Today's Race of MotoGP: Motegi 2013

finally, guys! we meet again in Asian Grand Prix. yeap, as you can see I didn't write so much in the last post, because of a lack of reviewing because I skipped lots part of the race. so yeah right now I'm trying to write a longer post than yesterday. for your information, I'm watching big match of Barclay's Premier League: Arsenal vs Liverpool while writing this post hehe. I know it's been too late to post this review of Motegi. but, it's better late than never, hectic week they said (I said actually) ha! okay, no strings attached let's move to >> AirAsia Grand Prix of Japan.

Twin Ring Motegi Circuit

Moto3

the race results:

1. Alex Marquez, 2. Maverick Vinales, 3. Jonas Folger

first victory! great pose with the team

the podium

I know! it's surprising, right? haha finally we see younger version of Marquez on 1st podium. where's Luis Salom? yeah, to tell you the truth, I missed the first part of the race as well. but, I saw the moment when Luis got a crash when the race still remained 12 laps. so, it was the battle of Alex Rins, Maverick Vinales, and Alex Rins who fought the battle for 1st. the race was going so epic! all competitors are equal so it makes it more intense with not knowing who would be the first. while Jonas, following on 4th but it was quite far behind the top three and Jonas didn't seem near them. the battle was so epic until it lasted 4 laps and Rins made a mistake! Alex Rins went to the gravel and fell from his bike! it was seen so desperate. and it took a moment for him to decide either to continue the race or to be out. Alex was shown had already walked out of the circuit, but the moment after that, he came back to the gravel to grab his bike and soon came back to the circuit and tried to finish the race. hmm, I think it's kinda unnecessary, too, he wouldn't get a point either way cause he finished on 24th! some people want to show their guts.

okay, it was REALLY ironic as we can see the top 2 Championship leaders had a bad day and didn't get a point here in Motegi. and it ended with Alex Marquez's and Mack Vinales' battle in the end. it was so hectic and I reaaaaally hope that Mack could pull this all together cause he lead the race in front of Alex Marquez! but tragically, Mack was overtaken by Marquez! oh my God.... Mack, why? it's always being like that, everytime Mack is on the front, whoever behind him will soon overtake him as well. it seems that Mack has a similarity with Dani Pedrosa, eh? haha yeah maybe he's kinda nervous and slows down everytime he is being pushed. and it also seems that Alex Marquez has a similarity to.. Marc Marquez! hahahaha of course they're brothers. and now, same ambitions eh. crack bros!

happy face

another cool pose with the team

I was so frustrated that Mack couldn't win the race. BECAUSE: if he won the race he would lead the Standings with Salom on the 2nd position with 3 different points, and strengthen his possibility to win the title this year! plus, it was a benefit that Rins also got a crash. it was "once-in-a-lifetime-chance". ah, Mack. anyway, in the paddock it was not seen that big brother, Marc, attended Alex' podium. as we know that Marc had a crash in the morning of Warming-Up-Practice and made himself on medic during morning. well, congratulations Alex, for the first victory ever in Moto3 World Championship. best of luck in the next race! but let Mack wins next day haha :D

Moto2

the race results:

1. Pol Espargaro, 2. Mika Kallio, 3. Thomas Luthi

happy jump on podium

oh my people, this is too epic to share :') yeap we know that Pol is The Moto2 World Champion of 2013!!!! too epic huh guys? I really love this cute guy. first, the race started with a tragic accident involving Scott Redding, Tito Rabbat, and one rider which I don't know exactly the name was. so the race was red flagged and stopped for about 15 minutes, and this is where a common shot found where Aleix Espargaro had a speech upon his younger brother, Pol. finally, the race started but also reduced from 23 laps race to 15 laps race. I didn't really watch the race, but.. what I know is Pol Espargaro won the race and made another result, Pol Espargaro is the world champion!! (yeah I said it twice)

the race accident

numero uno the T shirt said

lots of people hoping that local rider will shine here, like Takaaki Nakagami. but I didn't see him among the race in front row, so it was kinda disappointing, especially my dad hahah. but I was really happy to hear about it, so is Aleix he must be shredding tears :') finally, a life time waiting is coming already. as Marc left Moto2 class, it was Pol in the beginning who's believed as the Moto2 champion. but since Scott was so good in the first part of season, it left Pol quite desperate. but with Aleix' help, hands of big brother, he came stronger and finally we have a couple of brothers who both are World Champion. I'm so proud of them! :'D finally it's satisfying enough because Pol is a World Champion already right before he left Moto2 class to MotoGP class, along with brother Aleix, and Marc. anyway, another congratulations for Pol Espargaro! you're always the numero uno for me.

