Paddock Girls MotoGP 2010 Sepang

Sepang MotoGP 2010 Drama

Once again, history wrote on Sepang circuit las Sunday. 2 Spaniard rider sealing their championship on 2 different class. Toni Elias sealing his Moto2 world champion and then 1 hour later, Jorge Lorenzo for the first time wrote his name on MotoGP world champion. Although Lorenzo only finished at 3rd place, but that is more than enough for Jorge to seal the championship. 

The drama begin from Casey Stoner. This Ducati rider as the last year winner, crash on the beginning of the race. Stoner was caught out by cold tyre. Next drama came from Valentino Rossi. Valentino Rossi wrote his 46th wins with Yamaha at Sepang after a tight race with Andrea Dovizioso. Rossi strikes back to the top after very bad start. He drop into 1th position at the beginning of the race. But Rossi still a Rossi. With his experience and skill, finally he can pass other riders into 1st place.

Back to the drama, Jorge Lorenzo as usual on this years, he make an unique celebration by appearing Super Mario Bros. A character game legend that came from Italian. I'm not sure with the meaning of this. But some people said that Jorge want to celebrate the 25th birthday of Mario. Some people also said that this celebration was try to prove that Jorge was better than Rossi. Super Mario character came from Italian, same with Valentino Rossi.

Jorge Lorenzo also put his proud thanks to his fans from whole world by wrote "thank you" in 6 different language on the back side of his mechanic team t-shirt.

Final Decision: Pedrosa Absence On Sepang

Finally the rumors was answered. Dani Pedrosa absence on Sepang MotoGP this weekend. It means that Jorege Lorenzo chance to win the title for this season is bigger. Pedrosa lost his points from last 2 grand prix series, Motegi, and next race at Sepang. 

Quoted from MotoGP.com

It has been confirmed today that Repsol Honda Team rider Dani Pedrosa will not take part in this weekend’s Malaysian Grand Prix. Pedrosa underwent surgery on Saturday to fix a titanium plate to the collarbone he broke during practice for last weekend’s Grand Prix of Japan. After the successful operation, there was a very slim chance that the Spaniard would be fit enough to make the journey from Barcelona to Malaysia and attempt to take part in this weekend’s MotoGP race.

Pedrosa will race again at Australian grand prix, October 17th. It means that the last prediction about Pedrosa was correct. So once again, Andrea Dovizioso will be a single racer for HRC. Last season, Dovizioso did not finished at Sepang. This weekend, Dovizioso will fight after some good progress result by wins on 2nd place at Motegi, Japan. Let see how HRC can survive in the middle of Ducati and Yamaha's pressure.

Pedrosa Ready For Sepang MotoGP

According to TVE, Dani Pedrosa will try to fight at Sepang MotoGP this weekend. This rumors was release after Dr Mir, lead Doctor for Pedrosa's surgery, made a green light signal for Pedrosa to race again at Sepang. Latest information said that this HRC rider will catch a flight from Barcelona to Kuala Lumpur for MotoGP. 

After a successful surgery, Pedrosa still cannot move his arm. But there was a good improvement after physiotherapy. 

"My condition has improved in the last two days, and now I'm making a passive recovery with my physiotherapist. Yet I can not move my arm for myself, but I'm getting better with massage," said Pedrosa after spending review Dexeus clinic, where he underwent surgery last Saturday by Dr. Xavier Mir.

Pedrosa was not optimistic will race at Sepang. His first target was Phillip Island. But after his condition getting better in last two days, Pedrosa said that he still have a chance for Sepang MotoGP this weekend. Maybe he will miss the Free Practice on next Friday but still try for the Sunday's race.

The main problem for Pedrosa is his shoulder. After Dr. Mir attached the titanium plate for his collarbone, he has to make sure that the plate were perfectly attached on Pedrosa's. However, left open a door to hope: "I just did Another review and Clearly That the clavicle shows plate is attached and Securely That I am Recovering well from the operation."

Now we all waiting for Pedrosa, is he ready for Sepang next Sunday? If Pedrosa ready, Lorenzo must be aware and keep an eye to this Spaniard HRC rider.
