Valentino Rossi return to Yamaha on 1st day Valencia MotoGP test

13 November 2012 is the gate opening towards for 2013 session, time for new era of many junior riders from moto2 to motogp and the rise of Valentino Rossi after two years hard difficult moment with the red lady.

All media fully the box of Yamaha not because on 2012 the team be a world champion but most of them come to see the M1 bike with the famous rider Valentino Rossi.

The weather from the morning describe the nuances the return of the king to his palace. But no need to wait long Valentino coming out with his baby and all media who be a witness of Valentino Rossi return just said “He looks more comfort to ride than the last 2 years” so without we look the time to the rainy of Valencia, the important for us his fans to know is he more confident with the front end of that bike. Yeah not much information we can get from Valentino himself due in technically he still under the contract with Ducati until end of December and he can’t talk about return to Yamaha until the contract ended. All people cover in contract must be professional and respect each other.  Appreciate.

On the very important first test of 2013 lot of riders just sitting on the garage due the rain, Jorge Lorenzo only get out from the box to eat an apple and look the joy of the Yamaha garage with Valentino Rossi inside. Cal Crutchlow who stay on the old team Yamaha tech 3, Bradl Smith, Dani Pedrosa, Petrucci, Byrne and the new king on MotoGP Marc Marquez did,t do any lap today. Marc more concentration to know better the meaning and function of electronic of the bike, because is really new thing from him, who jump from Moto2 to Factory team MotoGP and break the rule.

And the garage who interesting for media beside Yamaha with valentine Rossi, also the garage of Ducati team, actually not for Nicky Hayden who very strong on the wet track on the first test and as we know since before Ducati very strong on the wet track, but more for Andrea Dovizioso who very brave enough to try to team the Red lady after the ladies make all Valentino Rossi team run into anxiety in last two years. And Also Andera Dovizioso can talk with all media because Dovi is coming from satellite contract, so the treatment of the contract different with factory team. Dovi said so simply He can’t describe and talk a lot about his new bike because the test not maximal and he need to understand more in normal weather. Wise talk from rider with number 4.

And finally after did 28 laps by Valentino Rossi and he put smile on his lips, the team decided to move and doing test at Aragon for hope the weather more be friendly to help the team know better the improve and the need of the bike and special for Valentino Rossi, he need to understand more because love come from the both side, the rider and the bike.

Good luck and we wish the best and we need the rise of MotoGP with your return. We love you in every color bike you are because in us Valentino Rossi is Yellow. 

Before the result of the test bellow, I would like to put quote or like some figure out  come from MotoGP legend Texas Tornado from his twitter @texatornado5 : “1 Year on a factory Yamaha or Honda is 1 year of our life, 1 year on Ducati is 3 years and 1 year on Suter BMW …10 years.” Simple and honest and draw all thing situation for whole.

The Friendly of Gino Rea

Knowing him for the first time after watching commercial break in Indonesian Television for Federal Oil, and I started following him on his official twitter @GinoRea . To be honest he's a nice rider who often reply some messages from his fans and sometime he can start to sending message first to his fans. As we all know, not much riders who is famous or not famous yet, want to reply messages  from their fans on twitter, but he did quite often.

And I met directly with him for the first time at Motegi Paddock October 13th 2012. When I called his name and introduced my self, he replied my greeting with very friendly. When I told him I came from Indonesia, he recognized that I'm one of his fans who sometime he  replied on twitter. Our conversation went as we are a friend who ever met before and for me it's so pleasant to met a very nice and friendly rider like him, but the conversation was stopped because  he should immediately go to prepare qualifying practice.

At Motegi race day 14th October I met with him again and only just say hello, because as we know race day always be a very busy day for all riders. Not many riders come out from their box, they all must be busy discussing with their team and preparing for the best result on the race. He started the race from 28th place and finished the race for 25th, without any point. 

