Hard to argue that everybody who love bike sport really miss and excited to watch the 1^st season ever in 2014, and hard to believe that finally when it came and gave us the best race ever since so long after so many electronic on the bike. The Losail 2014 really made Awesome opening to start this championship.

Since practice went with so many surprise from open class bike and lots of confuse prediction due the unbelievable result and many more out from prediction. And the shocking one when Valentino Rossi after very positive result in All Winter test only able to start on 10^th. The prediction more difficult to see, only Marc Marquez with his not 100% condition who gave almost valid to our prediction will be on big 3 podium.

We all expecting some surprise will come from the 3 class of MotoGP create by Dorna on 2014, some interesting race and it was come true. The race just went with very brilliant battle and so much fun.

The one rider who have big smiling after the Qatar race done is Valentino Rossi, we can’t doubt it when we see again and again who the magic come from the 35^th year Italian rider. He was little bit struggling on the free practice and qualifying and start hardly from 10^th  but we all know him and never put any doubt with spirit from 9^th time World Champion. We can see from 2 years he on the red bike, with the hard condition he always all out and giving 146% to make race be real race and to make spectator happy to watch. On this season after 1 years comeback to Yamaha, Valentino Rossi more confident with the bike because he and team already build the bike be as what he need and he prove it, he run fast on the first lap with his good start and on the last 1^st lap he already able strongly on 5^th place passed some riders behind. With his patiently he face the track lap by lap and overtake Bradley Smith for 4^th position and made him able to attacked Alvaro Bautista with very smoothly move in the corner and strongly got 3^rd place. And he never stop to trying with high skill he has and he passion to this sport he able to doing good and get 2^nd position and need to have battle with Marc Marquez.

And here we go the real race happened between idol and fan, as we know Marc Marquez is so adore with Valentino Rossi and he is young and talented after got his World Champion last year no body doubt his skill. He’s doing so well to keep his position and Valentino Rossi also did the best with all card he has, we can’t remember how many time the overtake happened the one we remember we saw a great race ever after long break season. And finally Valentino Rossi need to say that Marc Marquez deserved to get the 1^st podium, he is faster and one more time we can see how humble Valentino Rossi is, after passed finish line, he shake hand with Marc Marquez and he show to us the real meaning of sportive is.

When you have a good skill to be number one, you also need to have great attitude because the real champion not only being able to bring trophy home but also able to make fans bring the good meaning from what we did.

Valentino Rossi is My Hero MOTOGP 2014

Meet Valentino Rossi for all fans and for all who adore with him is very great experience. Also for me as one of the million of his fans always got the chance to meet and talk with him, and every time I meet him, all of my body was always shaking because of his charisma and lots of charming of the living legend.

At this time, I get my luckiness again to watch The 1st test of 2014 Season and came to the Press Conference of Yamaha.  At the first, this press conference went very well as it should be and finished with very successful. All media came to the stage for interviewing all riders and as usual Valentino Rossi have more a lot of attention.

And after that all finish I just standing beside the stair of the stage, don’t even want to bother of  journalist to find information, after the interview finish Valentino Rossi walking to the stair and when he look at me, he just stop and smile and said :

VR :  “heyyy, how are you?” 

 I really shock and look with unbelievable eyes, only saw him already make my body shaking how about when he greets me first! It was such and unforgettable moment ever!!  

Me: “I’m doing good, how are you? Very happy to look your 1st day result test”

VR : “Thanks for support…” (with his humble smile while patting my shoulder friendly)

And he went up again to the stage because need to do some interview with four media Television.

Really unbelievable, The biggest rider ever on this sport who have million fans can remember with his fans. It happened to me not only one time, he already couple of times greet me first even only for couple of second but it’s really greatest  attitude come from the amazing rider.

And After that, I went up to the stage only for chat up with other Yamaha riders, they all very nice. Valentino just finish 1 interview with TV media and when he look at me, I just don't brave to say want photo with him due with his busy time but Valentino Rossi maybe understands that I’m coming only to see him and he gives his busy time to come and took a photo with me. One of his management said “Not time for photo Valentino, you still have 3 media again to interview” with Italian accent very polite and friendly.

