Brilliant Decision from Valentino Rossi on MotoGP Jerez 2014

After a very brave movement by Valentino Rossi in Argentina even though it didn’t bring any podium for him, but finished at 4^th place there with very stable speed was very promising for the other races left. As we know, after Qatar and 2 American circuits, the 4^th season of MotoGP was hosted at Jerez – Spain and it’s the first MotoGP 2014 in Europe and as we know lot of great battle happened in this circuit, since Doohan – Alex Criville (1996), Valentino Rossi and Sete Gibernau (2005) and the last year was Jorge Lorenzo and wonder boy Marc Marquez (2013).

On this year, almost all prediction  on Marc Marquez due the huge reason of how strong he can took 4 pole and also he’s already won 3 series in 2014, so all prediction jump to him and quite more interesting as we know Jerez 2014 will be his 100 times on Grand Prix, and not forget about passed memory in Jerez when he had hot battle with Jorge so all spectators and media thinking that it will be happened again between them, and as we know in the same date with Jerez race is Jorge birthday and also 200 times for Jorge in Grand Prix. So very possible if both of them will do with all they have to win in here. But after race came in very good weather of Jerez, that prediction didn’t happen at all, Marc Marquez who got good start on pole and continue running fast and make huge gap to others, while Jorge Lorenzo struggling on 3^rd place and laps by laps make his tire didn’t have enough grip and forced him to accept overtake from Dani Pedrosa on lap 21 who finally can finished on 3^rd and for The birthday boy need to happy with his 4^th place on Jerez race.

So after we know the 1^st podium own by young riders with No. 93 Marc Marquez and 3^rd place by flamboyant rider Dani Pedrosa while for 4^th spot for Birthday boy Jorge Lorenzo, so the question is who got the precious 2^nd podium for Jerez 2014 and the answer is the one and only Valentino Rossi. 

After struggling with tyre problem in Austin which made him to be only finish at 8^th and after deep breaking from other rider on Argentina who made him wide ride and need to  go back home on 4^th place, finally here on Jerez in the track he loves so much, he got it, and another great achievements for the 9 times world champion is because after QP with very brave he announced to use new chassis, which he think it can be better when he try to wear Extra hard front tire for race, while we all know already the old chassis can’t receive good for the extra hard tyre. And finally all the risk decision he took can save him to get his 2^nd spot in Jerez after the last one in 2010 he got podium here, and he also so proud with this achievements and make him on fire to face the race remain on 2014 to make him stronger on world standing. At this moment he stands on 3^rd spot for World Standing MotoGP2014.

We need to say it again and again I though….. Valentino Rossi is Valentino Rossi, with his own style and good calculation he can be so brave to take decision which maybe other can’t brave enough to try. It teach to us one more think .....

“Life is about how you brave enough to take any risk from any decision you made for it, life is about 2 sides of coin, when you go with all the risk and success come after and you are blessed, when you can’t reach what you want on it, for me its not a failure but it’s a tremendous lesson of life. Better you going with some risk rather than you only stay on your place without any improvement. Life only one time, with a brilliant calculation we can handle any risk be a wonderful result. ~ dsulistiyo

 Always be brave in smart way Popologiallo. Love you Valentino Rossi.

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

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.

First Day MotoGP 2013 Iveco TT Assen Bring Happiness and Sad thing for Yamaha Factory

Valentino Rossi didn't get a good result on his home race Mugello due the crashed on the first lap of the race got hit by Alvaro Bautista when he sliding after trying to pass riders for get a good start. But Valentino Rossi keep face it with calm and positive think, he more choose to forget about that incident and think about the next race in Catalunya and the result was good he can finished on 4th position, even without any good battle but at least he can got a point after zero score in Mugello.

On the last of July time for Assen to be the host of MotoGP for round 7 of 18 for this year. As we know Assen is one of favorite circuit for Valentino Rossi and we need to expect more because on the last test in Aragon before Assen, VR46 team found the good break setting who can help him to more confident and fast in the corner, and which is the good point after so many problem he had after back to Yamaha.

On the 1st day of Practice Iveco TT Assen Yamaha Factory team had happy and sad thing in the same time. While Valentino Rossi had very good improve and made him able to finish on 2nd place on Free Practice 2 but not good news happened with Jorge Lorenzo who got nasty crashed and make him must back to Barcelona for collarbone surgery and really not good at all when the schedule for next race Sachsenring and Laguna Seca very close with Assen.

But the team still optimist, Jorge Lorenzo can comeback to the race soon at Sachsenring and the operation he did also success and didn't have any problem. So all the MotoGP riders really hope Jorge Lorenzo will come back soon and make the championship still shining and we hope also with the improve of Valentino Rossi when the team is complete will be brilliant to get some battle with duo Honda who really fast and consistent.

