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!    

The Motivation of Valentino Rossi – MotoGP Qatar 2015

Finally the first race of MotoGP 2015 held at Losail circuit Qatar, with mega lighting for the special night race, made the race more dramatic. Lot of spectator coming from so many different country just only come to be witness who will be the fastest on the opening of this championship.

At The Grandstand not that full but there all spectator have they own flag to support their riders and can’t deny it the most flag that we can show at that night was Yellow flag for valentine Rossi. One of the spectator was me who really enthusiast to know who will be standing on the first podium.

As I came there to support the one and only Valentino Rossi, of course this quite tense on me due the result of the practice not that good as we want as a fans, but many time I asked with the guys  from Valentino Rossi team, they make me very confident that everything  gonna be alright. But when from the qualifying result only took Vale to start from 8^th place, it’s make me little bit uncertain what wrong actually will happen on the race  plus the Ducati which look very strong in every race. 

Even though we knew that Ducati at this moment still have some different  rule  compare with Honda and Yamaha Factory Team, due the condition of the bike, so for this year Ducati team still have 12 engine and 22 fuel in every race. But we can see that the result of the Red team really consistant in every practice they made especially on the straight track. 

We are believe Valentino Rossi is Sunday rider, he always find his way to be fast and to always give the great show from fans around the world, so with all the confident all Yellow Army standing and ready for cheer Vale.  And when the race started, Valentino Rossi still on his position while Jorge Lorenzo, Andrea Doviziosoand Andrea Iannone already flying to be the fast three and unlucky for the World Champion 2014 Marc Marquez , ran off at Turn one and forced him to be on the last position for almost half of race and losing a time to overtake one by one riders to be able joint on the front party, but time not enough so he need to be happy to finally finish at 5^th. Even though for the 11 point Marquez need to do bad overtake at turn 6 on first lap and touching Bautista bike and forced Bautista to stop due the damaging the front left brake lines and the sensors. But until the end of the race not have any investigation of that overtake.

Continue to how Valentino Rossi performance all over the race, after start from 8^th on the grid and ran back to 10^th, he was trying to find the beat of the riding style of him and finally after couple laps he able to passed one by one riders in front of him and get strong place at 5^th after took that place from Honda rider Pedrosa and he not stop until that place, he did battle with Harnandez for get his 4^th place. As we always say Valentino Rossi is Valentino Rossi, nobody can stop his motivation, he always has the new energy and new power with very epic way.

The four last lap be the very incredible race for Dovizioso, Iannone, Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi. They four keep to having a good pace of the position but unlucky for Jorge Lorenzo he need to move on from the big three competition due his helmet problem and need to be accept got his 4^th place. And mean Valentino Rossi Joint into big three and fighting to able close with 2^nd from Andrea Iannone. It must be admitted that The Ducati really strong on the straight track but Valentino Rossi not less strategy, will impossible to bet them in straight track so he used his amazing skill in every corner and no doubt with very incredible overtaking he close the race to be number 1. Got 25 point made him lead the position in the world championship.

It’s only first race from 18 races which will be held in 2015 but with this good start result race from  Valentino Rossi, we can put some hope to see him reach his 10^th times World Championship and to see the good race with a new record that very big possibility he will earn.

To be good rider not only able to ride fast but need to have brilliant motivation and keep believe that nothing can be so difficult if you doing that with all your heart.

Go Valentino Rossi, keep shinning and keep yellow

The 2014 year for valentine Rossi is very important for his whole career after suffered on the 2 years to tame the Red bike and comeback to his baby on 2013 and not have very good synergy on the first year bike but on this year almost in every race held by, The Doctor always able to put himself and the baby on the podium even though we can’t see his smile yet on the highest podium.

His charisma still attached tightly on him self, no riders at this moment can able to even near by to his charismatic, lot of other riders having a great talent but no body can have complete package style as Valentino Rossi has, in my view. Magical of Valentino Rossi is so incredible.

And finally the time we waiting just came, this victory more than only victory for Valentino Rossi, not only because with this win made him able to break new record to be the first riders who achieve 5,000 points across all the classes, but this win also his first win in Misano since Misano 2009 and it more special because the first win of him with his baby this years happened on his home race  at the Gran Premio TIM di San Marino e della Riviera di Rimini or we more familiar to called this circuit with Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli and as we know clearly how close the friendship between both of him and how the way Valentino Rossi always remembering his friend in every single activity he doing. As the Misano is his home town race also the spectator who almost all of them came for cheer and supporting him of course made the crowd getting wild and incredible happy with this winning.

Hilarious and full of joy for all his fans around the world and also for this sport, we never boring to always look the way he ride and the way he celebrate all the victory he get. Why it looks so mega ? … the answer is totally easy and sure, because the one who get it is the magical of MotoGP with the name of Valentino Rossi. The one who always able to change from Victory be big spirit for everybody who following this sport. He not only riding his baby but he share all passion he has for this sport, the love  he has for all his fans and the high skill of Valentino Rossi on the way he reach this win.

Now after very great and sensational winning on his career, he began to stringing what would be achieved this year after his next 2 years contract he already had with Yamaha. And as we know Valentino Rossi always so humble and realistic, We already know to put goal this year to reach 10^th time World champion is not possible due the strong of Marc Marquez with his Honda this year, so he put to using the momentum winning in Misano be the booster to be Runner up for this year, due his world standing score only different one point with the Spanish rider Dani Pedrosa. And from all of it also to be able to put more target for the next year and with what we look for, nothing impossible when we do everything with all passion we have, focus, keep trying and believe. 

For the entire ideals goal that we want to achieve, we always need passing through the journey that requires patience and confidence. When everyone doubted and scoffed at what we dream about, as long as we believe and strive, in some point always we will find the key to open the door, there is always a hammer to destroy the thick wall, because in every dark in the night we will always find the bright of morning sun -dsulistiyo-
