MotoGP Indianapolis: Valentino Rossi “The new track layout is nice, we can still improve”

Valentino Rossi had started the US weekend in the best possible way at the IMS, Indianapolis Motor Speedway, scene of the tenth stage of the 2014 world championship. In FP1 he had in fact obtained the best time, while in the afternoon he did not go beyond the ninth time. There are two explanations for this, the first is that he lapped for almost the entire session on a used tyre, the other is that in the fast lap done on the soft tire he made some mistakes. The word is up to him.

“The new track layout is nice. I like! Especially the asphalt and the surface quality have improved, so there we go. It is easier to ride the motorcycle because it has more grip. As for the tyres, it will be difficult to choose between the hard and the medium, because both work quite well. The softer tire is a little faster, but it will be difficult to make it last throughout the race, so we still have to decide. I tried to put on the soft tires at the end of the session and improved my lap time, even if I made some mistakes. However, we are all very close, apart from Marquez and Iannone, who showed an excellent pace."
