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.

  

Valentino Rossi Misano 2012 Podium for Marco Simoncelli

The Misano GP just finished with very dramatically happened since the start of the race until the end of the race. At first the race forced to stop due the technical engine of Karel Abraham and some other said the starting light didn't function as well as it must to be.

And due of that little incident, all rider need to do warm up lap for one more time, and the drama continue but for this time come for Dani Pedrosa, he look got trouble on his engine and need to start from the back of the grid, but the bad luck not stop until that after force hard to catch up the other riders, he got crashed but this time not because his own engine but his back  wheel touched by Hector Barbera, and make both of riders crashed in the first lap. Really sad to look it happened when he was very close to get point by point to be World Champion 2012. Always something happened to stop it and always not came from himself. I'm not his huge fan but too look like this really make me sad and unhappy.

While that happened Lorenzo lead the race and keep it until finish line and one again make him strong on world standing to get his 2nd MotoGP World Champion 2012. But the one make all MotoGP lover extremely happy is Valentino Rossi. With all the charisma he has, he ride the bike very comfort even Stefan Bradly following tightly from behind. While they all try the best lap by lap, at the moment on lap 5, Cal Crutchlow crashed and out from his 5th place and he look hurtt with his leg but at the end of the race he on his official twitter account just said it will ok and will try again at Aragon.

And Valentino Rossi with his new frame and swing arm more focus and strong on his 2nd position, while the battle happened for 3rd place between Stefan Bradl, Alvaro Bautista and Andrea Dovizioso. But as we know Misano GP is MarcoGP #SuperSic, so believe or not, the power of him just come to push Alvaro Bautista's bike and make him can all out and get the 3rd place after did some battle against Andrea Dovizioso with a gap only +0.003 second (I don't know actually how to count so accurate like that)

And the real champion is of course Valentino Rossi, we know lot of riders can finish on 2nd place but when it was Valentino Rossi after very difficult season for him with that bike, it's really something amazing for all crowds about 45.000 people at Misano circuit and for millions of fans on around the world. He just show to us what the meaning of racing, what the meaning of never give up. Just clearly in every dark we will find the light. 

Really precious podium, Valentino Rossi finished 2nd place as Marco Simoncelli best friend and Alvaro Bautista for 3rd place as Marco Simoncelli Team.

Pieces Puzzle of MotoGP 2013 Almost Complete

Before Misano finally we know officially that's Ben Spies the rider from Yamaha Factory Team 2011 & 2012 will switch to Pramac Ducati Team which mean we can call it Satellite team. And the youngs rider will accompanying him for next year is the Italian Moto2 rider who very close with the nine times World Championship Valentino Rossi and he is Andrea Iannone.

For me I'm understand when Iannone move to satellite Ducati , it means for him he up class but I still wonder when Spies very brave to take offer from Ducati satellite, although that team said they both will get the same engine and specification with Nicky Hayden and Andrea Dovizioso on Ducati Factory Team. But with very difficult we can saw from Valentino Rossi for almost two seasons and also the hard to ride from other riders of that bike, is really very brave decision take by the American Ben Spies. Really looking forward to see him for next year. Maybe with what Valentino Rossi and the Ducati team did for the last two year and the join of Audi to this bike would be nice to see them improve and doing some battle with the other bike. Will be very very interesting to watch.

So with the rule one brand of bike only can bring 2 bikes for factory team and two bikes for satellite team, means we just need to wait Gresini Honda Team. This year they only have one rider from Spain is Alvaro Bautista, who on this year not so brilliant like before he did with Suzuki bike. But he still have a chance to get the seat but so many rumor said the Gresini Team seat will be offer to Scott Redding and Jonathan Rea rider who replace Stoner when he in recovery after his big crashed. But we still don't know yet until official announcement will come out. At least we need to watch first what Rea will bring from his first ride with Factory Honda bike on Misano race. And I hope he will goes well because he rides the best bike on this season. Let's wait and see.

When Gresini team announce his rider for next year it will make force some good riders to find another solution for next year. After notable seat for Factory and satellite the choice for them only CRT bike or move to Moto2 class. And it’s really not good at all. When we look good rider can't get a good bike to ride on this championship. The Organizer need to think fast for this problem and make this Championship safe and interesting to we watch.

