MotoGP Assen, Qualifying: Valentino Rossi “We are disappointed”
It's a disappointed Valentino Rossi who speaks at the end of qualifying for the Dutch Grand Prix. The nine-time champion in fact had great confidence in the new bike, a hybrid between the GP11 and the GP12 1000. At the end of the day, however, his time was very far from that set by the best (he finished eleventh, almost two seconds behind the poleman Simocnelli) and his look at the end of the tests spoke volumes about his disappointment. The word is up to him.
“We are disappointed with our qualifying because yesterday we started quite well and clearly today we expected to do better. Instead, after having done a decent session this morning, we didn't improve enough and therefore we will have to start eleventh. The rear of the GP11.1 works better than the previous version but we were unable to find a set-up that allowed us to bring the tires up to temperature well and this currently prevents me from having the feeling to ride fast and enter the corners well . We still have to understand how to best set up the bike and it's something we knew could happen with such little time available, but all this helps us accumulate experience for the future. We also have some ideas to try in the warm-up to try to go faster in the race tomorrow.”

VALENTINO ROSSI
It will certainly be Stoner's fault, who doesn't know how to develop the bike...
Vale has always won only because he has always had the best equipment, the best team at his disposal and in his career he has always had modest opponents and not champions.
mhmhmhm I don't think so my dears, the fact that he isn't complaining but that he is working like a man says a lot, very long...
True Willy, in fact he arrived at Yamaha with a world champion motorbike? If you go and look it was a mid-ranking motorbike. He's the one who made it get to where it is. It took Honda years to get back to 1 with a champion like Stoner.
12 YEARS OF MOTORCYCLE HISTORY SOMEONE MAYBE HAS FORGOTTEN THEM OR MAYBE HAS NOT EVEN SEEN THEM..
HAHAHAHA
HAS HE ALWAYS HAD THE BEST MEANS????
HAVE YOU ALWAYS HAD MODEST OPPONENTS???
HAHAHAHA
BUT COME BACK TO FOLLOW FOOTBALL AND RIDE YOUR TRICYCLE
HAHAHAHA POOR YOU HAHAHAHAHA
BUT GO TO……
GO IT'S WORTH!!!!!
it was better that he went to Honda when I asked him to, he was pretty calm now
both he and the team are working hard... and the work will pay off, let's trust him, let's not always help the winners
Willy, what grand prix have you seen so far!?
It is Valentino who has always made the bikes entrusted to him great, and whoever came after him has always enjoyed his work...
x Willy the cojone.
Rossi is the greatest of all time,
the facts speak.
But can't you go back to the Gazzetta?
motograndprix was cleaner with no arguments.
Good evening everyone.
Someone thinks I'm talking too much, without having enough expertise to do so, Valentino Rossi is still the best rider around and Ducati will very, very soon start to improve. The calculations are always done in the end. Happy Gramprize.
… 11′ to 2 seconds!
What are you talking about!
Without a motorbike... You can't win! The handle is not enough!
That's how it is for now! We'll see!
Valentino has always been the best at fixing bikes, Yamaha was a mid-table bike when he arrived and he made it the best bike of the lot at least until last year!
You have to show respect, you don't have to prove anything anymore!
if he doesn't have to prove anything, he better go home………..
willy@
with that statement of yours I deduce that you are a phenomenon in motorbikes...so why don't you apply to Ducati and say to replace Velentino?
But what are you saying... I remind you that Rossi went to Yamaha when it was shit!
9 titles can't be won ad-fuck!
let's do this...when someone else wins at least 9 titles only then come back to comment...but for now, listen to me, go and watch the frog race in the lake and maybe you'll catch us!!!
But sorry, and I turn to Valentino's detractors: the GP11.1 is a new bike for all intents and purposes, and you expected them to find the adjustment in just two stages and qualifying??? but are we kidding? The basic setting is it's done in winter with numerous days of testing, so his position on the grid is completely normal, in fact I'm surprised that he's not last!!! Before you start writing, think about it a little, otherwise go back and support the striped football teams...
let's remember that Rossi won at Honda with Doohan's bike, when he went to Yamaha he took all the mechanics with him and still has them in Ducati... before Rossi, Yamaha still came second or third in the world rankings with Biaggi and so it really didn't matter. moreover, when Rossi arrived, the rules had just changed in Yamaha and therefore a totally new bike and not developed by Rossi and he won anyway, Ducati immediately won the world championship in the first year of the 800 and so this makes you understand that when there is a drastic change, it's a lottery to know which bike has been developed better...and in any case Rossi is a phenomenon, but how come with the 800 bikes the rider who won the most was a stoner? no one is unbeatable, to stay at that level they are all more or less strong and with a competitive bike everyone wins a world championship, look at Hayden and Kenny Roberts Jr who weren't real phenomena.
of course, for me Rossi, Lorenzo and Stoner are stronger than the competition but without equipment you can't win....
