Giornata diversa dal solito quella trascorsa in Indonesia da Jorge Lorenzo e Ben Spies che hanno condiviso la loro esperienza sulle due ruote con alcuni dei giovani piloti provenienti dalla Yamaha R Series Cup, dispensando loro preziosi consigli sulle posizioni di guida, le entrate in curva e il sorpasso. Dopo la sessione di coaching mattutina, Lorenzo si è affiancato a Yamaha Motor Indonesia per il lancio della nuova Yamaha Byson davanti ad oltre 3000 rivenditori Yamaha indonesiani riuniti per uno speciale evento tenutosi poco fuori Jakarta. La moto di strada Byson 150cc è il nuovo prototipo di punta per il mercato indonesiano. Anche il compagno di squadra Spies avrebbe dovuto presenziare ma un'intossicazione alimentare gli ha impedito di partecipare.
"È stato un piacere incontrare le nuove promesse del motociclismo indonesiano", ha dichiarato Lorenzo. "Sono dell'idea che con l'aiuto di buoni insegnanti possano diventare piloti professionisti. È stato inoltre molto importante per noi incontrare i rivenditori Yamaha indonesiani questo pomeriggio: spero che il nostro intervento li abbia motivati per un 2012 di successo".
"Sono felice di questo incontro con i fan indonesiani", ha commentato Spies. "Sono sempre stati gentili ed ospitali. Mi è davvero dispiaciuto rinunciare all'incontro coi rivenditori del pomeriggio, è stato un vero colpo di sfortuna. Ora vado a Bali per riposare qualche giorno e recuperare la forma, ma sto già pensando ad un'altra occasione per tornare qui e rivedere tutti

The second day of the Wrooom Press Ski Meeting at Madonna di Campiglio saw Filippo Preziosi (Ducati Corse General Manager) inform the international press regarding the technical aspects of the Desmosedici GP12 that Valentino Rossi and Nicky Hayden will ride in the upcoming test at Sepang (31 January – 2 February). “As is the case every year, it’s a pleasure to kick off our season in such a nice setting as Madonna di Campiglio,” Preziosi began before providing a brief summary of the work schedule that led to the assembly of the GP12, currently taking place in Borgo Panigale. “Over the recent months, we followed an intensive, consistent test program, which culminated with the two-day post-race test in Valencia. By analyzing the data-acquisition information, the riders’ comments and the setup sheets, we defined the target values for the new frame geometry. Now, with Jeremy (Burgess), Juan (Martinez) and our riders, we’ll work at the track to define the bike’s base setup so that we can then proceed with the customary development work that’s typically done during winter testing, with the goal of starting a trend of improvement in terms of competitiveness. Normally, it takes two years to complete the process from the calculation stage, to design, to component construction, to test-bench ‘shakedown,’ to track testing, to racing. By compressing this process down to a span of just months, we’ve accepted a challenge that we know will be very difficult, but we believe it’s possible. All this is thanks to the extraordinary group that includes Valentino and Nicky, who last year agreed to a number of tests that often affected their performance, as well as our team, our designers and our sponsors—in particular the Title Sponsor, a partner that has always been steadfastly at our side. Ducati is a company that has already faced significant challenges in the past, and I’m proud to be a part of it.”

A new two-years contract with Ducati and a great trust in the italian factory. "We’re starting with a different spirit,” Valentino Rossi began with a smile. “When I came Wrooom, I was still healing from my shoulder operation, and after that, the season didn’t go at all like we’d hoped. For this year, Filippo (Preziosi) designed a different bike, and they’ve made a big effort at Ducati to have it in time for the start of the winter tests. I visited the factory and saw it on a computer, and it’s beautiful. We’re not expecting it to be immediately perfect at Sepang, but rather to understand if we’ve worked in the proper direction. We’re very realistic, and our goal is to reduce the gap to our competition, step by step, working in a logical way, and from there to be able to refine the details in order to be competitive and to try and win. One of the most important things for going fast is to make the tyres work as they're able to, so together with Filippo, we’ve tried to come up with a bike that will let them perform as well as possible. We’ll see if we’ve managed it. I like working with Ducati. I feel good here because there’s a nice atmosphere and we all have faith".

Fans and snow, this is the atmosphere of Wrooom, a special red-event in Madonna di Campiglio (Italy) for Ducati and Ferrari. Hundreds of 'tifosi' waited for the arrival of Valentino & Nicky yesterday night. Outside the Pala Wrooom a wonderful 1199 Ducati Panigale with the colours of the italian national flag.
