Goodbye MotoGP 2017 and welcome MotoGP 2018

So 2017 has passed. It was a year of excitement, a year of surprises. A year, where the best of the best showed that they can push the limits even further. Marc Marquez crashed 27 times until he won the title. As he said 27 and a half times. His safe in a race he did not have to win, but wanted to win almost lost him the title fight, but will be remembered for years. After lot of suffering on the first season he just try and try again and again until he can get the comfort back to his bike. So many good story he passed until he comeback strong to his bike.
Dovi did a great job, we all hoped he will make it and be the first Ducati world champion after 9 years, but finally just won the world championship of the hearts. But he showed, that if you work hard, even after years of trying you can suddenly be among the extraterrestrials. The key from him is believe and never give up.
Maverick Vinales looked like the new world beater after the first two races, but finally he got into the same trouble as Valentino, It got so far, that they struggled even against privateers and changed back to the 2016 bike without being as fast as Johann Zarco and Jonas Folger were with them. Zarco  made an incredible job, setting us all on fire and we can only hope he will continue like this also with the 2017 Yamaha. Even though some of movement he made on the track too aggressive but we can't blame him much, because this is race everybody want in the front as far as he can.
Dani Pedrosa showed at races, where it was hot, that he can be unreachable, if just the conditions are right. That he looks more and more like Henry Cavill (Superman) is a bonus. That he is getting more and more active in social media is another one. He really please all his fans with so many photo his update on his social media, and we happy with that for sure.
Valentino proved at Assen that he can still win, and he showed even more at Le Mans and Phillip Island, that he is still willing to do everything to win, even when it gets real tough. That's why we love him, that why he never alone in all races, all fans always following wherever he is. Every race of MotoGP for Valentino Rossi is always be home race because all the circuit always full with yellow. The incredible memory from 2017 is when he missing Misano GP due his injury and then he came back from his leg injury after 3 weeks, will make him immortal forever.
And Danilo Petrucci, who gave him a hard time at Assen is the funniest guy, the paddock had since Carlos Lavado.

But now the season is over, it is time to tun the page and go on for 2018. Valentino, Maverick and Yamaha are trying to forget that year and learn from the past. They take the 2016 bike and try to make a 2018 winner out of it. Jack Miller and Tito Rabat are learning the Ducati quick, Scott Redding learns how to fold 6 feet over a tiny Aprilia. Franco Morbidelli is desperate to prove he is a worthy Moto2 world champion stepping up to MotoGP, and Takaaki Nakagami is keen to prove there is another Japanese rider who can be among the very best. And Pol Espargaro can even smile and joke after 300 Jerez laps on the KTM. Great, boys, that's why we love you all!

Now it is time for you to enjoy your well deserved holidays. Valentino by winning his 6th Monza Rally and setting a new all time record. He would also have made a great rally driver in WRC. Marc Marquez and Dani Pedrosa had fun at the Honda Racing Thanks Day and Marquez showed greater skills with the drum sticks than the Japanese professionals. And he taught us there is life beside the tarmac on a Honda Super Cub. Thanks for that, Marc.  And Dovi showed once again his moto cross skills in a charity event.

Now we look forward, what Johann Zarco can do at the Superprestigio, hope that Jonas Folger will get well soon and impress like he did at Sachsenring. And really hope MotoGP 2018 will be the same excite as MotoGP 2017 or even more. And last but not least I really hope Valentino Rossi can make his 10, not only for him but also for this sport and for all his fans around the world.

All the best for all riders, see you in 2018!    

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

Proud to be Valentino Rossi Fans

Just today August 2nd, 2013 Ducati announce the new deal with the British rider Cal Crutchlow to ride with them for 2014 - 2015 as factory rider and come back to be team mate with Andrea Dovizioso who first move from Tech 3 to Ducati.

Lot of commented not too agree with the British rider decision, they all scare the red bike will make him slow and can't show his real potency. But we need to remember that we never know if we not brave enough to try it, Cal Crutchlow is rider that has lot of capability to try and reach his dream. Now one of his dream to be factory rider is come true, so this time he ready to fighting to reach another dream and it's maybe to be the big 5 on this championship with the difficult bike to tame. And when it can be true, then his name in this sport will bounced and make him be the few riders can tame Ducati.

After the hot news of Cal Crutchlow, we also have good news from this sport, on this day also Yamaha announced that Pol Espargaro will up from Moto2 to MotoGP and racing for Yamaha Tech 3. So he will take place of Cal Crutchlow and be team mate for Bradly Smith. But the special  one this official news come from Yamaha not tech 3 team, so it will be good move from the young rider who has brother in MotoGP Aleix Espargaro. We will see the good friendship between both of them on next year and it will be good to watch.

Now all the rider position for 2014 almost clear, but we still need to waiting any wind blow give a information  for the American rider Nicky Hayden who didn't have any team yet for 2014. Some news said he will stay on Ducati but for other championship but some rumor said he will stay ride in MotoGP but need to wait some time again to know where the team he will ride for. Whatever but Nicky Hayden deserves to get a good bike for next year and sure he can ride it well as he already did and made him be MotoGP world champion 2006.

Escape for all the hot market for MotoGP 2014, some issued come for the best and famous rider ever Valentino Rossi. After his smart way to take some interesting rider merchandise under his licensee and the speculation rumor came from the nine times world championship about his possibility to move to Suzuki in 2015, But Valentino Rossi is Valentino Rossi, with his smart way he clearly answer that he will not make same "mistake" and for the answered of switching to Suzuki is "No, Thank you".

For Valentino Rossi, Yamaha is his team and the important one M1 is his bike. And as long as I can fight for podium and victory he will stay with Yamaha (speedweek.com). And Valentino Rossi also talked to Speedweek he want to end in MotoGP in 2016, and he wish also he can stay in factory Yamaha team, after that he will think about himself as have family and do some fun things which not far from engine and track. That is Valentino Rossi, rider who blessed with lot of talent, with lot of charming, and not forget with lot of miracle. I'm so proud to be his fans, truly and really proud. And when some people and himself thinking that he failed with Ducati for two years, I have my own opinion, he not failed because he can get three times podium for this bike, but because he too big as we knew so what he achieve of course less than we hope.

We can see how big charisma of Valentino Rossi is. Because he always honest and gave a good answer for all media and make anything coming from his lips be so interesting and make us curious to know. Please keep your humble Valentino Rossi, we always proud to be your fans.
