Rossi himself predicts that it will be more difficult to race at Portimao on a MotoGP bike.

More power, said Rossi, will make it difficult to avoid the wheelie or when the front tire of the motorbike is lifted.

“Of course with a MotoGP bike it will be more difficult because the speed is higher,” said the winner of the five Portuguese GP races.

“At 3-4 points where you experience big changes in altitude, with a MotoGP bike it will be more difficult to stay on the asphalt,” he concluded.
