Yamaha Motor Racing Managing Director Lin Jarvis, had big dreams for MotoGP return staged in Indonesia. Therefore, he asked for encouragement from all sides, including the Honda team, in order to urge Dorna (MotoGP rights holders) to realize these targets. We've been told about it officially to Drona and requested strong support to the Honda, including Yamaha's own, that race in Indonesia could be implemented as soon as possible. I hope the Sentul Circuit can be modified, or there is a new circuit in Indonesia in the future. But of course, this also depends on the Government of Indonesia, "said Jarvis, Saturday (06/25/2011), ahead of the MotoGP race at Assen Circuit, Netherlands.
"So, I asked for support from the media and also from industry such as Yamaha and Honda, as well as the Federation of Motorsport Indonesia so that MotoGP could soon return to Indonesia."
Jarvis also hope there are riders Indonesia that could arise in the arena of world motor racing, although not directly to the most prestigious class, MotoGP. He hoped the Indonesian young talent can appear first in the lowest class, Moto3-which replaces the 125cc class next season, got the attention of the Yamaha and Honda.
Indeed, the Sentul Circuit had seized the attention of the world when it became one of the organizers of MotoGP (500cc class at that time still). However, it only lasts until the end of 1997 and thereafter MotoGP never again return to the country.
In an interview in the hospitality Yamaha, Jarvis also spoke on the condition his team now compared to when there is Valentino Rossi. According to him, this time a very harmonious relationship internally because there was no tension between the rider.
"It is very different position when Jorge and Valentino a team, compared with now, because there are two riders are tough competition resulting in a hard internally. It was good, but sometimes can create a difficult situation," said Jarvis.
"But now, Lorenzo was a champion and Spies continues to grow. So, team harmony is maintained because of good relations between the two riders. This is very important for the integrity of a team in a live competition.
"Regarding our current position (in the standings), I was a little disappointed because we finally had to go down. But it might be good for the rider because it is easier to pursue than to defend. Moreover, competition is still very long."
Based on the calendar, this season there will be 19 series, and the Dutch Grand Prix is the seventh series. From the total of the race, Repsol Honda rider, Casey Stoner, topped by collecting 136 points, followed by Lorenzo with 108 points. Meanwhile, Ben Spies, who won the Dutch Grand Prix, now in the order of 6, which stood at 61 points.
