An Addendum to Valentino Rossi’s Options for the Future
If you haven’t already read David Emmett’s excellent analysis of Valentino Rossi’s options in MotoGP, you owe it to your MotoGP-loving self to sit down and digest David’s thorough game theory walk-through on the nine-time World Champion’s prospects in the premier class. David’s analysis is spot-on, and approaches the impending 2012 mega silly season from a logical point-of-view (for those who aren’t keeping track, virtually every contract in MotoGP is up for renewal this year). I ...

Rossi Still Continues Whining
Jerez - Valentino Rossi was a surprise when the second free practice at the Jerez circuit on Friday (27/04/2012) afternoon. In the sessions that took place in the wet track conditions, "The Doctor" took second place. However, when appearing in qualifying on Saturday (04.28.2012), which took place in dry conditions, Rossi was thrown from the top 10.
Italian rider was only able to be ranked 13th. He left 3.429 seconds from Yamaha rider Jorge Lorenzo, who occupy the pole position. Rossi is not only losing two Ducati satellite team rider, but also behind the rider in the team category of CRT, Randy de Puniet (Aprilia), who in the race on Sunday (4/29/2012) This will start from position-10.
After qualifying, Rossi again reveals the difficulty. Seven-time MotoGP world champion admitted that he had not been able to adapt to the Ducati, as well as front-end issues that still haunt.
"The problem is that I lost a lot of time when entering the corner," said nine-time world champion grand prix this. "I was not fast enough to bring the bike into the corner, and make the bike up in the corner.
"I need more time to arrive at the point of maximum or I need more close the gas valve so that the motor remains in the ground. I lost a lot of time in this area."
However, the results achieved much in contrast to Rossi's teammate, Nicky Hayden. 2006 world champion could play well so it will start from third place, behind Lorenzo and Repsol Honda rider, Dani Pedrosa.
Well, it means that there are other issues that make the Rossi camp are not competitive. Suspected, the lack of experience factor makes Rossi and his crews have not been able to adapt to the Ducati on the second season of this so that they cannot even find the right setting.
However, Rossi denied. The former Honda and Yamaha rider is still defended his decision to bring his own crew, led by Jeremy Burgess.
"I know what to do to get faster, but unfortunately it did not work with Ducati," said Rossi. "My team is certain to be in the same position. During 30 years with a number of different motors and all the tricks they've done to get faster. However, it does not work with this bike."
Thus, Rossi and his team had to work extra hard in order to achieve better results during the race later. In the first series in Qatar, April 8, Rossi was in the 12th position in qualifying, and put an end to the night race in 10th place.

2012 Jerez Moto2 Race Result: Close Battle Ended Early By Rain
Results and summary of the Moto2 race at Jerez:
Hans Braumandl Dieter Braun Georg Braun Walter Brehme Jack Brett
RAIN ARRIVES ON CUE FOR ASSEN QUALIFYING
Following a dry free practice this morning, local radar forecasts predicted rain at 15.30, the scheduled start of first qualifying, with most riders trying to get a ‘banker’ lap in before it arrived.
Honda World Superbike rider Jonathan Rea set the fifth fastest time but his team-mate Hiroshi Aoyama was unable to set a competitive time, ending the session in provisional 21st place as French rider Sylvain Guintoli went fastest.
Rea had spent the morning session continuing the work on the front end feeling from his Honda CBR1000RR, while a technical problem and SBK’s new-for-2012 ‘one-bike’ rule limited Aoyama’s track time.
Jonathan Rea – P5 1m38.873s
It was quite a weird session this afternoon, to be honest. My guys in the pitbox were monitoring the weather really closely and we could see on the radar that bang on 3.30 there was going to be a shower, with more to follow. So we knew that the first lap was going to be crucial and went out with the softer tyre but already on the first lap I got some spray on my visor. So you could say I took a slightly more conservative approach to getting a banker in, and even then it was getting heavier. How the other guys went the same speed as they did in the first session is beyond me – I wasn’t wanting to take too many risks. In the free practice we made some OK steps with the bike, which is completely different to the race set-up we had here last year. I’m still lacking a little bit of front-end feel but I think it’s the right way to go and we’re slowly getting it sorted. So, this afternoon was a bit of a wasted session – I was the only guy t o go out on intermediate tyres and the feeling from them wasn’t that good to be honest. If it’s like this again tomorrow, I’ll take to opportunity to go out and build my speed on them because it looks like Sunday might be the same conditions that we had today.
Hiroshi Aoyama – P21 1m41.768s
We didn’t start so well this morning with a technical problem so we missed the beginning of this morning’s session. The team fixed the problem very quickly so I was able to go out for the second half of the free practice. We wanted to try some things but we didn’t have enough time, which was a pity. We were going to re-confirm this afternoon but the rain came so it wasn’t possible. We knew the rain was coming but wanted to check the setting with the harder tyre – I pushed as hard as I could on that tyre but it was quite difficult to get the feeling. So, it’s been a pity to lose the opportunity to check things this morning and to make a good lap time this afternoon. We have another qualifying session tomorrow so I really hope it will be dry for that.
Pieter Breddels – technical co-ordinator
We played around looking for some improvements on some known settings with Jonathan this morning, trying to keep things moving forward. He rode on the harder tyre throughout the session, too. We still haven’t quite found the correct setting for the dry but, with the harder tyre, it wasn’t so bad in the end. This morning we had a technical problem with Hiroshi’s bike which sidelined him for most of the session. This was really disappointing because we needed the time quite badly as we search for a better setting, and that was the morning pretty much lost. In the afternoon the riders only got one dry lap. Jonathan is the master at going fast out of the box so there were no problems, but Hiroshi is a little slower getting up to speed and, with only one lap, it was difficult for him. On wet settings, Jonathan was in the top three, but we may get another chance to work on that tomorrow.

Recall: 2012 BMW S1000RR
BMW Motorrad is recalling 1,414 units of its 2012 BMW S1000RR superbike because of improperly manufactured connecting rod bolts. Due to a manufacturing process error, the connecting rod bolts could become loose during high engine temperatures and/or high engine operating speeds. If the bolts do come loose, the result could be a catastrophic engine failure (their words, not ours). Affecting only bikes made between September 1, 2011 through April 10, 2012, BMW will contact affected S1000RR ...
