FP III Motogp Jerman - Pedrosa Jatuh, Marquez Tercepat

AFP/Robert Michael


Saxony - Dani Pedrosa tak bisa mencatatkan waktu di sesi latihan bebas ketiga MotoGP Jerman setelah terjatuh cukup keras di lintasan. Sementara rekan Pedrosa di Repsol Honda, Marc Marquez, tampil sebagai pebalap tercepat di sesi ini.

Diwartakan situs MotoGP, Pedrosa jatuh di tikungan pertama ketika sesi ini baru berlangsung 15 menit pada Sabtu (13/7/2013) sore WIB. Meski saat itu melaju relatif tidak terlalu kencang, Pedrosa terhempas cukup keras di bagian lengan dan bahu kirinya.

Pemeriksaan awal menyebut bahwa tidak ada tulang Pedrosa yang patah. Namun, ia rencananya akan menjalani proses pemeriksaan lebih lanjut.

Dalam sesi ini sendiri, Marquez tampil sebagai yang tercepat dengan waktu 1 menit 21,903 detik. Itu merupakan capaian terbaiknya di Sachsenring pekan ini, setelah sebelumnya menempati posisi empat dan tiga.

Aleix Espargaro yang membela Aspar Aprilia menorehkan waktu terbaik kedua, sebuah peningkatan relatif signifikan setelah sebelumnya ia cuma dua kali berada di posisi tujuh. Espargaro cuma terpaut 0,226 detik dari Marquez.

Sementara itu Valentino Rossi (Yamaha) mencatatkan waktu terbaik ketiga di sesi ini, mengungguli waktu Cal Crutchloh dari Yamaha Tech 3 dan Stefan Bradl (Honda LCR) yang torehan waktunya terpaut tidak jauh. Alvaro Bautista dari Honda Gresini lalu ada di posisi enam.

Bradley Smith dari Tech 3, Nicky Hayden yang membela Ducati, Andrea Iannone (Pramac Ducati), dan Andrea Dovizioso dari Ducati lantas melengkapi posisi 10 pebalap tercepat di sesi ini.

Valentino Rossi Pembalap Keempat Tertua yang Menang Balapan






TRIBUNNEWS.COM – Pada usia 34 tahun, Valentino Rossi menjadi rider keempat tertua di antara pembalap-pembalap tua yang masih bisa memenangkan sebuah seri balapan.

Di era balap motor empat tak, tiga pembalap tertua yang masih bisa menang ditempati oleh Troy Bayliss, Alex Barros, dan Loris Capirossi. Butuh sekitar tiga atau empat tahun lagi buat Rossi untuk melampaui rekor tertua yang masih bisa memenangkan sebuah seri balapan MotoGP.

Sementara itu setelah sukses di Belanda, Rossi melihat ada peluang buat dirinya untuk bisa menang lagi. Bahkan menurutnya, sukses di Assen bisa membuka kemenangan-kemenangan berikutnya.

Sebelumnya Rossi yang sudah tujuh kali jadi juara di kelas balap paling bergengsi itu tak bisa menang dalam waktu hampir tiga tahun. Dia sulit bersaing dengan Jorge Lorenzo, Dani Pedrosa, dan Marc Marquez di awal musim. Namun dia berhasil membuat gebrakan dengan menang di Belanda.

"Apa yang akan saya lakukan adalah berusaha tetap konsentrasi 100 persen dan siap secara fisik dan mental. Dan di setiap seri balapan saya akan berusaha untuk tampil terbaik," kata Rossi. "Saya pikir saya masih punya potensi dan masih punya semangat dan kekuatan untuk bersaing di barisan terdepan tiap seri balapan," katanya.

Sementara itu kemenangan Rossi di Assen dan juga meningkatkan performa balap pembalap Inggris, Cal Crutchlow dan Marc Marquez yang tampil impresif memberikan pengaruh positif pada penjualan tiket MotoGP.


