This proves that Rossi has not completely mastered his new ride in MotoGP 2021. Previously, the 42-year-old rider had indeed complained about the grip on the back of his YZR-M1.
If you look at Rossi’s time since the third day yesterday, the racer seems to have still not succeeded in finding a solution to this problem.
However, Petronas Yamaha is still quite calm because they still have enough time to provide the best service to the living legend of MotoGP.
Returning to the MotoGP 2021 pre-season test, one of the riders who managed to steal the attention was Aleix Espargaro. The rider belonging to the Aprilia Gresini team occupied the top position several times with the latest version of the RS-GP motorbike.
