MotoGP Le Mans: Valentino Rossi, “Good result for the championship”
The Yamaha rider from Pesaro climbed to the second step of the podium
Valentino Rossi MotoGP 2016 French GP Yamaha Movistar – Valentino Rossi finished the French Grand Prix in the MotoGP class in second place, behind team-mate Jorge Lorenzo and ahead of his probable new teammate Maverick Vinales. The rider from Pesaro started from the third row and in the first laps he had to battle to get out of the group, he had the say.
“I'm very happy, because when you start on the third row and finish second, it means you've done a good job. Last year I always started from the third row, but I started well, but today I didn't and in the first laps I had to "argue" with the Espargarò brothers and Smith. It's just a shame that I started like this, because once I got rid of them I did well, even setting the fastest lap of the race. However, it's my fault, because yesterday I made a mistake in qualifying and then today he was very strong and if you want to counter him, you have to start at least in the top five. They are very important points because I reduced the gap to the lead and we are three in 12 points.”
Now comes Mugello, in what state of mind do you arrive there after this result?
“I finish well, but I know that the others are also doing well on that track. Our bike still works well, especially in the race, where I had a good feeling. I like Mugello very much, I think it can go well with these tyres, but it will be important to do well from practice, because Lorenzo goes very fast there and then there are the Ducatis and Marquez."
Did you lose the chance to win more in free practice or in qualifying?
“I would say a bit of both. On Friday we concentrated on trying to find more traction on the tires used in Jerez, which was the biggest problem, but the new tire brought by Michelin largely solved this problem, so we should have concentrated on other aspects.”
The last eight races have been won by those who took pole, what do you think?
“There was a tussle in the first twelve laps of the race, then the positions stabilized, but MotoGP has been like this for a few years. If you have a few tenths of an advantage, then you can make a difference in the race."
Marquez crash – Dovizioso, what do you think?
“I've seen it and usually it can happen that when the one in front falls, the one behind has a moment of indecision, what in jargon is called "foolish", but looking at it again it's Marquez who falls a moment before Dovizioso, so it's not that the case."

I completely agree that it's your fault, after a bad Friday, a bad Saturday... the race was nice but starting in the third row means losing the race even before starting.
Great Rossi!! He wasn't okay all weekend! He got off to a bad start and at a certain point he was sandwiched between 2 riders, falling to the back...eighth and now far away. BUT the grit and determination that he put into every overtaking, having gained 1.3 seconds behind Marc and having passed them both. He could have done better, but he made a mistake! congratulations and in any case he is -12 from the top, because this year too he is there to compete for the world championship :)
Agree on almost everything, Rossi is obsessive about every little detail, he can't be in traffic on the qualifying lap, it's too big a mistake.
This Nando is also true, last year it happened to him often, and it will happen again this year, let's hope less so, but Rossi is like that...
true Durim, despite the bad qualifications, did a great job, this year he is the one who puts pressure on the rear…..
This year the championship will be conditioned by the tyres, the drivers, without exception, must be more careful not to crash than in qualifying. In this case, it would have been enough for Rossi to start in the second row so as not to get caught up and have the chance to fight it out with the infamous guy. I'm impatiently waiting for the day that Rossi and the infamous guy will find themselves facing each other in a brawl... It will happen one time or another, it would have already happened last year if the infamous guy hadn't gotten in the way2 , that day I really hope to see Rossi demolish the certainties of the "Spartan".... Otherwise the D16 will take care of it next year...
That's for sure: Giorgina's 2017 in Ducati will give us big laughs and the usual ones will make themselves even more ridiculous by justifying him because he's a friend of Biaggi.
El Canaro gave us plenty of hearty laughs on the red bike from Borgo Panigale, even those with mouth paresis laughed...
giorgi on the tiller….with the bald guy in the pits to give him tips….can't wait!!
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

Oh guys…??????
But gigetto???
Has he gone to get the rubber?
I think Topo-gigetto is busy rehearsing the new show with Carrà ;-)
Fantastic Rossi!
I haven't seen the race yet but I saw the interview where he says...
"If the tire hadn't pushed me on the straight I would have won by a margin."
hahahahahaha great!
Of course, taking the piss out of Jorghe is now like shooting at the Red Cross...