Di Inggris misalnya, tiket MotoGP Inggris yang akan digelar 1 September mendatang sudah laris. Sebagian besar tempat duduk telah dipesan. Akhir pekan ini, para pembalap akan bersaing lagi di balapan Jerman di sirkuit Sachsenring Jerman, Minggu (14/7/2013). (Tribunnews.com/mba)

Lorenzo Tak Yakin Bisa Tampil Sebaik di Assen



Barcelona - Pebalap Yamaha, Jorge Lorenzo, tampil begitu mengesankan di MotoGP Belanda. Tapi, karena kondisi fisiknya belum pulih, dia tak yakin bisa mengulangi penampilan itu di MotoGP Jerman.

Lorenzo mengalami patah tulang selangka akibat kecelakaan dalam sesi latihan bebas di Assen, akhir bulan lalu. Masalah tersebut membuatnya sempat diprediksi akan absen dalam balapan.

Nyatanya, Lorenzo cuma absen di sesi kualifikasi. Setelah menjalani operasi di Barcelona, dia kembali lagi ke Assen dan mendapatkan izin untuk ikut balapan. Hasil yang dia peroleh pun sangat bagus untuk ukuran seseorang yang baru saja mengalami patah tulang. Dia finis di posisi kelima.

Lorenzo kini akan menghadapi seri berikutnya, MotoGP Jerman, akhir pekan ini, dalam kondisi yang belum 100 persen. Masih ada delapan sekrup dan satu plat di tulang selangka kirinya.

Dengan kondisi seperti ini, Lorenzo memilih untuk realistis. Pebalap asal Spanyol itu tak yakin bisa menunjukkan performa hebat seperti di Assen lagi.

"Sachsenring akan sedikit berat untuk saya setelah kecelakaan di Assen," ucap Lorenzo di situs resmi MotoGP.

"Memang benar kami meraih hasil yang menakjubkan bagi saya, tim, dan juga kompetisi. Tapi, saya harus realistis dan saya masih harus melalui jalan panjang sampai tulang selangka saya pulih," lanjutnya.

"Situasinya adalah saya masih butuh waktu lagi untuk memulihkan cedera. Saya tak akan 100 persen di Jerman, tapi saya cukup yakin bisa mendapatkan akhir pekan yang bagus."

"Paling tidak saya punya hampir sepuluh hari untuk tetap tenang dan sedikit meningkatkan kondisi fisik saya. Akan sulit untuk bersaing lagi, tapi pasti saya akan berusaha lebih keras daripada di Belanda."

"Trek ini bukan salah satu favorit saya, tapi pada level ini saya tak memikirkan di mana kami balapan. Saya harus memberikan semua yang saya miliki di setiap balapan."

Bradl: Contract details to come very soon



Wednesday, 10 July 2013
Stefan Bradl has revealed that he will soon be able to disclose further information regarding his contract situation for the 2014 MotoGP™ season.

Over recent weeks, talk in the paddock has pointed towards Bradl riding a ‘factory-supported Honda’ next season. At present, the German - who qualified on the front row at Assen - is unable to clarify his situation in full.

"We have a pre-contract which we signed last year, at the last race in Valencia," Bradl explains. "This will come very soon. We will sit down together in the next couple of weeks, but I don’t think it looks so bad for me. Also, when looking at our data, HRC (Honda Racing Corporation) knew we were struggling at the beginning of the season and now over the last races we have not done badly. They know exactly what is going on and I think they are quite happy with the progress we have made."

Having suffered three falls across the first four races of the season, Bradl admits that at times it is possible to be distracted by one’s impending future.

"This is always in the back of your mind because you also want to show HRC and all of the sponsors that you can do better than you are actually doing," continues the Moto2™ World Champion of 2011. "When you struggle at the beginning of the season, it is not easy to come back and solve the problem, but it doesn’t really make any difference in my life – especially after we sat down with Lucio (Cecchinello, CEO of LCR Honda MotoGP) and all of my team.

"There is no reason why we should be going crazy now. We just try to go step-by-step, back to our normal speed, and then try to put our speed into a whole race distance."

Over the opening seven races of 2013, 23-year-old Bradl has registered three top five finishes and his first ever front row start in The Netherlands, as well as two retirements in Qatar and Spain.

