Pedrosa Pimpin Tim Honda, Rossi Menurun




 Honda membuktikan bahwa mereka memang pantas disegani oleh tim mana pun pada kompetisi MotoGP 2011 ini. Tim asal Jepang tersebut kembali mendominasi latihan bebas di Jerez, Spanyol, Sabtu (2/4/2011).

Tak seperti pada dua sesi latihan hari sebelumnya, pada latihan bebas ketiga ini Honda menempatkan tiga pebalapnya sekaligus di barisan depan. Seperti biasa, duo Repsol Honda memimpin catatan waktu terbaik disusul pebalap Gresini Honda.

Kali ini, Dani Pedrosa mencatat waktu terbaik 1 menit 38,864 detik dan unggul cukup jauh dari rekan setimnya, Casey Stoner, yang terpaut 0,307 detik. Gap ini merupakan yang terbesar karena pada latihan bebas kedua Pedrosa hanya unggul 0,188 detik atas juara dunia 2007 tersebut–pada latihan bebas pertama Stoner tercepat dan hanya unggul 0,028 detik atas Pedrosa.

Pada latihan terakhir ini, Marco Simoncelli mulai memberikan ancaman setelah dia mencatat waktu terbaik ketiga dengan selisih 0,491 detik dari Pedrosa. Jika mampu mempertahankan performanya, bukan tak mungkin Simoncelli akan mewujudkan tekadnya untuk mengalahkan Valentino Rossi dan Jorge Lorenzo dalam perebutan podium nomor tiga di GP Spanyol ini–Simoncelli mengakui, ia sulit mengalahkan duo Repsol Honda yang memang sangat cepat.

Pebalap Yamaha yang berstatus juara bertahan, Lorenzo, harus puas di posisi keempat. Meskipun demikian, dia masih mampu mencatat waktu lebih bagus dari rivalnya, Rossi (Ducati), yang kali ini melorot lagi ke posisi keenam. Padahal, pada latihan pertama Rossi di urutan ketiga dan pada latihan kedua turun ke posisi kelima, yang justru disodok oleh pebalap Pramac Racing, Randy de Puniet.

Posisi ketujuh ditempati rookie MotoGP 2011, Cal Crutchlow. Dia satu strip lebih bagus dari rekan setimnya di Yamaha Tech 3, Colin Edwards. Di belakang duo satelit Yamaha tersebut ada rekan setim Lorenzo, Ben Spies, yang diikuti pebalap ketiga Repsol Honda, Andrea Dovizioso.

Pada pukul 13.55-14.55 waktu setempat atau 18.55-19.55 WIB, semua pebalap akan tampil di sesi kualifikasi. Ini untuk menentukan posisi pebalap saat melakukan start pada balapan pada hari Minggu (3/4/2011).

2012 aston martin lagonda review with specification

When Aston Martin took the veil off its Lagonda concept last month in Geneva, some were surprised to find a crossover-utility vehicle sitting in front of them. So you might be forgiven for assuming that when the reborn Lagonda eventually comes to market, it would take the same form. Especially since reports have already surfaced on the platform it will use. But according to new reports, the serial Lagonda will be anything but.
