Riding Kuwaiti style !
I tried to convince him
…..but did not succeed !I have much respect for his decision.
Shuhei Nakamoto, vice president of HRC
The announcement of Casey Stoner on his withdrawal from MotoGP at the end of the season shocked the motor sport world, Nakamoto confirmed that HRC were aware of Stoner plans…we talked about it many times, Stoner wanted spend more time with his family in Australia and as little time as possible to do tests. Nakamoto adds, We thought that the five month winter sleep is enough, but apparently it wasn’t !
According to tweets form @AziFarni quoting Stoner “over the years there have been things in the sport that were disappointing but also things that he loved…now the balance has tipped and after of years sacrifcing his family its time to stop as the passion is lost ”
Stoner’s decision will complicates Honda’s future MotoGP plans, rumors are already circulating that Honda is pressuring Dorna to abolish the rookie rule which obliges rookies in MotoGP to do at least one year in a satellite team before moving to a factory team. -Honda has their eyes on Marc Marquez.
One thing for sure is we are gona miss Stoners slides, and i personally believe Stoner will do a come back .
MotoGP Sepang Test
The 3 day test sessions at Sepang ended today and seams all teams are happy with the numbers achieved on their new 1000cc machines, Stoner managed to do the fastest lap 1:59.607 . Rossi also made great progress with the new GP12 and still fine-tuning it.
I can’t wait for the season to start and hear these new 1000cc machines live at the opening round in Qatar.

Thats racing
Sad day
I was watching the Malaysian round of the MotoGP from the office today and on the 3rd lap Simoncelli slides but somehow manages a save which almost brought the bike up again and unfortunately across the track and into the path of riders Colin Edwards and Valentino Rossi.
Both Edwards and Rossi crashed into Simoncelli at the same time, Simoncelli was rushed to the medical center but he succumbed to his injuries at 11:56am local time.
Marco was a great racer we all enjoyed watching him race, he was the spice of the MotoGP.
Ciao super SEC .

Nice Ad !
But aren’t these almost the same features of the 2011 model?
The 2012 face lifted Blade
All the info leaked so far is that it got a simple makeover, new Big Piston Showa forks…the rest of the mechanical and electrical improvements to be discovered.
Lets go green
Lauren Vickers portraying as Mother Nature for the 2011 LCR Honda Pramac eco-friendly campaign, the Pramac team decided to go green and was the first to use clean energy to power their garage.
Now would that lure into going green? if it doesn’t then maybe the none cropped version will.
Shoulder lack strength
Last night qualifying battle was between the two Repsol Honda team mates Stoner and Pedrosa, but Stoner was faster and managed to beat Pedrosa…Lorenzo came 3rd.
The surprise was that Rossi came 9th and after qualifying Rossi said that his shoulder was fine now but lack enough strength to keep up the pace, on the technical side he also confirmed that they made some improvement to the bike and there is a lot to be made but its not possible at time being.
Tonight at 10pm the real race starts, and we believe its going to be very competitive.
Go Dani go
Dani Pedrosa delivered a spectacle performance yesterday at Sachsenring, the star of the race was Rossi who made a great come back and was about to finish with a podium spot but Stoner managed to over take him at the final corner of the race.