Valentino Rossi cetak rekor baru di Assen




Jakarta - Kemenangan Valentino Rossi di Assen lalu ternyata melahirkan sebuah rekor baru di kelas primer. Rekor lain di seluruh kelas kini berpeluang ia catatkan di Sepang.

Dalam MotoGP Belanda akhir bulan lalu, Rossi berhasil melewati garis finis paling pertama. Ini merupakan kemenangan pertamanya sejak kembali ke Yamaha. Sejak 10 Oktober 2010, baru kali ini pula Rossi bisa kembali naik ke podium teratas.

Situs MotoGP mencatat, kemenangan tersebut juga membuat Rossi kini menorehkan rekor baru dalam aspek pebalap pemenang di kelas primer motor kejuaraan dunia balap motor grand prix.

Dengan kemenangan pertamanya di kelas primer lalu diraih Rossi dalam balapan 500cc di Donington Park pada tahun 2000, kemenangan si Italiano di Assen tahun 2013 ini terjadi setelah terpaut 12 tahun dan 355 hari.

Catatan tersebut mematahkan rekor sebelumnya yang dicatatkan oleh pebalap Brasil Alex Barros (11 tahun dan 204 hari), sekaligus menggeser Phil Read turun ke posisi tiga (11 tahun dan 16 hari).

Rossi kini mengejar rekor serupa, meski kali ini di keseluruhan kelas yang ada. Dengan kemenangan pertama ia raih dalam balapan 125cc di Brno pada tahun 1996 silam, rentang kemenangan Rossi kini adalah 16 tahun dan 345 hari.

Pebalap berjuluk 'The Doctor' itu kini membidik rekor 17 tahun dan 49 hari Loris Capirossi. Rekor baru nanti akan dicetak Rossi jika ia bisa meraih kemenangan di Sepang pada 13 Oktober mendatang.

Rossi-Crutchlow dongkrak penjualan tiket MotoGP Inggris



Kemenangan Valentino Rossi dan performa gemilang Cal Crutchlow di MotoGP Belanda 
lalu ternyata mendongkrak angka penjualan tiket MotoGP Inggris yang digelar di Silverstone, 
30 Agustus-1 September mendatang.Mayoritas tempat duduk grandstand Silverstone 
sudah terjual habis. 

Managing Director Sirkuit Silverstone, Richard Phillips yakin ada banyak faktor yang 
membuat pembelian tiketnya melonjak."Ada beberapa faktor yang membuat penjualan 
tiket kami melonjak. 

Rossi kembali ke Yamaha dan Marc Marquez menjadi pemenang termuda di MotoGP. 
Selain itu Cal tampil sensasional. 

Ia telah meraih tiga podium dan menjadi pole sitter asal Inggris pertama setelah 11 tahun," 
ujarnya. Phillips menambahkan, performa pebalap Inggris lainnya, Bradley Smith dan 
Scott Redding juga sedikit banyak mempengaruhi jumlah tiket yang terjual.
"Bradley juga menjalani musim debutnya dengan baik di MotoGP, 
sementara Scott tengah memimpin klasemen pebalap Moto2," lanjutnya. 

"Semua ini membuat jumlah tiket yang terjual menanjak."Setelah menjalani 
MotoGP Belanda lalu, Crutchlow juga mengunjungi Silverstone keesokan harinya, 
yakni saat balapan Formula 1 GP Inggris digelar. 

Di sana ia kembali bertemu Lewis Hamilton yang sempat menghadiri MotoGP Perancis.
"F1 GP Inggris merupakan pengalaman pertama saya menonton F1 secara langsung. 

Saya sangat terkesima, dan sangat menyenangkan bisa bertemu dengan Lewis lagi. 
Saya juga berkesempatan masuk ke dalam kokpit Mercedes AMG Petronas miliknya," 
tutup juara World Supersport 2009 ini. (cn/kny)

Silverstone ticket sales spike after Assen




Monday, 8 July 2013
Following the highly dramatic Dutch TT in which Valentino Rossi returned to winning ways and England’s Cal Crutchlow finished on the podium from a pole position start, ticket sales have rocketed ahead of the Hertz British Grand Prix.


