In the GP of Germany of the MotoGP , Valentino Rossi will start from 16th place after the time obtained in qualifying. The “Doctor” tries to look for the positives: “I improved a bit, but we are all very close and many are fast. Qualifying here is always difficult and you can see it from the many top riders at the bottom of the grid – he says Rossi -. We also have to work on the details to analyze the race conditions, because the choice of tire is open and we have to understand how to interpret the grip ”.
The track is considered suitable for Yamaha e Suzuki ma Valentino Rossi he laughs: “Many have told me and wrote it, but I don’t remember Yamaha e Suzuki so strong here in the past. There are a lot of long corners here with hot tires and our bike suffers. It’s not easy: fourth rare it goes strong, but the others Yamaha they all seem to have problems ”.
The difficulties for Rossi remain and the 9-time world champion recalled when they started: “Until 2018 I felt strong, I was doing well and I had collected many podiums, then in 2019 something changed and from there it was necessary to work on the bike in a very different way: in my career I have always preferred a harder rear of the bike and instead these tires are a big problem because you have to be softer and I can’t take advantage of the benefits of my riding style ”.
Rossi he knows well that the race will be a battle: “I think it will be difficult to use the hard rear tire, it will be a long and hard race and I will try to improve the position. Marquez ? He is strong, he is in the race, I see him competitive for Sunday ”.
The agreement between the Ducati and the VR46 from 2022 and Rossi confirmed again: “Yes, we should announce it shortly: to Ducati we said we would like to choose the riders and they have shown that they really believe in our Academy. However, it is very difficult for me to drive one of these Ducati “.
