I think this year MotoGp will more interesting as the movement of riders from several machine..

 

Jeremy burgess(Rossi Chief Mech) Comment "Casey will be the man to watch..."

At Sepang yesterday..

He did no set-up change,no new component & he is flying...(in fact same set-up of Valencia)

Looks like the Honda boys will be the big threat..

 

Can't wait for season to start..

 

If only Dovizioso isn't in the team, it'll just be number 26 & 27. Kinda nice. Looks like the factory Honda's are flying. Wraps up for today. Im happy.

[rein_jahat14]

Repsol Honda 1-2(Pedrosa/Stoner),

Followed by Spies..

Pedrosa did 2m:00s...:clapping:(Yikes During Testing)

 

I bet it will go down some further as the testing progress..

 

-1 Pedrosa D.Repsol Honda Team2:00.770

-2 Stoner C.Repsol Honda Team+0.664

-3 Spies B.Yamaha Factory Racing+0.738

-4 Dovizioso A.Repsol Honda Team+0.742

Actually, Simoncelli, besides the other 3 Repsol riders, have full factory support this year.

Stoner crashed, thankfully he's ok. Damn it.

That's not a surprised actually..

How influence Rossi to the sponsors are..

JL have been with Dainese since his 125 days..

Now he is with A-Star..

Guess Rossi must kick up a fuss to Dainese abt not sponsoring JL..

I do not believe it's all about Rossi leaving. Yammies and Akra some sort go hand in hand, like the R1's in SBK. Just my 2 cents.

Ya Probably ur Right sparkan,

Rossi has nothing to do with sponsor's leaving Yamaha & its riders..

In the eyes of the Sponsor

-Lorenzo(125,250,MotoGp Champ) /

-Spies(2 time AMA Superbike Champ,2009 WSBK Champ)

are just not good enough..

 

I feel Sponsors like

FIAT,Dainese,Termignoni left Team Factory Yamaha once Rossi left..

 

WHY???

Rossi is a Legend,An Idol..( I don need to Quote how many Championship he won rite..??)

So sponsors heed to his demands as he brings in the customers From around the WORLD to them..

 

Its how the rider can generate Income to the sponsors..

Rossi use Brembo..many will use brembo..

Rossi use Dainese..many will use Dainese..

Rossi use Ducati...wat do u think??

 

 

Abt the Saying on Exhaust Yammies = Akra

Personally i believe diff exhaust have diff character..

its how the rider utilise it..

For Info Probably U know already :-

-Petronas boys are using Malaysian Brand Custom made exhaust for their Yamaha R6 Ah Hong Motor(AHM),

-Team Yamaha Tech 3 use Leo Vince..

 

This is my twenty cent opinion..hehehe

Ah thanks for the note... so we can see this year Honda is going an all out assault.

[vyruz]

Hey guys

 

Thought I'd put up some of the photos I took today at the third test day at Sepang. My current favourite is the one with Pedrosa leaning at Turn 9 (see follow-up messages for more pics).

 

Showman award goes to Simoncelli. On his final lap before pitting, he pulled an enormous standing wheelie down the main straight! Also his 'Doctor's Dangle' (dangling inside leg before cornering) is massive. Everyone else was just business-as-usual.

 

One odd thing I noted after reviewing my pictures. Rossi added some form of black attachment to the back of his helmet after lunch (see pics below). I suspect it's for aero/stability purposes, which raises the possibility that the next generation top-dog AGV helmet might include that attachment.

[vyruz]

More pics!

 

[wacko]

I do not believe it's all about Rossi leaving. Yammies and Akra some sort go hand in hand, like the R1's in SBK. Just my 2 cents.

 

hand in hand..?

hmm..

any reason why factory yamaha is using termi all the while when rossi with yammie?

 

That's not a surprised actually..

Now he is with A-Star..

Guess Rossi must kick up a fuss to Dainese abt not sponsoring JL..

 

i agree with rein on this.

 

well sparkan, nice pics btw.

 

simoncelli is looking better than ever.

[rein_jahat14]

any reason why factory yamaha is using termi all the while when rossi with yammie?

 

This is juz my Theory..hehehehe..

 

Rossi is a Patriotic Italian Support his Country Made Product and

Showcase it to the world..

AGV - Italian

Dainese - Italian

Brembo - Italian

Termignoni - Italian

 

Akrapovic is Slovenian brand..

so that's my thoughts..

hehehehhe

[Shark]

Dont forget the 125s; Sepang Air Asia will work with Ajo Motorsports (the team which championed Marc Marquez last year) for 2011. All news here:

[vyruz]

Wow. This season is going to be nuts. Stoner is some freakin' talent - he's been leading the way for almost all tests. He's already smashed Rossi's Sepang circuit record.

 

My friend Lorenzo is now getting signs of the talent that is Ben Spies as well.

 

As a Lorenzo fan, I hate to admit it but it's really starting to look like the Repsol boys are going to fly ahead this year. The only way I can see Lorenzo (or Ben) getting ahead is by being consistent and not crashing left right and centre.

 

And if Rossi can perform well this year, it will absolutely positively cement his status as the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time). The latest news is that he is disappointed and worried about his chances -http://www.crash.net/motogp/news/166939/1/rossi_we_are_quite_worried.html

up coming rider...Ben Spies.....

[sharil]

Marco Simoncelli is going to be the next Rossi in a few years time. (A fast and talented Italian rider) - He is fast, but need to improve on his start acceleration pace for now. Winning the Pole doesnt mean anything if he is slow from the start. He is also the next bad boy of Motogp, never bother abt others safety on the track. Lorenzo and Pedrosa dislike him due to his riding technique which has cause them to crash.

 

Rossi in Ducati is a piece of crap in the 2011 Motogp premiew class, a slow bike compare to honda and yamaha. Suzuki? out of the league,

 

Salute to Stoner, he is fast and consistent.

Salute to Lorenzo, he is a top class rider, saw him race up others from 1st lap crash and loss 30 sec but able to finish 6th overall, with his world class overtaking technique where he may learnt it from the old master (Rossi). They are ex-teamates last year (Fiat Yamaha).

 

Looking forward for next year 1000cc bike set up for the 2012 season