Valentino Rossi and Dsulistiyo

VR : “Ok, it’s ok I only take a photo for a minute with her” (smile look at me and talk a little bit with me while he embrace my shoulder as he always do with all his fans) 

Me : “Thank you Valentino Rossi, you really kind" 

VR : (Smile…)

And after that he continue and sitting on his bike for doing some  interview again.

See…I have nothing again to say, Valentino Rossi is a very different idol, he gave his busy time for always treat well his fans. He knows so well that he is busy, he knows so well that he have million fans , and he knows so well how to make his fans keep loyal with him.

After that Press Conference I can slept very tight, I always believe that I’m very proud to be his fans, I put my adore in the right person.

On the next day February 5th, the 2nd day of 1st MotoGP test 2014, I come to the circuit around 10am, walking around the paddock and chat with some journalists in media center. Look the result of the Valentino Rossi’s test is still not get the best shape on the timesheet, but as we already understand the test is going not for be fastest but to know and understand the placing and to try lots of setting to find the weaknesses and the goodness from the bike for the input to the engineering and mechanic. But before lunch time Valentino Rossi found the best setting and jump up to the big 3 and finish the test on 2nd place.

Around 2pm, my luckiness come again to me, Yamaha give a chance to visit Yamaha’s paddock and for me it’s truly the first experience I never think it will happened to me. Not many people can get this chance, but I can be 1 of them lucky, so happy.

Valentino Rossi Box, Feb 4th 2014

And it’s truly as destiny for me, at the moment Valentino Rossi already come back from the track and has discussion with the team. We don’t want to bother his work so we just only saw from very close how actually the team works on the box. Really incredible experience for me, and said thank you for all person who made it come true.

And one of Yamaha crew said like this to me: “You’re really lucky when other come to the box, Valentino ride  his bike on the track but you can meet him on the box, great!” (with his Japanese accent)

Corner 2 Sepang International Circuit, SSK

At the afternoon 2 hours before track close, I found my fortune again, I  get a chance  to get around to every corner of the Sepang circuit. It's not my first experience already had this chance before, but for now more special because I can really visit every corner  so I can see closly when  the riders doing breaking in every corner. Incredible show.

One of media Malaysia took photo of me on the corner 2 Sepang circuit and he just gave very great art result. The photo of me like use poster as a background but actually it was really riders on the track. Just brilliant idea for him.

The Star Newspaper, Feb 7th 2014

After all very great experience I got little bit surprise, one of photo me in the corner too publish in one of Malaysian Newspaper "The Star" , Greatly appreciated with the media which gives great appreciation away to fans.

I share it not  for make people jealous and hate me; I just want to share the humble spirit of Valentino Rossi. Once someday we can be a big people don’t ever forget with the humanity side.

Doing everything with full heart and people will notice by itself.

 Don’t ever give up because you never know when the result will come.

 When we  believe we can find way, when we trying hard we can find the result, when we do with love we can get everything we dream for ~ dsulistiyo

Thanks Valentino Rossi for every good things you gave to us: “Brave, consistence,  patience , high spirit  and the important one the humbleness”

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

Karel Abraham still feel lot of pain on shoulder MOTOGP 2014

Second day of 1st MotoGP test in Sepang was very unforgettable time for me, the atmosphere on the paddock feel warmer and so friendly. When I’m going down from the media center and looking around, the flamboyant rider Karel Abraham walking slowly around paddock and look hurt with his leg.

I just come there and had chit chat about the condition and the older time we met before. Just relax and very pleasure talking with him, and I a little bit curious with the way he walk.

Me:  “What’s wrong with your leg?

KA: (answered with smile) “Actually my leg is not too problem but my shoulder is still very pain after last year crashed.”  

Me: “Are you not have some surgery?” (Curious face) 

KA: “I did, all recovery also going very well as I feel, but yesterday when I tried to ride the bike, I feel not comfort again on my shoulder, pain” 

Me: “Hmm.. I think it’s the same problem as Valentino Rossi before on the last 4 years before when he had injured on his shoulder. Need long time recovery due to the pain sometimes comes back after did some braking with the bike” (Guess face...)

KA: (smile and shrugged his shoulders) “Not sure but maybe yes. I don’t have any conversation about it with him yet. But I feel the same after did some breaking, lots of pain.” 

Me: “hope it will be better soon before the Qatar race. Anyhow, how about your new bike, what engine do you use?”