And Just got confirmation from @birtymotogp timeline that's Karel Abraham will ride on MotoGP class with ApAprilia ART bike in CRT with Cardion AB Team. And for Hector Barbera, he still on some talks with various CRT bikes. Alvaro Bautista too already thinks to ride on CRT if he doesn’t get the satellite seat.

So for a while here the puzzle already done for MotoGP 2013 :

Factory Team:

- Honda: Dani Pedrosa and Marc Marquez

- Yamaha: Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo

- Ducati: Nicky Hayden and Andrea Divizioso

Satellite team:

- Yamaha: Cal Cruthlow and Bradley Smith 

- Ducati: Ben Spies and Andrea Iannone

- LCR: Stefan Bradl

And for CRT, honestly I really don't know who the riders will ride there, only the one I'm sure is Colin Edwards with NGM Forward and Karel Abraham

Hope the grid not too short for next year and hope the gap between bike to other bike not too far also. We need the old MotoGP back with the great Free Practice, Qualifying and also great Race. We love this sport a lot.

By the way I would like to say thanks to the great MotoGP writer I ever know, who very nicely to reply my question to their official account @birtymotogp and @motomatters , you help me to understand more about this sport and it's so brilliant. Thank you very much.

August 14th, Valentino Rossi Words to Ducati

August 14^th always be my special day. All my friends always sent me greetings and the one make me happy they always connect their  greetings with Valentino Rossi and lot of them give me present related with Valentino Rossi, also I got greetings from people who close with Valentino Rossi … they are Davide Brivio and Matteo Flamigni, really make my day……What a wonderful moment.

Just felt I’m very close with him as an idol. And on the date year by year , valentine Rossi doing something  always make me happy, what he did, … not related with me honestly but something make me as a fans happy and proud to have him.

And for this year on my special day, Valentino Rossi stops his silent, after official announcement that he will return to Yamaha for next two years.

Pic 1

He update on his official twitter account @ValeYellow46 in Italian (Pic 1), translate in English by @motomatters :  "It’s a real shame we could not be competitive with the Ducati, would have been very satisfying for me and for everyone, who worked with me and kept trying until the end. It would have been great, for all our fans, I’m sorry. But there are still 8 races to go, we will do our best to do some good race, see you at Indy”

We can see on his official statement, typing by himself how he was  so pleased with this situation, he just tell to us the bike can be competitive on the time, but his time is not enough waiting due his age. And he said sorry for all who maybe not agree with his decision. With his popularity he is so humble to said sorry like that and it’s the one make him so big and so lovable 

He knows maybe lot of bad comments will come with his decision also lot of risk if he can’t competitive next year. But trying is the thing we could not stop in any situation. Wheel is round and it keep turning  and could be on top or  on the bottom,  keep moving and always do the best.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

Valentino Rossi And Yamaha for MotoGP 2013 - 2014

4 days before my Birthday on August, 10th 2012 finally to be witness of Valentino Rossi return to his blue baby for 2013 and 2014. After said good bye on Valencia and wearing shirt "Bye Bye Baby", the love story blossomed again between Valentino Rossi and his lady Yamaha M1.

Lot of fans is happy on his decision but many other fans are confused, sad and doubt with this decision. But it was natural things, as a fans who adore with him so much the one we always see from him is his spirit never give up, his smile in every race, even we never find his smile on both his lips and his eyes for almost one and half year. Too many hard things, too many crashes, too many tear on his married with the red lady.

But our loves add day by day, because we can see how incredible his mentalities to face the difficult moment like this. But Valentino Rossi is human like we all here, who have limit and maybe it was the limit, he has a good rider deserve to get a competitive bike. And he had decided. For me it was brave decision from him who chose to back to his past. When he can get a winning with this bike, he will be the winner on this game but if he can't be number one again, lot of people maybe will think different.

46 with this livery was awesome

If you ask me honestly the answer is I want to look him stay read and tame the bike but with very clear mind and my heart say the decision is the best way for all, him self, this sport (MotoGP) and all his fans. 

we'll miss this moment for next year, 
the perfect combination

He can ride orange, blue, red, blue again and many different colors but we’re his fans will stay together support him on yellow spirit because we're Yellow Army.

Good luck for next year and the rest of this season, I hope you will get some podium with the Duke.
