that time so he able to push the bike with the enough laps he has and be in the first position until the end of Misano GP.

So where is Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo? Yes, duo Yamaha with all the braveness and strategy on their own head still pushing with wet tyre in the dry track and for sure made the grip lose and reduce their speed. Everybody wonder why both of them not back and change the bike soon. 7 laps to go Jorge change the bike while Valentino Rossi still on the way with his soft tyres.

But unlucky for Jorge Lorenzo when he tried to push the bike and get back his front position, he crashed out at turn 15 and can’t continue the race and need to stop without any point. While Valentino Rossi on 4 laps to go finally decided to change the bike but the laps was to little for him to be able to comeback to top position and need to be happy to finish 5^th on his home race. But he doesn’t too much sad because he still be the lead of the world champion and the gap point with the runner up was 23. Which is good at least can make him take a breath little bit until Aragon race.

Some of peoples said Valentino Rossi was failed on Misano Race to only finish 5^th because he late to take decision to change the bike, but sometime we need to thinking anti mindstream from others, and look what the goal we want to achieve. His goal is to make his position safe in world standing and he made it, so nothing wrong from his decision then.

Sometime life is about take a risk, when you only brave to life in the same rule as other, you will never able to see your own life. Your life is like an empty paper, only yourself can draw it with what color you want. So valentino Rossi already created his own picture in Misano.  And also like us as Valentino Rossi fans we already draw the paper with Yellow color

Six Yamaha Bikes in One Stage MOTOGP 2014

4^th January 2014 at 8pm, Yamaha did Press Conference with title "Yamaha Motorsports Press Conference 2014". This moment for me is more than only press conference, because in this event for the 1^st time we can meet up with all riders using Yamaha bike for 2014 season at one stage. And for sure as we know Yamaha bike is having a very good speed and now with total 6 Yamaha bikes on this championship will make this sport more lovable and entertaining to watch for.

First rider came to the stage is Jorge Lorenzo with hat and glasses, he was walking very confident to the stage and all media who are there gave a very big applause and he smiled and wove to all of us. The 2^nd name called by the MC with the words “the famous rider in the world ….. Valentino Rossi” with his wonderful smile, he’s walking slowly and turn his head around to the audience, just feel the big charisma of him hardly.

And the next are riders for Yamaha Tech 3,

Bradley Smith who’s already joins on this team from last year and now he has the new teammate Pol Espargaro, the Moto2 2013 World Champion. As we know, started from 2014, Yamaha have leasing agreement with their YZR-M1 with NGM Mobile Forward Racing team. Who make all MotoGP fans so excited with this team is because Collin “Texas Tornado” Edward will ride one of the 2 bikes on this team with team mate AleixEspargaro.

When we look to the rider composition of Yamaha for 2014, for sure all the names of the ridersisall the very good talent on this sport.

As we know Yamaha YZR-M1 is already a very good bike and now with some adjustment the bike must be even more perfect to ride. The baby “M1” (sometimes we called like that because Valentino Rossi really love this bike) have some improvement than 2013, the engineer make some changes for the ECU due to the New Rule from Dorna, make adjustment on the seamless gearbox and they called it more sophisticated Seamless Gearbox, and with it we’re really hope that they can make some improvementof speed in every corner of the track and make them to not losing more of time and make more gap with others.

After 3^rd day test, Valentino Rossi’s result seems more have his feeling with his M1 and he really had a good confident when we saw the way he ride the bike in every lap, and it means Yamaha’s engineersare doing great with some improvement they made. And with all the comments from the 6 riders after the 1^st test for sure the engineers will try again to have some solution to fix and make the bike more competitive.

Here are some of the quotes from Valentino Rossi with his baby M1 after finished the entire 3^rdday test :

“The test has been very good, I’m very happy, especially for the second position and more than that for the lap time which is the best of my career in Sepang. It’s the first time under 2’00 for me and just one tenth from Marc and the overall record of the track.”

“I found a good feeling with the bike, we found some good solutions and it’s been very positive,” he added. 

“We tried a simulation in the afternoon that was very good to understand any problems. We suffered a bit to keep a good pace but it wasn't so bad. For the first test the balance was good.”

And we also got surprise from AleixEspargaro constantly he got 7^th, 5^th and 4^th for the whole test and means that it’s really good progress for Yamaha bike.

Keep all the good work Yamaha; we all hope that we can see the 10^thon this year. It will be awesome if Valentino Rossi can make it this year. Because Valentino Rossi never stops trying and we’ll never stop believing in him.

Be one team is beginning, believing each other is process, find success together is result, become famous is bonus
