MotoGP | Gp Misano 2 Day 1: Valentino Rossi, “I still have a lot of fun on this track” [VIDEO]

MotoGP Gp Misano 2 Press Conference – Valentino Rossi closed the first day of free practice for the Emilia Romagna and Riviera Grand Prix with the 15th fastest time.

During the tests, he tried some new details on the M1, but no one seems to have convinced him 100% for this reason, even during free practice he preferred to concentrate on the balance of the bike without looking for time.

Valentino Rossi Statements Misano GP 2 Day1

“We worked on the set-up because there will be a lot of fast riders. We worked hard on Tuesday because there were interesting things to try and we did a lot of laps because we knew that in the second race the others would be more competitive. But we didn't find anything that made a difference, so we decided to work on the balance and try to do better. Today we did that, but it was difficult. We found good things but I'm not completely comfortable. I'm half a second faster than last week but I'm outside the top ten. So we have to work well and be faster tomorrow. My technical boss had a baby and flew to Barcelona, ​​so happy birthday to him. But they were difficult days to organize. At the start of the race the bike is more difficult to ride with a full tank, sometimes it bothers me too. You have to see a lot from the setting that each rider uses to sew, so maybe the one Vinales uses isn't perfect. I have a lot of fun in Misano, it's ten minutes from home and since I'm of a certain age, knowing I'm close to home makes the difference. The things I like most are riding the bike and competing, so it's always a race, there are other balances and other values ​​on the field and this gives pleasure. It's also a challenge because we know that to do well we will have to go faster even if it won't be easy.”
