Today's Race of MotoGP: Losail 2014

hola! how's life? I'm kinda nervous to post this one as my first MotoGP Review this season, he. yeap, I'm gonna post  every race of MotoGP from the start. as usual, not really today's race since I post this a week after the race, I had to collect information and pictures and bring interesting reviews for all. actually, I was going to post the pre-season but then I decided to gather it with this post. to be honest, I skipped the race of MotoGP. kyaa! I know this sucks, too, for me! but I watched the Moto3 and Moto2 instead haha. but don't worry, I'll still have plenty of fun facts served. let's see this first (Night) race of 2014 >> Commercial Bank Grand Prix of Qatar

Losail Circuit

let's start!


Moto3
the race result: 1. Jack Miller, 2. Alex Marquez, 3. Efren Vazquez

kids on the podium!

who's the third podium? I don't know either. I've heard his name before, but, yeah, haven't seen him on podium yet. and as usual, Moto3 serves you some great overtakes, since all bikes have similarities. young souls, ambitious are still seen on Moto3. where's the pole position holder, Alex Rins? he finished in 5th. after having some great overtakes, yea he usually made some mistakes. which is unnecessary though. yeap, here we can still see this team of Double-Alex. and actually I was kinda surprised to see this Australian rider Jack Miller could be so fast suddenly. well good for him. I don't know exactly when they will move up to Moto2, but okay. I don't know what to write anymore so, let's end this, ha!

Moto2
the race result: 1. Tito Rabat, 2. Takaaki Nakagami (*), 3. Mika Kallio

cool pose of Marc VDS Racing Team

should I put a star on top of Naka, too?

what is that star pointing on Naka? yes, I'm sure you've heard the news. even though we were served with a little fun show, with the mighty power of Tito, and stuffs, there was some unnecessary mistakes done by Taka's team. it is told that Takaaki Nakagami's team used a non-regulation air-intake-machine. as usual, Race Director frequently did some inspections pasca-race. and that's when they figured out that there's some 'rebellions' or 'misunderstandings' of regulations.

unsuccessful appeal by Honda

there was a hearing and appeal submitted by Honda, represented by HRC Team Principal, Livio Suppo. but it then rejected and resulted Takaaki's disqualification. so, at the end of the day, the race result is: 1. Tito Rabat, 2. Mika Kallio, 3. Thomas Luthi. the next time, don't do that again, Honda, okay? cause I got my heart supporting on this factory.

MotoGP
the race result: 1. Marc Marquez, 2. Valentino Rossi, 3. Dani Pedrosa

yeaaaah

traditional happy face of podium

it's true that I skipped this Live Race, but I watched the record of this race yeay!!! lucky I am, I watched the race from the beginning when Jorge Lorenzo got crash! what I like about this race is the uniqueness! you found that some riders got crash when they almost lead the race, right? the first crash we saw was from 2012 Champion, Jorge Lorenzo, out of sudden, he got crash when he lead the race. he then confirmed that, "I made a mistake I shouldn't do", he then pledged to not repeat it again, well let's see about that.


and this amazing legend, Valentino Rossi, started the race from 10th. and he step-by-step moved on forward and keep going up. don't you think that Vale always got this amazing power in every Qatar race, huh? and there's this time when the race had 14 laps remained, and our German, Stefan Bradl, unexpectedly lead the race! but unfortunately he got crash in the same lap. what a pity :( I liked him tho.

amazing shot of the incredible overtake

and lap-by-lap, Marc of course wanted to keep his pole and becoming the winner even though he had made a statement that he wouldn't get too pushy about the race since he just got an accident last pre-season-test in Malaysia. but when he got higher, Valentino also got higher. this is interesting cause we all know that they're gonna serve us a cool show. lap-by-lap, Alvaro Bautista and Bradley Smith also knocked out. and another Yamaha Monster Tech 3 rider, Pol Espargaro, also knocked outta the race by machine-malfunction. poor :(
and.. where's Dani? :( he still made efforts to keep going up but then Marc and Vale got so fast he couldn't catch up. thanks to Alvaro he got crash so then Dani moved up. some cool overtaking done by our fellow-champions Marc and Vale. but, this time.. the race is won by Marc Marquez. well, he once said that he wouldn't be so pushy but the fact said different. well, it's not Marquez if not ambitious! congrats Marc!
lots of people prayed that the battle of champions will be in hands of those podiums holder, but that's hell of a bullcrap since Jorge will be in the battle again! and the 4th? it is Aleix Espargaro! can't believe that this young man CRT Champion will be as quick as he could be. happy for him, too! :D and our rookie Scott Redding, finished on 7th, and he said that he's happy for this result.

best overtake of Qatar? here's the video produced by motogp.com


actually, before we read this review of the race we need to see who will be in this competition of MotoGP on 2014? check them out from this amazing video below!


the coolest pose is won by: Stefan Bradl! haha, I don't know, he seems like he's bragging something with the pose with hands on the hip hihi. and we realized that claps heard from Vale's moment and the claps got louder in Marc's moment. phew! we know this!
then there's some unique moment from our lovely brothers Espargaro, Pol and Aleix. Aleix made a surprise from free practice! this Spanish rider lead the free practice session as seen by this pic below :D I'm so happy then! but wait, see this first 5 riders above Dani Pedrosa. omg! are they the new monsters of MotoGP? well it's not with the fact of Qatar GP. next they might give us good performances of underdogs. but what happened with Aleix's brother? Pol? is he nervous then he got crash in Qatar? well, I believe he's a superb rider so let's wait for his next performance.


hi, Pol! nervous? :)

this week Marc was in Malaysia to attend Laureus World Sports Awards. this award is an annual award ceremony honoring remarkable individuals from the world of sports along with the greatest sporting achievements throughout the year. this award is attended by some famous athletes, and I only figured out some, like F1 Champion Sebastian Vettel, and MotoGP legend Mick Doohan. and surprisingly, Marc Marquez won a trophy! congrats! :D

he won Laureus Awards

MotoGP Guide 2014

also this week I got my dream book I buy every year! yeap, MotoGP Guide of 2014. this year served Marc Marquez (again) as the cover boy. with a big headline "REVENGE" yeap, the contains of the book also tells you about the upcoming vengeance from Marc's rival seniors: Jorge, Vale, and Dani. it implies that they're kinda a little ashamed by this young champion. but, hey, he's good! no cheat right? but, I bet this year will be great! for all of you fans of MotoGP in Indonesia, come one grab it fast from the nearest bookstore. it's limited edition and sold out within only 2 months from the first released in March.
that's all about today's race. about the next jaw-dropping-post will be announced and released soon! stay tuned ;)
