Pedrosa tries 2014 RC213V HONDA

Dani Pedrosa completed his first 'shakedown' laps on a prototype version of the 2014 Honda RC213VMotoGP machine, but will not race it in the short term.

The world championship leader completed 62 laps of the Aragon circuit - alongside Honda, Yamaha and Suzuki riders - during testing on Wednesday, finishing the day third fastest with a best time of 1m 48.928 set on his current bike.

"It's been a positive day of testing,” he said. “We focused more on the actual bike doing several tests with different rear shocks to find more grip especially in the exit of the corners. I am quite happy as we found something good.”

Pedrosa, whose best lap time was 0.852s from Yamaha's Jorge Lorenzo and half-a-second from team-mate Marc Marquez, then said of the 2014 machine:

“We also did a kind of 'shakedown' of the 2014 prototype. I did just two exits and a total of nine laps, basically to get the first impression and give to the engineers some feedback. The bike is ok, but at the moment we need more time to understand it, so in the short term I will not use it.”

Pedrosa - who switched to a 2013 prototype in July of last season - will not test on Thursday, when Marquez intends to try the 2014 machine.

Menyingkapi kenaikan Harga KP yang dipicu Kenaikan Harga BBM Bersubsidi.

Assalamuallaikum Wr Wb

Selamat Hari Rabu broo-Sist

menjelang pengumuman kenaikan harga BBM yang dibarengi dengan kenaikan harga kebutuhan pokok menyebabkan kepanikan Luar Biasa pada masyarakat kalangan ekonomi menengah ke bawah.
hal ini menurut gue (cieee ;) hal yang wajar wajar saja dan gue (ciee;lagi :D) angap ini hal yang ga begitu gue pikirin banget soalnya memang kalo kita bisa mengikuti pasar global yang mungkin broo sist ga mau tau karena kebutuhan pokok itu harus terpenuhi dan harus ga kurang hehehee...(sama ma gue juga, cuma ni Pasar global gue ga bahas lho xixixxixi )

menurut pandangan gue soal kenaikan bbm ini adalah akalan akalan orang miskin (Para Pejabat Negara) yg pengen bertambah kaya dengan nilai jual bbm naik sekian persen memicu kenaikan pajak memicu kenaikan harga kebutuhan pokok memicu bom waktu..untuk mengeruk uang BLT yang sudah diberikan rakyat dan ditarik lagi ke Pendapatan Negara hahahhahaa...dan menaikan Gaji Para Pegawai Sipil sekian persen dan ini retorikanya agar kita yang swasta lebih bkerja keras yg nota bene hasilnya ga berubah (hadehh baru ngerasaain naik gaji UMR ehh dihajar lagi sama bbm ini belum lagi buat rakyat yg lebih susah dari gue..ya elaaahhhh...)

pemicu kenaikan harga bbm ini dilihat dari beberapa sektor banyaknya korupsi dan makelar makelar nakal dan beberapa yang tidak ketahui sama kita bener gak??
yang berkembang di masyarakat BBM bersubsidi akan menyengsarakan rakyat bawah...karena yg memakai bbm bersubsidi adalah kalangan rakyat bawah, gue masih bingung kalo di POM Bensin lihat mobil plat hitam pakai BBM Bersubsidi dari yang harganya hampir 1 M sampai odong odong...mereka itu kalangan bawah juga yah??? hadehhhh...broo sissttt sebenernya rakyat kita yg sakit.

dan demikian pula dengan harga minyak yang terus naik hingga mendekati US$100, bagai mana pemerintah menyingkapinya :
sebenernya sih..awal tahun harus sudah naik harga bbm bersubsidi karena sesuatu hal dari Pak SBY selaku koordinator negri ini menahan dan mungkin akhirnya mules juga hahahaa...berikut kutipannya>>>

Pasal 8 Ayat 10 Undang-Undang Nomor 19 Tahun 2012 tentang Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Negara (APBN) Tahun 2013 memberikan wewenang kepada pemerintah untuk menyesuaikan harga BBM bersubsidi. Namun setelah lima bulan berjalan, presiden tidak menggunakan kewenangan tersebut.

nah...broo sist bagaimana? pak SBY menahan keuntungan untuk para makelar nihhh...dan beberapa sektor ditingkatkan..dan broo sist mungkin kalo liat di http://lpse.lkpp.go.id/eproc/app berapa banyak uang rakyat yang digunakan kembali untuk pengembangan sektor rill..namun itu hanya sekian persen dari APBN.
dan belum lagi yang dikorupsi (lierrr ahh)
wacana ini hanya sekedar coffee break aja broo sistt

sebenernya negara ini sudah sakit oleh rakyatnya sendiri dari kalangan pengusaha sampai para makelar yang makin menyedot subsidi..dengan dalih menaikan angka keuntungan yg sebesar besarnya...
dan menekan angka pengeluaran sekecil kecilnya diakalin..diutak utik ...ujung ujungnya kite kite kena dampaknya ihhhh...gregetann dehhh..hahhahaaa

mulailah menjadi lebih bijak dalam berpikir dan bertindak (moga moga naiknya cuma 1%)

Pole position, 1m 40.893s (Record)

Honda MotoGP rider quotes
Dani Pedrosa, Repsol Honda: pole position, 1m 40.893s

I am very happy, because we put in a great lap and took a great qualifying time. It was a fantastic pole position for me. We also broke the circuit record and were able to do so in front of the home fans. I am also happy about improving our race pace, as this is the most important thing. We hope to put on a good show tomorrow and take full advantage of the front row start.