MotoGP

the race results:

1. Jorge Lorenzo, 2. Marc Marquez, 3. Dani Pedrosa

another over happy jump on podium performed by Jorge

this time I'm happy with numero dos

it is Honda's circuit they say, it will be Honda the winner they say. but, what happened today? yeap, it was Jorge the winner of the race, from Yamaha Factory Racing Team. and surprisingly, we have Nicky Hayden on front row yes people! Nicky was surprisingly and shockingly the 3rd fastest person in Qualifying session. lots of people hope that this is 'his comeback' since 2006, the year he becoming a MotoGP World Champion. Dani Pedrosa started from 5th right behind Valentino Rossi. but in the race day, Dani was quite fast in the start and made himself stuck on 3rd behind Jorge and Marc. the race wasn't going so epic like previous classes. so, let's just say that Jorge is super fast, and Marc couldn't keep up with him enough, and Dani was not full-gas enough to keep up with Marc either. so, in the end, it was staying up with the result and left Jorge as the winner. with this result, Marc still leads the Championship with 318 points, following by Jorge with 13 points different, and Dani.. on 3rd with only 280 points :( so it means that it leaves Jorge and Marc who compete for The Title of 2013, and Dani is kicked out of the 'competition' *sobbing* so let's just see what will happen in Valencia :)

let's make it quick to joyful moment :D

first to open the joyful moment, we are in Japan now! it means.. another anime artwork and this year it looks...

The Race Artwork

I found this hilarious thing right before the podium award. it was figured out that Dani couldn't full gas enough because he used hard tyre during the race, which it probably should've been soft because the weather was quite wet. even, Jorge figured it out himself right here..

Jorge...

and when they two had a little chat though, Marc walked along the pace, ALONE. haha forever alone, eh Marc? kidding! well, maybe Jorge needs a little help of Dani to, maybe, hold Marc in Valencia cause he wants to win so bad! ey no cheat right. well I said maybe! it doesn't mean I'm right, hehe. but this is really funny.

Marc, you ok?

and Marc just made this 'near-cute-facial-expression' instead to fill his loneliness (um, that sounds really sad). some people say that Dani is a little "ugh" to Marc cause it really pisses him off to be beaten by his own team-mate. and it's true! I know this feeling! Dani also confirms that he won't do any team-order in Valencia and let Marc doing it all himself. good. cause I think Marc can pull it off himself. well.. ambitious enough. and there's no reason why Dani is not pissed off, just look at this picture below

what..? haha

"my fame is taken by my own team-mate, rookie, newbie, damn it" haha maybe this is what Dani thought in his mind well it's too rude to be spoken by Dani eh? but, people, press, reporters, just because Dani is kicked out of the competition of Le Title, doesn't mean there are no questions for him.. it made me sick :( poor Dani. or maybe they were being humble, understood that Dani is tired so they just left him there. also, Yamaha seemed so happy to win in Honda's circuit and especially this is their 200th victory so far in MotoGP. congratulations, Yamaha! good picture though so neat haha :D

FULL TEAM! with Jorge, Vale, Cal, Bradley

and.. what happened to Vale in Motegi? I don't know let's check it out ourselves

in love with whom?

like a baby..

haha some things must be stuck in his head and today's race might piss him off, because he had a rough race. yeap, I don't know why but Vale widened his pace and made himself a way to gravel. be patient, Vale, I know the next race (Valencia) also pisses you off in 2006. yeap, where he tragically fell off to the gravel when he had to compete with Nicky Hayden for a title. Nicky was so happy that day :) and another funny thing made by Marc, shown in his helmet check this picture below!

the helmet

I say this is not being racist, but this is really funny. love the way animator made this picture. really fits in him. plus, we have our team mate meeting a new friend in Japan, check this out
