Rossi akan jadi tandem Lorenzo di 2013-2014 … Akan kah motogp tetap seru ditonton?

Bro sekalian, akhirnya konfirmasi berlabuhnya Valentino Rossi kembali ke tim motogp Yamaha diberitakan langsung oleh Yamaha Factory Racing dan situr resmi motogp. Rossi telah meneken kontrak 2 tahun dengan Yamaha yakni di tahun 2013-2014 dan akan kembali menjadi tandem Jorge Lorenzo

Melihat konstelasi ini, sepertinya kekuatan motogp sudah semakin terkuak … Dan imho, secara diatas kertas tim Yamaha Factory Racing seakan menjadi tim yang kuat tahun depan dan memiliki kans beasr mendominasi. BUkannya mengecilkan tim besar seperti repsol honda dan yamaha tech 3 tapi gimana lagi … Tahun depan nggak ada stoner di repsol honda, penggantinya adalah marc marquez yang notabenenya rookie … Dan seumur umur moto gp jarang banget rookie bisa langsung nyodok jadi numero uno …

Lalu bagaimana konstelasi pembalap ditahun depan . . . siapa yang akan menggantikan Rossi? Kemungkinan besar adalah dovizioso . . . pengalaman membalap di tim Factory dan darah italianos menjadikan figur Dovi menjadi pas untuk menggantikan kedudukan Rossi di Desmo GP. lalu bagaimana tentang Iannone yang sempat dikabari sedang test GP12? sepertinya Iannone akan menempati salah satu seat motor satelit Ducati

Lha terus Kalo Tech 3 ditinggalin sama DOvi siapa yang bakal ngegantiin? ada kemungkinan kompetitor marc Marquez di Moto2 yakni Pol Espargaro . . .

Bagaimana menurut bro sekalian ?

YAMAHA FACTORY RACING PRESS STATEMENT

Friday 10th August, 2012 – Gerno di Lesmo (Italy)

It is with great pleasure that Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd confirms the signing of Valentino Rossi to ride for the Yamaha Factory Racing MotoGP Team for 2013 and 2014.

Valentino Rossi first joined Yamaha in 2004 and achieved four MotoGP World Champion titles with the Yamaha YZR-M1 in 2004 & 2005 and again in 2008 & 2009. He won 46 Grand Prix races with Yamaha over a 7 year period before leaving at the end of the 2010 MotoGP season.

Rossi, who is presently 8th in the Championship standings, will partner Jorge Lorenzo who currently leads the 2012 MotoGP World Championship by 23 points, having taken five victories from the first ten completed races of the 18 race series.

Lin Jarvis

Managing Director, Yamaha Motor Racing

“This announcement is once again excellent news for Yamaha. In June we were able to sign Jorge Lorenzo for the 2013-14 campaign and now we are able to confirm Valentino Rossi for the next two years. In doing so we have been able to put together the strongest possible team to challenge for victories and to promote the Yamaha brand.

We have run this ‘super team’ together in 2008, 2009 and 2010 and during that time we achieved the ‘triple crown’ titles with Rider, Manufacturer and Team World Championship victories for three consecutive years.

The target for the future is obvious and we will do our utmost to achieve our goals.

I have no doubt that with the experience, knowledge, skills and speed of these two great champion riders we will be able to challenge for many race wins and for the 2013 & 2014 World Championship titles.

The signing of Valentino completes our future planning for the Yamaha Factory Racing MotoGP Team. Now that this is done we will put our 100% efforts into completing the job at hand and to supporting Ben Spies and Jorge Lorenzo in their search for race victories and for Jorge’s 2012 World Championship title challenge.”