A week later I got a chance meeting Gino Rea again at Sepang circuit, and he was very friendly and nicely talked with his fans like the old friend. In our conversation I asked him about the possibility to come to Indonesia to promote the Oil product who sponsoring him. And he answered "Actually they invite me to Indonesia after Sepang race, but they canceled the schedule. For myself it was eager to come there and meet with Indonesian fans but maybe it's not the time yet"

It’s really great attitude for him and before the race started I said to him "Good luck for this race and thank you very much for your kindness. I'm sure you will get a good race here". At the wet race of Sepang circuit it's really love to watched when finally he able to grab his first podium on the very worst weather. Before the red flag stopped the race due  to the weather, Gino Rea very strongly ride his bike and finished third behind Anthony west and Alex de Angelis for first place.

I'm not his huge fans but I'm very happy to look him on the podium. He's very talented and rides well his bike and he was being so friendly also with me and all his fans. He really deserved to get his first podium on Moto2 with Gresini Suter machine. Congratulation Gino Rea, next year we wish will often to see you on podium and grab some point.

Every effort and hard work will bring a worth results at the time. To be a champion can be achieved  by learning and experience but to be a nice guy is only can come from the heart and you have it x

MotoGP Sepang 2012 for Marco Simoncelli

After very great trip for Motegi GP, I got a chance to watch live MotoGP Sepang 2012 for couple times. But this time is a bit different felt in here. It was make us remember with the very talented rider who has very lovely attitude who passed away on this circuit last year.

Even the weather can feel the deep sorrow; rains came and make the situation of this event so touching. On Thursday all MotoGP peoples paid attribute to Marco Simoncelli on turn 11 the place of very tragic moment for the great rider from Italy Marco Simoncelli who more lovable we called him SuperSic.

Throughout this event from Friday Practice until Sunday race, rain always come to accompanied us. And lot of riders got crashed from Moto3 also MotoGP. Track was very slippery and wet. 

And the surprise come from Moto2 championship, all the riders can got the podium is truly not one we previously thought, after two time crashed for Marc Marqueze forcing him to stop the race and delay getting the title of Moto2 World Champion 2012 at Sepang, and Iannone who struggle a lot with this wet condition only able to finished at 6th place. But very elegant win for Alex De Angelis for finished first place a head of Anthony West and Gino Rea (One story special for Gino Rea)

And for the Malaysian spectators was very proud to know their rider Zulfahmi Khairuddin can get the 2nd podium on his birthday, what a special birthday gift ever for him.

And for MotoGP championship we can say it's good to watch Dani Pedrosa for one more time win the battle with Jorge Lorenzo after the red flag due the heavy rain there and seven laps left can't continue because the universe wants it. And it's very special win for Dani because it was the first time he can win on the wet condition. 

Ducati team had a very positive race on this circuit after started from fourth row Valentino Rossi can jump on 5th position and had a good battle with Dovizioso and Casey Stoner. And it was give us all his fans some chance to saw our hero back on the podium, but unlucky on the turn 7 he running out from the track but still grateful he can still ride on the track, not got crashed like the other riders Bradl, Dovizioso and Spies (who made Spies need to do surgery on his shoulder and close the fight on this year). After back to 9th place Valentino Rossi fighting back and finally he can reach 5th place. And Nicky Hayden for 4th place.

I just keep thinking MotoGP 2012 exactly more entertain than MotoGP 2011 but still too much boring. But we can hope for next year when he come back again to his baby M1 and fight on the place he should be and give us some interesting battle again.

Fantastic Podium at Motegi 2012 for Alvaro Bautista

MotoGP Motegi 2012 was very fantastic moment for me, because for the first time I came to this circuit after so many times I dream to be in here. I will write about my trip at Motegi on the other article. I think not only me who think it was fantastic moment but one of so many people is must be Alvaro Bautista. The Gresini rider with the Japanese bike, did very well battle until the final lap with the British rider Cal Crutchlow with his Yamaha bike and its Japanese bike also. 

I can saw very clearly on the awesome track how great and confident Alvaro ride his bike lap by lap after on  Saturday at Motegi he just renew his contract from one year again with Gresini racing. So maybe that thing gave him more spirit in Japan GP.

After the race he very nicely take a pic with some fans and talk a bit with me about how his felt after got a great weekend on Japan for his racing carrier.

Motegi also special for Casey Stoner because on this circuit he return back after rest from his recovery from Indianapolis injury and like we know with the very fast bike he has he able to finished at 5th place. And with his not 100% condition of cause it was very special podium for him.

