MotoGP | Barcelona GP Preview: Rossi, “We should go better than Mugello”

MotoGP Gp Catalunya Movistar Yamaha Preview – After the podium at Mugello, Valentino Rossi is second in the world rankings, 23 points behind leader Marc Marquez.

The Yamaha rider hopes to further reduce the deficit in the next round of the 2018 MotoGP, which will take place on the Montmelò track in Barcelona.

On this track the #46 boasts excellent results (ten successes, seven of which in the premier class, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2009 and 2016) and hopes to break the streak of victories, which is starting to happen for Yamaha heavy; the latest success belongs to the "Doctor" and dates back to Assen 2017. He has the say.

“I hope I can be stronger in Catalunya, I think our potential is better than what we saw at Mugello. In the Montmeló tests we found something positive – said Valentino Rossi – The new track surface is better, the new asphalt helps Yamaha. We still suffer in some places, but we have to stay focused, not give up and try to gain points."