The unquestionable lure of Valentino Rossi was evident at Silverstone last week, after the seven-time MotoGP™ World Champion’s victory in Assen resulted in a significant spike in ticket sales for next month’s Hertz British Grand Prix.

With just a handful of points separating the top riders, 2013 has been one of the most open MotoGP™ seasons in recent years. Richard Phillips, Managing Director of Silverstone Circuits Limited, believes this, combined with Rossi’s return to form and British rider Cal Crutchlow’s continued success, to be the reason behind the increased interest ahead of Britain’s flagship motorcycle racing event.

Phillips commented: "Ticket sales for the MotoGP™ British Grand Prix are going very well this year, which is down to a number of factors. It’s been a fantastic start to the season, with multiple winners, including Rossi back on a Yamaha, rookie sensation Marc Marquez becoming the youngest ever rider to win in MotoGP™ and Lorenzo and Pedrosa swapping places at the top of the championship. Cal has also had a sensational year, securing three podiums and becoming the first British rider to claim a pole position in over a decade.

"Bradley Smith is also going really well in his debut MotoGP™ season, while in Scott Redding we have a Brit leading the Moto2™ World Championship. All of this, combined with the great experience fans had at Silverstone last year, has seen a real uplift in demand for tickets. As most of our reserved seating areas are now sold out we’ve had to release more reserved seating in Becketts, and our ‘Family’ tickets have also been extremely popular again this year."

Crutchlow was last at Silverstone only two weekends ago to visit the F1 race.

"The British Grand Prix was my first experience of F1 and I was blown away; I loved it," said Crutchlow. "It’s very impressive. There’s a real buzz around the Paddock and on the grid. It was good to meet Lewis (Hamilton) again – Mercedes garage. I’d love to have a go at driving an F1 car in the future, but I’m not sure they trust us MotoGP™ riders; they think we’re a bit mad."

Speaking about Assen and looking ahead to his home race, Crutchlow added: "It was great to get pole at Assen last weekend; it shows what we are capable of. I honestly think I had a great opportunity to win the race, but it wasn’t meant to be and I’m happy to have finished on the podium for the third time in the last four races. I was pleased for Rossi though; he’s a true legend and it’s good to see him back on the top step – as long as he doesn’t beat me too often. The team is constantly improving, so who knows by the time we get to Silverstone. It’s not that far away now and I’d love to win my home race."

Tickets for the Hertz British Grand Prix, which will be staged between Friday 30 August and Sunday 1 September, can be purchased on motogp.com.

Sachsenring: A happy Pedrosa hunting ground






Monday, 8 July 2013
If the last three German Grands Prix are anything to judge by, Dani Pedrosa should head to the Sachsenring with much confidence. However, as the 2008 race told the Spaniard, nothing is ever certain in motorcycle racing…

Many would be over the moon to finish fourth in a MotoGP™ race but, knowing major rival Jorge Lorenzo was injured and starting 12th, Pedrosa naturally felt disappointed to have gained only a further two points over his Yamaha Factory Racing opponent. In fact, fourth for the Repsol Honda Team rider marked his equal worst result of 2013 to date and ended a run of five consecutive podium finishes – the longest string of top three results for anybody so far this year.

Now heading to Germany, Pedrosa can be comforted by the fact that he triumphed at the Sachsenring in 2010, 2011 and 2012, bringing his total of victories at the track up to six following two earlier successes in the intermediate class as well as the first MotoGP™ win of 2007. A year later, he would infamously lose control while dominating and violently bounce across the gravel trap.

As for Lorenzo, the task will be a continuation of damage limitation. Just how badly will the World Champion be affected by the broken left collarbone he sustained on the opening day at Assen? One could say we are now presented with a role reversal, with Pedrosa having so frequently been the wounded man in past years, whereas 80-time premier class victor Valentino Rossi will be looking to have the upper hand over his teammate once again.

