Mandalika Concludes Inaugural MotoGP Race under Rain

BY :YUDHA BASKORO
MARCH 21, 2022

Mandalika. Indonesia welcomed the return of MotoGP after 25 years at the brand new Mandalika
International Circuit in Lombok over the weekend. But the main event was interrupted by torrential
rain just before the start to repeat similar delays when the circuit hosted World Superbike races
during its international debut in November.

With the presence of President Joko Widodo and a surprised appearance of a shaman performing
rain-stopping ritual along the pitlane, the race began in a soaked track for 20 laps, seven less than
originally planned. Portugal rider Miguel Oliveira mastered the wet race to clinch his first victory
of the season on a KTM while Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararo finished second from pole position
after an epic podium battle with fellow French rider Johann Zarco, who finished third on a Ducati.

Many Indonesian fans felt disappointed after Marc Marquez couldn’t make it to the start after he
was declared unfit for the race, following a huge crash during the warmup session. But overall, the
event was a success for the country, which has won a 10-year contract from Dorna to host MotoGP.

1. Some Indonesian women are willing to spend a fortune on beauty treatment and skincare products to keep
their skin healthy and glowing. But others choose to buy affordable ones, including those recommended by
their favourite beauty influencers. Some influencers, however, endorse beauty products that appear to be fake
and pose serious health risks. Tasya Farasya, one of Indonesia’s most popular beauty influencers, highlighted
this issue in a recent Instagram story. She called on fellow selebgrams and vloggers to be more careful in
selecting endorsement jobs for beauty and health products.

4. The cone-shaped rice dish known as tumpeng is an inseparable part of celebrations and other important events
in Indonesia. While there can be no doubt about the popularity of tumpeng across all segments of Indonesian
society, the public’s understanding of its philosophical values is less clear. For Raden Ayu Koes Dwayati
Soegondo, the tumpeng, more than just a culinary specialty of a bygone era, is steeped in hidden meanings.
Ayu, who has been working as a tumpeng instructor since the 1970s, describes how the tumpeng symbolizes
the journey of life. “Its basic philosophy is that the more suffering we have to endure, the more mature we
become, as reflected in the process of preparing the tumpeng by heaping rice until it becomes anteng
(steady),” she said during a recent tumpeng workshop at the Soendari Batik & Art Gallery in Malang, East
Java.
