MotoGP GP Andalusia 2020 Monster Yamaha – Valentino Rossi returned to the podium of a MotoGP race after 17 races, he did it last Sunday in Jerez. This hasn't happened to him since Austin 2019.

The metamorphosis of the "Doctor" who appeared transformed between Jerez 1 and Jerez 2 (courses one week apart) has a technical explanation. The Pesaro native, despite the contrary opinion of the Japanese engineers, wanted to revolutionize the setting of his M1, returning to the past.

Lin Jarvis, Managing Director of Yamaha Motor Racing, explained it well and wanted to point out that it is not so much the fact of being Japanese or European, but of being "actually" Engineers. Above is the video with Jarvis' explanation, while below Valentino Rossi's statements in this regard released after the race.

Statements Valentino Rossi GP Andalusia Jerez MotoGP 2020

"The bike I had until last Sunday is not mine. It's different, it's made to save the tire but I just went slowly. I had fun this weekend and did some good laps. Last week was tough. Having done it here in Jerez in this heat makes me optimistic because I have always struggled here. Yamaha must help me, they must believe in me. We must work. When I get off the bike I am precise and give good directions. We had to fight for four days to get what we had. If we hadn't done that it would have been another difficult weekend.”

    But if the tires are totally different this year, thanks to the setups of the past suitable for the old tires does it go faster? ahahahahahaha what the heck do I have to hear….

      I have never been a motorcyclist, I don't even fully understand what they are talking about specifically, but I believe that when you are used to a certain type of reaction from the vehicle you drive you know exactly what will happen immediately afterwards and consequently you are able to have more control... in an interview recently Valentino said that the bike gets into a strange position when cornering and he is not used to seeing it move in this way...maybe they are just small details, but if they help to do better what prevents Yamaha from accepting some very small changes... it's strange, however, the behavior of the Japanese who have won so much with him more than anyone else before, making so much fuss. This thing is bad, he didn't ask for motorcycle parts or a different bike from the others. Anyway if that's all It's true what they tell us on TV on Sundays and in the newspapers, everyone is making a terrible impression.

        He's been trying with the settings for at least 3 years and now he says that thanks to an old setting on new tires he has become competitive?! But then competitive where? He doesn't overtake anyone, he takes 6 seconds from the Yamaha Satellite who won but if Quartararo would have he would have liked to have given even more and he also finishes behind maverick, sixth in the world championship thanks to the points collected from the others' engine failures and crashes, we will see his setting from the next race, but please....

    Yes, but in fact I don't know anyone who thinks he had a good race or deserved the podium. ..it was a completely fortuitous podium. But unlike the last race, again in Jerez, it seems to me that he managed to limit the gap, even if Quartataro did the last lap at a leisurely pace and 100 meters before the finish line almost at walking pace... half a second left in the lap to keep up equal to the best there is little that can be done. but if he feels better this way why not... perhaps Ligera is right when he says that if he went back to an old Yamaha set up he would no longer have a yardstick for comparison with the new updates of the other bikes... this would be a valid response to what is happening, but we can't know, they won't come to tell us anyway. I hope he can do better from now on and draw a little more self-confidence from this podium, albeit a gift. It can't be easy to have won so much with everyone and find yourself at never won anything in my life.