Marc Marquez rather quietly moved back towards the top of the championship two weekends ago and is now once again within one victory of the lead, while Monster Yamaha Tech 3’s Cal Crutchlow is under threat of losing his fourth place in as Rossi is just two points behind. Ironically, Rossi’s victory at Assen came in the 46th MotoGP™ race to have taken place since his last win at Sepang in 2010, while he has now scored a career total of 4,646 points. A pair of coincidences indeed.

As for the Sachsenring, this will be the 16th time MotoGP™ has graced its tight turns and contour changes. Racing has taken place in the surrounding area and around the town of Chemnitz since as far back as the 1920s, with the purpose-built circuit having now been present on the calendar since 1998. Before that it was the Nurburgring, itself following Hockenheim which had hosted the inaugural German GP in 1991. Honda has won six of the last ten races in Germany, thanks mostly to Pedrosa.

The grid maintains its line-up for the upcoming event. Ivan Silva continues to substitute for the injured Hiroshi Aoyama at Avintia Blusens, whereas Michele Pirro will again cover for Ben Spies at Ignite Pramac Racing, then handing over to San Marino’s Alex de Angelis for Laguna Seca as Pirro will be testing for Ducati Team at Misano. At LCR Honda MotoGP, Stefan Bradl heads into his home race off the back of last week’s two-day test in Argentina. For the record, no German has ever won a MotoGP™ race in his home country – a Bradl podium would surely be welcomed…

Sunday’s eni Motorrad Grand Prix Deutschland begins at 2pm local time (GMT +2), whereas practice will commence on Friday morning. All sessions can be followed live and in full on motogp.com.

Crutchlow: Sirkuit Argentina Impresif!




BUENOS AIRES – Cal Crutchlow memuji sirkuit Termas de Rio Hondo, Argentina. Pujian itu dilontarkan setelah pembalap asal Inggris itu mencoba sirkuit yang akan disertakan dalam MotoGP tahun depan itu.
 
“Lintasan baru ini sangat impresif dan memiliki fasilitas yang bagus, Argentina akan sangat bangga memilikinya. Sangatlah luar biasa melihat banyak penonton yang hadir untuk menyaksikan kami. Semoga kami dapat memberikan penampilan yang baik tahun depan karena tampaknya (sirkuit) ini akan memunculkan keramaian,” ujar Crutchlow seperti dilansir Crash.
 
Pembalap berusia 27 tahun ini juga menilai bahwa lintasan yang tersedia akan membuat para pembalap lain menyukai sirkuit ini.
 
“Lintasannya memiki gabungan antara ujung yang panjang dan cepat serta juga rapat. Sehingga hal ini mengharuskan pembalap untuk memiliki ritme yang bagus,” sambungnya.
 
Saya menyukai tikungan 6 di mana tikungan itu sangat panjang dan memiliki turunan. Saya rasa banyak pembalap MotoGP yang datang ke sini akan menyukai lintasan ini,” tutup pembalap yang menggunakan nomor 35 dalam kendaraannya itu.

Tech 3: Mustahil Crutchlow Tak Tergoda Ducati






BORMES LES MIMOSAS – Musim ini, bisa jadi merupakan musim terakhir Cal Crutchlow berstatus joki Yamaha Tech 3. Team principal Hervé Poncharal sendiri mengaku sulit untuk memastikan Crutchlow bersedia bertahan di tengah kuatnya godaan Ducati.

Sudah bukan rahasia lagi bahwa Ducati, mengincar rider anyar untuk musim depan. Kemungkinan besar, Nicky Hayden akan hengkang dan Crutchlow, jadi prioritas pabrikan Italia itu untuk bereuni dengan Andrea Dovizioso – eks-partner Crutchlow di Tech 3.

Poncharal melihat situasi Crutchlow yang ada saat ini, menyatakan akan sulit bagi pembalap asal Inggris itu untuk tak mempertimbangkan tawaran Ducati. Akan sulit pula untuk Tech 3 mempertahankannya.

Pasalnya, Crutchlow bersikeras ingin mendapat kontrak pabrikan, yang saat ini belum juga didapatnya dari Yamaha. Adapun dengan Ducati, hampir pasti Crutchlow akan diikat dengan kontrak pabrikan yang jelas, akan menjadi jaminan buat Crutchlow, untuk tetap menunggang motor resmi pabrikan.

