“I grew up a lot in the last two years, because at the end of 2005 I had a great career and I had won all the important targets so far,” he said. “125, 250 and then five titles in a row in MotoGP with two different bikes – I felt unbeatable. But in 2006 and 2007 I learnt to lose and this has been very important. I came out much stronger and my level of concentration and effort to win this championship has been higher than ever before.”
“I had some good offers at other factories, but I already changed bike once and proved everything I wanted to and so there is no need to do that again. Also I am no longer 20 years old and I need a good atmosphere in my team in order to keep me focused and happy, and I have this at Yamaha. The atmosphere in our team, from the Japanese all the way down to the garage is fantastic and this is what makes me want to stay.”

ketika gw kepergok beli buku biografi rossi skitar 2 thn lalu, temen gw smpet ktwa en said something like “sbgitunya seh..?”
gw surprise juga liat reaksi itu. gw pikir hal wajar kalo smua org punya idol? mgkin beda2 genre aja. ada yg demen ama musisi, pemaen pilm, sportsmen so on.
kebtulan, gw punya bbrapa idol di berbagai genre. gw suka leah dizon, roger federer, michael schumacher, brad pitt, muse, ac milan, metallica dan tentu saja the doctor. tipikalnya sama, the best di bidangnya dan yg terpenting, inspiring. musuh terberat menjadi seorang idol/superstar adalah diri sendiri. kita bisa banyak belajar dari pengalaman hidup superstar, terutama skali di saat sang idol sdg melalui masa2 sulit untuk akhirnya kembali jadi yg terbaik.
semua juara bisa kalah. tapi ga smua yg kalah itu bisa comeback. kebanyakan yg terjadi adalah, setelah kalah sekali, lalu kalah dan kalah lagi, dan terakhir pensiun sambil meratapi nasib dan dilupakan org. so, gw bangga rossi juara lagi. gw yakin 2 tahun tanpa gelar kmaren tidaklah mudah untuk dilalui 🙂
gw skr lg terpuruk oleh suatu masalah. tapi berkaca pada kisah para idol yg bisa comeback, cukup memotivasi gw untuk bisa solve any problems. silahkan tertawa kalo gw smpet membuat sebuah situs yg gw dedikasikan buat leah dizon (yg mana gw ga dapet apa2 selaen fun) ato ktika gw sampe batalin smua janji bisnis hanya demi nonton motogp. they’re inspiring. itu aja
“sorry for the delay…”
btw trafiknya kok amblas gitu bos? perasaan dulu gila abis deh 😉