The other who very impressive on Japan GP is when Dani Pedrosa finally can beat Lorenzo and made him still able to continue the dream to be MotoGP World Champion 2012. At least we not too early to know who will be the next World Champion, even Lorenzo still the one who has a big chance to get it again for 2 times on this class. I'm not fans of Dani Pedrosa and Jorge Lorenzo, but I thanks to them to keep the battle for World Champion 2012 alive. 

Valentino Rossi always the most rider who get so many attentions from fans so lovely to see atmosphere of Japanese fans. Will write special story with him at Motegi.

Thanks a lot Valentino Rossi too always make us worth it to watch this championship even I need to fly so many kilo meters to meet with you and you always has a million way to made your fans happy. We always here to support and cheer you. We do love you Valentino Rossi 

MotoGP Aragon 2012 for Dani Pedrosa and Valentino Rossi

The five last MotoGP12 at Aragon circuit is very entertaining with all riders from Moto2, after a great overtaking by Iannone, who almost take a first podium at Aragon but at the end he miss out the podium after great battle with Marc Marquez for 2nd position, he also lost battle with Scott Redding for 3rd podium and the 1st podium finally for Pol Espargaro. But we need to honest Moto2 gave us a fresh blow after so many boring race from MotoGP.

But for Spanish GP of Aragon, The race of the Kings MotoGP went quite interesting, after disaster last race at Misano for Dani Pedrosa, he just come back strong and show his class. At the beginning he just following Jorge Lorenzo for 2nd place but after 6laps, Dani Pedrosa found his direction with the bike and slowly but sure he just over take Lorenzo and take a lead until finish line with very interesting gap + 6.472.

As we know Dani Pedrosa had a birthday at Sept 29 at this podium be the special present for his birthday. The lovely words come from him on his interviewed is " I tried to maintain my rhythm and put some good laps  in, so I was able to open up a good gap and the nice was working well overall especially in the corners. Thanks to all of the mechanics, my fans and my family - this victory is for them."

Lorenzo still lead the World Standing Championship even he just took 2nd place at Aragon, the gap for World standing with Dani Pedrosa is about 33 point. But at least we still can have a chance to guess who will be the next World Championship for MotoGP 2012 at the end of this season.

For the 3rd place at Aragon three riders from Yamaha, 2 satellites Andrea Dovizioso and Cal Crutchlow with one Factory rider Ben Spies, have a good show for us. And at the end of the race Andrea Dovizioso come strong to get the podium for six times as he ride for Yamaha Tech 3 on MotoGP 2012. Brilliant ride by him on satellite bike and we all can't wait to see his performance with the factory team Ducati for next year. Hope he can tame the bike just like he did with Yamaha Tech 3.

Cal Crutchlow needs to be happy after lose battle with his team mate and finished at 4th place. And this time after very difficult season of Ben Spies on Yamaha 2013 he just takes good points here and finished strong at 5th place.

Jonathan Rea who ride for replace Stoner while he on recovery from the injured who get so many cheer for MotoGP fans to continue race on MotoGP just doing great with Honda RCV213V strong enough to take point on 7th place, only one step behind Alvaro Bautista.

And for Ducati team, once again it will be very hard season for them, Nicky Hayden got very terrible crashed, he jump out from the bike, hit the barrier of the circuit and crash out from the track area. Thanks God he's very luck, he wear very good leather and helmet to protect his body and he's not get any difficult injured. But yes it was really bad crashed ever happened on circuit with very empty area. 

Valentino Rossi who always get so many attention from fans and media with whatever he finish for, after miss track on the first lap after touching with Jonathan Rea and forced him to out from the track and make him on the last position. But like we all know Valentino Rossi is Valentino Rossi, fight to the max with what he has and no need to wait long he passed CRT bike very fast and jump into 12th place and finished strong and proud on the 8th place. We all sure without the "mistake" on the first lap he can fight for 6th with Bautista, but whatever truly amazing to saw your spirit Vale. You're so complete for us, not only for yours fans but also for all who love this sport and for all people around the world. Your spirit is the force to make us always and always support you.