“Saya tahu ada ketertarikan besar dari Ducati terhadap Cal dan jika itu terjadi, mungkin akan sedikit lucu karena itu artinya di musim 2014 nanti, mereka akan memiliki line-up Tech 3 musim 2012 dan buat saya, itu (Crutchlow-Dovizioso) bukanlah tim yang buruk,” tutur Poncharal, seperti dinukil MCN, Minggu (7/7/2013).

“Target utamanya adalah menjadi pembalap pabrikan penuh. Itu takkan terjadi di Yamaha setidaknya untuk 18 bulan ke depan. Akankah lebih baik untuk mendapat kontrak pabrikan di Ducati di mana kemungkinan Anda akan tertinggal dengan tantangan untuk menyusul (tim-tim mapan)?,” lanjutnya.

“Anda pasti ingin menang, tapi akan lebih menyenangkan jika Anda menang dengan motor yang Anda kembangkan bersama-sama dengan pabrikan. Saya yakin itulah yang saat ini tengah dipertimbangkan Cal. Dovi (sapaan Dovizioso) mengakui segala hal tak mudah, tapi itu memberi Anda gairah baru,” sambung Poncharal.

Tech 3 sendiri takkan berpangku tangan melihat Ducati begitu saja membajaknya. Poncharal akan mencoba mempertahankan Crutchlow dengan bantuan sejumlah sponsor, terutama sponsor utama Monster yang saat ini, punya pasaran besar di negara asal Crutchlow.

“Kebanyakan orang mengatakan hal terbaik untuk Cal adalah bertahan dan dia sudah menegaskan ingin bertahan tapi dengan beberapa perubahan. Yang terpenting memang uang, tapi tak semua orang punya dana yang tak terbatas. Kami tahu yang Cal inginkan. Bisakah kami merealisasikannya? Kita lihat saja nanti. Yang utama, adalah bagaimana kami bisa membicarakannya lagi dengan Monster dan Yamaha,” tandasnya.

Argentina test completed after Friday morning rain


Friday, 5 July 2013
MotoGP™’s visit to the newly built Termas de Rio Hondo circuit in Argentina saw the second day of testing affected by rain, due to a Friday morning downpour at the South American venue.

Following Thursday’s announcement that the track will join the World Championship calendar from next season, the riders and teams decided not to risk potential mishaps on Friday morning after an early shower.

The six riders participating lapped somewhat cautiously in mixed conditions later on day two, with the Friday afternoon session extended by 30 minutes to make the most of some late sunshine.

Cal Crutchlow, Alvaro Bautista and Stefan Bradl were amongst the MotoGP™ contingent who made the trip to South America to check out the new facility, visiting Buenos Aires and the smaller city of Termas de Rio Hondo earlier in the week - before getting down to the real business of putting in some laps of the 4.8km track on their prototype machines.

Crutchlow put his Monster Yamaha Tech 3 YZR-M1 through its paces, gathering crucial data for both Yamaha and Bridgestone. GO&FUN Honda Gresini rider Bautista also worked on set up and understanding the nature of the track, topping the timesheet on Friday afternoon with a 1’45.578 lap.

LCR Honda MotoGP’s Bradl ended the test as the fastest rider with a time of 1’44.188 from Thursday - and only put in 13 extra laps on Friday.

Avintia Blusens’ Hector Barbera, meanwhile, collected important data for Magneti Marelli electronics on his FTR Kawasaki. Tuenti HP 40’s Tito Rabat and Mapfre Aspar Team’s Nico Terol were also in attendance as they tried out their Moto2 bikes and Dunlop tyres around the new layout.

Thursday also saw the official announcement that Termas de Rio Hondo will join the MotoGP calendar until 2016, from next year, meaning a return to racing in Argentina for the first time since 1999.

With Friday morning’s poor weather conditions at the track meaning that further testing was limited, the riders added some additional laps in the afternoon session before signing autographs for the fans and heading off to return to Europe for round 8 next weekend in Germany.

