August 2014 bring shocking news about the journey of Cal Crutchlow in MotoGP championship for the next year. After the confirmed of Cal Crutchlow a week before in World Ducati Week, finally the rumor about the British rider will split with Ducati just come true. And officially Ducati Corse announced on August 2nd, that Ducati Corse and Cal Crutchlow terminate contract a head of 2015. And the two factory Ducati Team riders for 2015 will now be Andrea Dovizioso and Andrea Iannone.

We can say now the dream Italian team just made for, with the Italian Bike and also Italian riders. As we know after difficult time for the Ducati and now they can see the good light with Andrea Dovizioso there and also Iannone who we all know that he riding very good and consistent with the Pramac Ducati.

All that words above is not mean that Cal Crutchlow not riding well in Ducati but as we know Cal who always rode Japan bike and move to European bike must be need some more adapting to knowing better how the way the bike work, but sometime time go so fast and can't wait more. And the question is where Cal Crutchlow will ride for 2015 then?

Not long to wait after the official web of LCR Honda announced that the 29 years old British rider Cal Crutchlow  will ride with them for next year, so this announcement also close all the rumor than Cal Crutchlow will ride for Suzuki if finally this team will rejoin in MotoGP for 2015.

The one we need to wait is about where Stefan Bradl will ride for 2015, young rider, talented and also have a good chance for 2014 even though we knowing that he got some crashed and not have any podium yet, but he always make some close chance to podium. Need to wait for the news of this soon and also still curious where Jorge Lorenzo finally will ride even we all very sure he will stay with Yamaha.

Misano MotoGP Test 2013 Impressed All Riders

One day after a very great race in the Grand Prix of San Marino, some team spent one day to do some test for the next couple race left on this season and also some team were preparing the new bike for the next MotoGP 2014 season.

One of the happy team on this test was Yamaha Factory after their success using new seamless shift gearbox which help a lot of their riders to rode and won the Misano Grand Prix with Jorge Lorenzo after lots of struggling with duo Honda on the other race before they used it. We already know when Jorge Lorenzo gets the awesome winning there, the ninth time world champion Valentino Rossi can’t get his precious podium in his home race, after got problem with breaking and entering corner so it forced him to only on the 4th position after a very good front row started. He already did 146% to get the podium for all his fans in Misano but unfortunately not the time yet.

But on this test, both of them have the same happiness with the result on the one day test. Having the same point of view, Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo admit that the new engine for 2014 a little bit similar with the 2013 bike, and overall is good. But the most important thing for them is to test the race bike for the next race in Motorland Aragon, and hope that they will gain a good result. Have two Yamaha factory on Aragon Podium must be the main purpose for the team.

The fastest bike of this season, Honda bike also have very impressing result of the one day test, as often as what we have on 2013 season, the wonder boy Marc Marquez set the fastest time again with 1.33.264 and he tried lots of things with the setup and also geometry, even though the geometry test caused him a small crashed when he try it. But at the end, the test was very good and make him more confident to face next year season with the new prototype bike, and the important one is the test also make a big step for the five remaining race a head, which maybe can make him to be the world champion on his first time debut on MotoGP class.

And his team mate Dani Pedrosa who had very great battle on Misano 2013 for 2nd place also happy with this test. On this one day test Dani Pedrosa get more concentrated with the race bike for the rest of the 2013 season to make him able to solve the rear grip issue and only tried three or four laps with the new bike for 2014.

And the other factory bike who also do the test was Ducati team, after a very hard season in 2013, after Valentino Rossi leave, the team unable to finish on big 5. Really hard way to saw Ducati team who's struggling enough at Misano 2013. But the team still trying to find something to solve their problem and put some hope on the next season and the five race left on this season.

Andrea Dovizioso who still has contract on 2014 not doing the test on any new parts but did the test with the balancing of the bike and they also tried the bigger breaks which might they use in Motegi race, and for the preparation on the next race at Aragon they also try to use hard tire and worked well.

While disappointed news came for Nicky Hayden, after all his good and loyal work with this team since 2009, the team already said that Nicky Hayden will not get the new chassis as Dovisiozo has. This thing happened because of the lacked of the parts to build two versions of the bike. But as we know when Nicky Hayden's contract is not renewed for 2014, so it makes the team will not put lots of effort for him and it’s not only happened on this team but also on the other team. But sometime the team will not so obvious to tell about it for the sake of relationship and or the team still can provide the new things if the position of the bike on world standing is on big three.

Nothing we can do with this situation, only one thing we can hope is that Nicky Hayden will keep staying on MotoGP championship with any other bike, because as we know he's really a good rider who also  the world champion in 2006

This is one thing who's not only come on this sport but also into this real life. We never know what will happened in front of us, the best think we could do is to do the best with whatever we have right now and be grateful with it. Once the thing happened not as the same as what we want the think we can do is face it and put positive think in our mind. Nothing is forever. The past is experience, today is the life and the future is a mystery. Just do it.

Thanks for coming, Nicky Hayden

Met riders in circuit when he had a schedule to race is wonderful thing, because we can feel how their adrenaline before or after the race going.
But when we can have a chance to met rider in our country is very awesome experience. I felt so blessed because my country Indonesia is the one country have a lot of fans of MotoGP although we don't have a good circuit to be host of MotoGP. So on April 2013 after got visited from two riders MotoGP from Yamaha factory team Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo in January 2013, now the time for the gorgeous rider from USA who riding for Ducati bike Nicky Hayden who visit Jakarta and meet with all his fans who want to meet him.

NIcky Hayden talked after Sepang Test MotoGP 2013

The dominance of Repsol Honda and Yamaha Factory team is seen immediately in 2 times Sepang Test 2013. And on the last day of Sepang 2 Test, The American rider Nicky Hayden who be World Champion in the final year of the 990cc in 2006 got a great improve after struggling a lot with the front end of the bike. He can manage to make the gap with other more closer even still over from one second but better than before.

He always trying to handle the wild of big machine of the red bike and understand better even though the turning is still the main area where they need to improve.

And here some of Nicky Hayden commented after Sepang test that had able I record. But as you know Nicky Hayden voice is always sexy with his American Accent, so base on both of the reason made me difficult to hear what he talked about (so if something wrong with that, please give my sorry on it)

How do you think about the gap?

NH: I have a closer this week than last 1st test so I think it's good step, hopefully (you know...) here is difficult track so can't make something to closer the gap, but the turning still big problem

Are you crashed today?

NH: Yes in the turning one, I did my best lap in the day all pretty good but I did a couple mistakes and made the crashed.

So what do you think about this bike?

NH: You know from the beginning of this season was going to be tough but we have must stay focus, keep the course and hopefully we can try to get race from second grid and start from there.

In the last 1st test we got 2 seconds and now one a half second, I knew it's still big number but we work on it, we have some progress between two week test we have a good step, so I'm a quite happy with it. And also I'm rode in the rain and got the felling. 

Did you work with new fork today?
NH: We have a couple little adjustments and try new software but we didn't work on it (no new fork)

All talked about Austin test, do you will follow this test?

NH: No, Ducati already take a decision to not following this test

Why?

NH: I don't know the reason but maybe they need to focus in the factory. But we still have one test again in Jerez before the race of the season start.

And the interviews need to stop due Nicky Hayden and teams have some meeting to discuss about what they got in the test. I always saw couple time after the test or race Nicky always sat and read all the data from the test and made him sometime leave very late from the paddock.

This the one attitude made him so adorable, as we know he has a great talent in the race he already 5 years with Ducati and the best achievement with this bike only have three podium but he still focus and calm, trying hard with his motto Let's Get It and it's so inspiring x
