MotoGP: Valentino Rossi “I like Assen very much”
The Ducati rider from Pesaro is aiming for a good feeling with the Dutch track
Valentino Rossi, after the euphoria of the World Ducati Week, is ready to "dive back" into the racing atmosphere of the world championship. The nine-time Ducati world champion loves Assen, a track that has given him seven victories and which reminds him of great races. The word is up to him.
“Assen is a great track, I like it a lot and it brings back a lot of good memories. We will try to start from this good feeling with the track to improve our results a little. For the moment we can only work on the set-up to fine-tune the bike as much as possible to return to the level we had before Silverstone, which was a very tough race. In Barcelona but also in the dry sessions at Le Mans, we were a little faster so we need to at least get back to that pace. If it were to rain, we already know that we could be more competitive."

Assen was a beautiful circuit….before they modified/crippled it!!!
very true!!!!
The idea of hampering historic circuits has also become evident in F.1 where tracks like Hockenheim or Silverstone or Zandworth, true temples of speed that have been horrendously mutilated.
And let's not talk about tracks like Imola (thank goodness they use it in SBK), Paul Ricard, Dijon, Brand's Hutch (which is also used for SBK), Kyalamy which have been set aside for video game tracks like Abu Dhabi and the like .
All in favor of a show that no longer exists.
It's really nice to race on a circuit like Imola. If you want to risk dying.
yes yes without considering the fact that everything is done to develop frames that immediately heat up the tires and then race at night on dirty sandy tracks where not even the camels deign to watch the race!!!
And on a circuit that also sucks!
MMhh I see it as tough, long and very technical track, if they don't find the setup the Ducatis will arrive after a month.
After a month they have the "time"!
Otherwise, put it more or less at Christmas...
Valentino Rossi on the Ducati is a marriage that doesn't work: Dorna can afford to have a world champion on a bike that doesn't seem to be a winner. And in your opinion is the Doctor still a winner?
"I'm quiet. Valentino will be riding a competitive bike next year, but I can't tell you what it is. It's still too early to talk: in 2013 we will see Rossi fight for victory again...".
Carmelo Ezpeleta
yellowish keep this page, as you can see the uncle was there, there is, and there will be and maybe maybe some jump on the sofa will come.... but maybe !!!!!
...having breakfast at the bar I also read today's Gazzetta dello Sport, the sentence is faithfully reported...Uncle is thinking about future sponsors at the moment...in my opinion he is rubbing his hands over the fact that Rossi is going badly, he is thinking big to the rescue in the next few years, if there is one...in any case he will always land on his feet...W Lo TION!!!
Guys, I wouldn't worry too much about where Rossi puts his ass next year, in my opinion he'll stay in Ducati; Ezpeleta is interested in Rossi being present in MotoGP and being competitive, this is beyond doubt. Rossi always remains the No. 1 media product par excellence, if he then becomes competitive again on a Ducati or another motorbike, welcome for the simple reason that a MotoGP with several title contenders is more fun. However, I doubt that Rossi will win any other titles in his career...