Sebelum melakukan uji coba, para pebalap ini melakukan jumpa pers di Hotel NH City, Buenos Aires pada hari Selasa. "Sangat menyenangkan bisa menjajal sirkuit baru. 

Setelah uji coba, kami bisa kembali dan bercerita pada pebalap lain tentang sirkuit ini," ujar Crutchlow, pebalap Monster Yamaha Tech 3. "Saya rasa sirkuit ini sudah sangat baik. Fasilitasnya fantastis."

Hal-hal ini sangat penting." 

Pebalap LCR Honda, Bradl mengaku penasaran dengan beberapa tikungan cepat yang ada di sirkuit ini. "Saya melihat ada beberapa tikungan yang sangat cepat.

Kembali ke MotoGP, Suzuki Mungkin Kontrak Rossi




Jakarta - Masih dua tahun lagi sebelum Suzuki kembali ke ajang MotoGP. Tapi pabrikan asal Jepang itu sudah mempersiapkan pebalap untuk dikontrak, yang salah satunya adalah Valentino Rossi.

Sempat berencana melakukan comeback pada 2014, Suzuki akhirnya memastikan turun kembali di ajang MotoGP di musim 2015. Karena sempat berujicoba dengan Cal Crutchlow, pebalap asal Inggris itu santer dikabarkan bakal jadi pebalap tetap Suzuki.

Pihak Suzuki tak menyangkalnya, meski mereka masih membuka lebar peluang masuknya pebalap lain. Salah satu yang direncanakan untuk diboyong adalah Valentino Rossi.

"Kami harus melihat opsi terbaik dan Valentino adalah salah satunya, jadi kenapa tidak?" sahut bos Suzuki, Davide Brivio dalam wawancaranya dengan MCN.

Rossi saat ini masih terikat kontrak dengan Yamaha sampai 2014. Jika tidak ada perpanjangan kontrak disepakati antara kedua pihak, maka peluang Rossi membalap menggunakan Suzuki di 2015 berpeluang besar terjadi.

"Kami harus mencobanya dengan siapapun. Kita semua sudah melihat dan saat saya berada di Yamaha kami bisa mendapatkan Valentino di sana dan itu mengubah sejarah Yamaha. Kami menunjukkan betapa pentingnya seorang pebalap dan itu sangat jelas dalam 10 tahun terakhir. Jika kami punya pebalap bagus maka kami bisa menunjukkan potensi kami," lanjut Brivio.

Sempat 20 tahun bekerja di Yamaha, Bravio adalah sosok dibalik sukses pabrikan asal Jepang itu membujuk Rossi menyeberang dari Honda pada akhir muskm 2003. Bravio meninggalkan Yamaha di tahun 2010, tak lama setelah Rossi memutuskan hijrah ke Ducati.

Ducati Team concludes test at Misano





Thursday, 4 July 2013

The Ducati Team today completed a busy three-day test at Misano. Andrea Dovizioso and Nicky Hayden rode on Wednesday and Thursday, whereas Michele Pirro—fresh from his recent substitute rider appearances with Pramac Racing—returned to his role as Ducati Test Team rider, beginning his work on Tuesday and continuing through to today.

Apart from a brief morning rain shower today, the test was marked by good weather, enabling the riders to focus their work, which consisted mainly of carrying out frame comparisons. They also tried some engine developments and looked for a base setup for the Grand Prix of San Marino and the Rimini Riviera, which will take place at this track in September.

Andrea Dovizioso - Ducati Team (105 laps)
“The Misano track is a bit inconsistent for our bike, but coming from Assen, we immediately felt a bit better at this circuit. We worked on the current bike, finding a setup for the Misano race, and then we went ahead with the development of the laboratory bike, trying some new stuff and finding some interesting things. We were able to do nearly two full days of good work, and today we tried a change with the frame. There were some positives, like an improvement with the feeling on corner entry. We must decide what to do; it’s a new part, so we have to understand whether or not we can have it in time for the Sachsenring.”