Alvaro Bautista, Team GO&FUN Honda Gresini: 4th, 1m 41.714s

Today we have to be happy because we got really close to the front row of the grid for tomorrow’s race. I immediately felt good with the soft tires for qualifying and I was able to push with conviction. We made several tests to evaluate the durability of the tires for the race because this will be the biggest problem for everyone. In qualifying we went back to yesterday’s set-up because the other ideas we tried in practice didn’t give me confidence. Tomorrow will be a very tough race but my starting position is good and so I’ll exploit it to try and stay with the leaders. Tyre management will be crucial for a good result.

Marc Marquez, Repsol Honda: 6th, 1m 41.842s

I am fairly happy and satisfied, because we achieved our objective of getting onto either the first or second row. In the morning I felt more comfortable, with the track temperatures lower than in the afternoon. When they rose sharply, we had more problems. Despite this, I think that we have done a good job. We will try to test out a few things in the warm-up tomorrow and see if we can gain a little more confidence when the track is hotter.

Stefan Bradl, LCR Honda MotoGP: 10th, 1m 42.090s

Obviously this is a disappointing qualifying for us as we were expecting a second-row start. We missed some time and I lapped all alone for the whole session, which is unusual for the new 15-minute system. We changed the plan a bit during the session – I did three laps on the first tire and second on the second tire, missing a few tenths to make the second row. It’s not the end of the world anyway because we should be able to do a good race tomorrow. Over race distance our potential is higher than what we showed today, so I still feel very confident.

Bryan Staring, GO&FUN Honda Gresini: 22nd, 1m 45.441s

I have made some progress but not enough to get higher up the grid. I was struggling for grip in the fast corners, where I found cornering difficult. After the progress this morning I expected a bigger step forward, but it didn’t happen.

Pol Espargaro, Tuenti HP40 Pons: pole position, 1m 46.410s

I’m especially happy because this really is my home race – I live only five kilometres away, so it’s very special to get pole here. I need a good race tomorrow to recuperate some points on Scott, so we need to finish the weekend well, doing a good job and staying focused.

Scott Redding ,Marc VDS Racing Team: 2nd, 1m 47.029s

I’m happy, but also a little frustrated, because we had an issue with the engine during qualifying. The speed just wasn’t there and I was struggling to pass slower riders out of the slipstream on the straight. It meant I had to out brake them into turn one instead and that cost me time. The tires were dropping off after just three or four laps, which meant the rear was spinning up hard instead of driving forward. We need to have a little look tonight to see if we can find something more for tomorrow, but to be on the front row to keep the pressure on means I’m pretty happy with today.

Esteve Rabat, Tuenti HP 40 Pons: 3rd, 1m 47.076s

I’m very happy to be on the front row here at home, but we made a mistake during qualifying. We had one good tire but we didn’t choose the right one. The main thing for tomorrow is that we have a good rhythm, but we could’ve done a better job today.

Honda Moto3 Rider quotes
Isaac Vinales, Bimbo Ongetta-Centro Seta: 7th, 1m 51.966s

I am very pleased with the work done during these days. Being the fastest yesterday afternoon was very good and I am happy also to have achieved seventh place in training today. I feel like I’m giving everything and I hope for a good start tomorrow so I can fight with the front group. We have to work even more on our acceleration, but otherwise I’m very comfortable. The team is working very well since the start of the season – being the first Honda was one of our goals and what we have achieved today. I am milliseconds apart from rivals like Efren Vazquez and Marquez, so tomorrow will be a fun race if I can fight with them. Being in the top five would be great, but a top-ten score would also be a good result for me.

Jack Miller, Caretta Technology – RTG: 8th, 1m 52.060s

I was lacking a slipstream – everyone was getting them off me and I got none. You try and get one from another rider and they sit up and then follow you! The handling is pretty good, though we’ve got a bit of chatter that we’ll try to get rid of. We should be right with the tires – hard front and medium rear, the hard rear is a bit slippery. I think we can slipstream the KTMs on the straight in the race, so we’ll be good enough to fight with them.

Niccolo Antonelli, GO&FUN Gresini: 9th, 1m 52.105s

This qualifying was not so bad, but of course we would like to have been a row further forward. The race will be long and difficult in these conditions. If I can get a good start I think I will be able to run with a fast group and then we will see what happens in the last few laps.