This situation force Valentino Rossi be the one and only rider from Yamaha factory who need get a good point for the team, so he will have big motivation than before to face Assen race and also he has some good words for his team mate to get well soon and comeback to the track as soon as possible. We always know he always do the best with the good feeling on front will be good also for him to more confident on the track. We always hope and pray the best for rider with number 46, and we also miss his smile on podium. He never give up and we know about it.

Valentino Rossi smile from 1st day Free Practice Monster Energy Grand Prix De France MotoGP 2013

Every smile has a different reason, so create your own reason and smile with it. As Valentino Rossi did this day on Free Practice 1 and Free Practice 2, he made his face full with happy smile and the reason is because he can control the balance of the bike on every corner of Le Mans track.

As we know Valentino Rossi still not comfort enough with his baby M1, he still need to find the truly balancing but he has few things to try and he like the Le Mans track so with all his big motivation, he can proved to us one more time is Nothing impossible when we keep trying and doing with full of heart.

At the beginning of FP1 Valentino Rossi quite far done to 7th  place and then he comeback to his pit told to the team what he felt with the bike and he jump to 3rd place on the last minute before FP1 end with the gap +0.253 with the fastest Dani Pedrosa. Quite interesting when we look the gap between Dani Pedrosa, Jorge Lorenzo, Valentino Rossi and Marc Marquez on the first practice, we can imagine the hot race on Le Mans will be come for us.

One more time on Second Free Practice the last result make us believe that the Le Mans race will be the begin of the real and hot race for this season, the gap between the 1st place Dani Pedrosa and the 10th place by Aleix Espargaro only +1.010 seconds and it's close for the top 10. And Marc Marquez  for 2nd +0.134 he got on the last minute before FP2 closed. And the gap Valentino Rossi who finished 3rd is +0.138 seconds. Tight very tight and it's cool.

So for everybody who love this sport I will warning you don't leave your TV, computer or anything related with MotoGP screen, because the Interesting race will be show on Le Mans circuit.

And for all Valentino Rossi fans keep remember "When we love something with patience and pure heart we will get something more than we ever think", just like Valentino Rossi always show to us "Difficult is some part of the real life but with difficult we can learn how to get the real happiness".

Race Result MotoGP Jerez 2013

May have to be destiny for Jerez circuit has always been the site of the dramas are unforgotten. One of popular words which pop up on Jerez was "his ambition is more than his talent" the quote came from the retired rider Casey Stoner after Drama happened between him and Valentino Rossi, no penalty from the race direction but lot of words from the rider with number 27.

And on 2013 the drama came again on this circuit between Marc Marquez and Jorge Lorenzo on the last lap, while Jorge Lorenzo lead on the 2^nd place , the young rider Marc Marquez saw a chance to get that place and he sure everything in the right way and he did it. In the corner names of Jorge Lorenzo corner as his birthday gift in Jerez  be a witness when he need to had a memory lost battle with the Wonder Boy Marc Marquez and force him to finished at third place and make him be 3^rd on world standing after Jerez race.

Jorge Lorenzo look very upset after that moment, he blanked Marc Marquez twice after the race,  but we need to thumb up with his patience to keep silent, so it’s really show the mature side of himself and it’s good. Just as some wise words said “Don’t talk anything when you very angry, keep silent, let it more cool first.” He did exactly what the wise word said and for me it’s good step from him. And we need to thanks with race direction to not give penalty for movement from Marc Marquez, because with the brave of him the show be great to watch.

As we know Valentino Rossi gap quite far from podium riders, he still struggling with the bike and also as we know he had a big crashed on Qualifying Practice and his main bike suddenly damage and the team with the limited time trying hard to fix it, so with the 4^th place he got that’s already good for him on this situation. We can’t said he not tried  hard on Jerez, Valentino Rossi already did the best with what he had, we can saw on the first lap when the bike still stable , he can overlap Marc Marquez very smoothly but when the bike getting slow , he can do nothing, he need to control the bike and the tyres to not too close with the riders behind and he manage with good so he can finished and get good point who made him oh 4th place for world standing.

Valentino Rossi still rider with very high class, when Dani Pedrosa be a winner on Jerez, Marc Marquez be 2nd place and Jorge on 3rd place with the drama on the last race, still the one who be the topic was Valentino Rossi, the drama between Marc and Jorge like Deja vu, the battle already happened in 2005 between Valentino Rossi and Sete Gibernau. And the topic run to Valentino Rossi again because Marc Marquez said he learn from the expert and he is Valentino Rossi.

Go Valentino Rossi, we still here support and believe with you, we already have three different winner for the first three round of MotoGP, we hope Le Mans the four round for MotoGP will have a different winner too and he's you Valentino Rossi. Ride and believe,  the M1 rib was come from you and she will still be yours.