Nicky Hayden - Ducati Team (158 laps)
“It’s certainly been a useful couple of days. We didn’t make any drastic improvements, but I tried something with a different anti-wheelie solution that worked quite well, and I’m happy about that for the next two tracks, which are maybe the worst two circuits for wheelies on the whole calendar. We lost a bit of time today with the rain, but in the end I did a low 1:34. That’s not a bad lap time, although we’ll certainly have to do better than that when we come here for the race. We did a lot of laps, mainly with the wheelie control and a different fork setting, and we got some good information.”

Crutchlow impressed with new track in Argentina





Thursday, 4 July 2013

Monster Yamaha Tech 3 Team rider Cal Crutchlow took centre stage in a historic moment for South American motorsport today when he became one of the first to ride a prototype MotoGP™ machine on the impressive new Autodromo Termas de Rio Hondo track in Argentina.

Crutchlow completed 29-laps in the pre-lunch session on the first of a two-day test on the super-fast 4.8km track, which is part of a special promotional tour in anticipation of the Autodromo Termas de Rio Hondo track featuring on the 2014 MotoGP World Championship schedule.

Booming interest in MotoGP in Argentina was evident again today after fans, media and officials gave Crutchlow a warm and enthusiastic reception on his arrival into Buenos Aires on Tuesday.

A large and passionate crowd gathered to witness Crutchlow put his Monster Yamaha Tech 3 Team YZR-M1 through its paces on the new circuit, which features 14 fast and technical corners.

As well as giving Argentinian fans a small taste of the high-speed and adrenaline-fuelled action they can expect next year, Crutchlow is on a vitally important data-gathering mission for Yamaha and Bridgestone.

The former World Supersport champion is scheduled to test a wide selection of tyres for Bridgestone, his comprehensive feedback giving the Japanese tyre firm precious information that will be used to help develop the tyre allocation for next year’s race.

Next year’s race will be the first time the sports-mad South American nation has played host to MotoGP since 1999.

Cal Crutchlow
“We have had an absolutely fantastic welcome in Argentina and after seeing the enthusiasm for MotoGP I’m really happy to be finally out on track to demonstrate what a spectacle the fans will see next year. The new track is very impressive and it is a really a good facility that Argentina can be very proud of. The track is still very dirty, so we are just enjoying riding around and learning as much as possible while also feeling the emotion of being one of the first ever to ride a prototype MotoGP bike here. It's incredible how many spectators came to welcome us and see us riding. Hopefully we can put on a good show next year and have a fantastic race because it certainly looks like it will take place in front of a huge crowd. The track has a good mix of long and fast corners and some are tight, so it is very important to get into a good rhythm. I really like Turn 6, which is a long and downhill corner. That is really cool to ride and I think the whole of the MotoGP grid is going to come here and love the track.”

Argentina to host MotoGP™ until 2016 from next year



Thursday, 4 July 2013

Dorna Sports is pleased to announce that MotoGP™ is officially returning to Argentina from next season to the newly built Termas de Rio Hondo circuit, which is currently hosting a preliminary MotoGP™ and Moto2™ test.

National Tourism Minister Enrique Meyer was present alongside Dorna Managing Director Events Area, Javier Alonso, to finalize the contract, which will see the premier class of motorcycle racing return to Argentina for the first time since 1999 on a three-year deal.

Meyer commented: “It is a great honour to receive this championship in Argentina in addition to other sporting events that take place in our country such as the Dakar Rally. We hope that the Argentine public can enjoy the top class of motorcycle racing, which hasn’t come to our country since 1999, and we will do our best to make sure MotoGP stays in our country for a long time.”

During his visit to the track today, Meyer was accompanied by the Governor of the Province of Santiago del Estero, Gerardo Zamora, and the Executive Secretary of the National Institute of Tourism, Leonardo Boto. Together they toured the circuit facilities and greeted the riders of both categories.

Meyer added: “We are getting very good reviews from the riders in relation to the circuit, due to the high speed corners in which competitors test their abilities. We are excited to host this event [the test], which serves as preparation for the Grand Prix in 2014.”

"Seeing all the motorcycle enthusiasts that have come to witness the MotoGP and Moto2 test is the most concrete proof that sporting events and tourism are two tools that go together and should be exploited for the better to maximize the benefits for each of the provinces of Argentina.”