KA : “Honda, and everything is very good, easy to ride and I like the chassis.”

Me : “Glad to hear that, hmm may I know what is the first thing that make you so in love with this sport? You not feel scary in the corner with very high speed? 

KA: “hmm.. since I was a little boy I already like this sport, yes… some people said it was scary and danger sport but I like to be on the bike. Enjoy…(smile with eyes think far) the feel on the corner is good I can’t describe it with word" 

Me : “Is it the same feel like when we in the roller coaster?”

KA : (laughing..) “Naaa…. It’s different, Roller coaster I think more scary, in the corner we feel so fun”

Me: (Imagine…) “hmm ok, keep safe ridding for you and enjoy 

KA : (smile)

Me : “Nice to talk with you Karel, hope we can see you more fit on the second test and can try for the maximum on your bike, good luck” 

KA : “I hope the same, thank you for the support”

Before we trully end it, we both trying take a photo but some problem happened with the camera but with very patiently Karel was waiting and smile and "zappp" photo just complete.

And then finally I need to end the very friendly conversation, short but lots of meaning.
We can see with the eyes clearly how brave all riders are. They know actually this sport sometimes danger, with the high speed, extreme track and competition inside must be so scary for ordinary people like me. But with love and passion the hard thing can be so enjoyable. 

Keep this sport safe and entertaining; show always to us the real meaning of it. Really can’t wait to watch the real race of MotoGP on Qatar when the journey really begins.

Scott Redding with MotoGP 2014

It’s been a while I’m not writing here, and time goes by so fast, The New Season of MotoGP2014 have just started. Not the race yet only the winter test at SepangCircuit, but the sound of the bike is incredibly enough for all this sport  fans to  release the longing to this highly bike championship.

Things that make this 2014 been waiting for is because some of the blind prediction already comes and make us feel more excited about how this season will be going. Is Valentino Rossi will improve with the baby M1 and make 10th, or could be Marc Marquez more impressive with his bike and grab the thropy again, than not possible Jorge Lornezo will push hard his bike to take back the tittle that regardless, perhaps as well Dani Pedrosa, Aleix Espargaro or another new riders make a surprise. Interesting!!!

I have my luckiness again to come and watch live how the test was going, some of the best thing is where I can be one of guests who come the Yamaha Press Conference 2014 on 4 February 2014, the first time we can see the 6 bikes of Yamaha on one stage.

Beside that I have some very amazing1st experience on Sepang Circuit. 

For this time I would share my walking interview with the British young rider who just upgrade his class from Moto2 to MotoGP after a very great result on Moto2 class 2013. Not only because he’s so great on the race he also nice and very kind person with the fans. It was not my first time met and have some good conversation about bike, we met last year in Sepang and Motegi and all the time it been always a very lovable time to chat with him.

Scott Redding was born on January 4^th, last year on Moto2 he rode the bike very well but due to with his crashed and injured, he will not be able to be the World Champion, but however we need to give a 4 thumbs up for his fight spirit.

Under the hot weather of SepangCircuit around 15.14, I visited his paddock and we had some great time together talk about his new experience on MotoGP class, we’re walking around the paddock to continue the conversation.

Nicely he said that he was remember our meeting in Motegi and we chat a little bit about our condition and without wasting any more time, I directly asked about his new bike and what he feel with it also about the different between Moto2 and MotoGP bike.

He looks very enthusiastic and answered : “I’m pretty happy with the bike but I can’t push it hard at this moment because lots of thing I need to know better. Yes the bike is very different, on Moto2 we don’t need much to control only ride like we ride the bike but in MotoGP lots of needed to be understood as electronic and breaking. The hard thing is in the corner, very hard to follow to find a great balance because it’s very fast bike. But overall the bike is good but on this time maybe the “other bike” faster than us but I’m sure on the second test we will have some speed on our bike. I just love to be back for riding again and I feel so happy with this bike”; and than we need to end the walking interview with some photo of us. At that time no body around us, so Scott have an idea to took camera by our self, me hold the camera and Scott help push the button. Very fun between rider and ordinary fans.

Good attitude Scot Redding and we believe with your spirit and skill, by joining on this championship the race will be more entertaining. Young, Fast, Brave and Kind. Keep your smile for this sport and all the fans.

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.

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.

Pic from @calcrutchlow insta

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.