Sorry Giorgio not jorge.. and red cross..pardn
in fact he can only try to take the piss out of the others since they give him terrible wages on the track, without strange things (the ones Capirossi referred to). Lorenzo only sees him with binoculars...
..but do you watch the moto-topo world championship?..are you there or are you doing there?
You can't always win... it seems to me that Vale won the last race and gave him a terrible payday... or not?
Hi Rosicchione
see ueueue, and very subtle (so he believes) in his inferences…..
if Rossi wins, it's rubber...
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
in qualifying figure of m while Lorenzo sets the track record, overtakes the Yamaha satellites and seems to have accomplished a world-class feat, when he gets in front of Dovizioso it seemed like he had to go who knows where but instead he doesn't go anywhere and on the crashes of Marq and Dovi arrives calmly on the podium given half an hour after Lorenzo. Usually Rossi as for years now, anonymous races on the hope of other people's misfortunes, this year too he aspires to....
happy you ahahahhaahah
In fact it went exactly like that, but it must be said that in Spain he went very fast, and when he drives like that, hats off to him.
The most difficult thing is to make those who get so excited about this race understand that he didn't win it. . and that he took them great from his teammate.
But it is part of the objectivity and sportsmanship of his "fans", not all of them fortunately, but certainly those ignorant people who are only waiting in Mugello to vent their frustrations as depressed bar fans.
and on marq's falls and where he arrives calmly on the podium given away
In fact, that's exactly how it went?
Tell me who gave the podium to Rossi.
You don't know what you're saying.
it's true, Lorenzo took pole….
nando, let me tell you who set the record in the race….
I wrote it in one of the previous articles but they are like this, they pretend nothing has happened and continue to shoot bullshit.
They are happy...
The important thing is that you believe the nonsense you say... do you write them down and then re-read them to convince yourself?
Where Marq is they were already behind..
….You too… are a Gnawer (which is a mix… if you get there)
I don't know what race you saw. The only one who fell in front of Rossi was Iannone, while Dovi and the child fell trying to keep Vale's pace. Starting seventh and finishing second is no easy feat. It's true that Vale saw him with binoculars, but why did he push his tire, otherwise he would win by distance hahahahahahahahahaha, you're ridiculous
JORGE LORENZO – RATING 10 He returns to live with arrogance, riveting the rest of the group. Despite the complicated situation of separation at Yamaha, the ride at Le Mans allows him to make a leap to the top of the world championship. The hope is that in the next trip to Mugello he can perform with the same serenity without the boos of the usual idiots.
I am only reporting the sportmediaset report cards…..mediaset.it with particular reference to the last two lines.
It's a shame that up until now the boos have come from Muslims, Argentinians, Texans and coincidentally from Spaniards and some Frenchmen
they haven't arrived in Italy yet...
FANTASTIC REDS!!!! IF CAUGHT OVER 10 SECONDS BY YOUR TEAM MATE!!!! :-) CERTAINLY STARTING IN THE THIRD ROW HAS A DISADVANTAGE FOR HIM... BRAD BLINDER TEACHES!!!!
think that Lorenzo got the usual seconds in Jarez and started on the front row next to him...
you do the math…..
When they don't like the reality they live, certain weak subjects simply remove it and create another parallel one to their liking, this is the case of the "usual IDI0TIs" who, in fact, are taking refuge in delirium... I must say that it is a nice sight to see you getting so excited that you go crazy, keep it up….
bibo bidibi bu' ahhahahahahhahahahahhahahahahhahahahahhahahahahahhahahahhahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahaha you're all like giorgi in jerez when I arrive at parc fermé, angry!!…for you second place is worth nothing! ahahhahahahhahahahah rosikate nostalgic for the Monegasque wig because in 2017 you will have to change idol.
One year Stoner, one year Marquez, another Lorenzo, every year one but who knows why he's always the one fighting against Rossi, no matter who he is.
However, the more time passes, the more I think that Rossi's best world championship was 2015, to beat him they had to ruin a sport.
I'm only replying for pastime and entertainment otherwise they wouldn't deserve a line.
Well then we'll see how many idiots there are in Italy. On the other hand, there are them everywhere.
Come on, red fans, give us this example of culture. Surprise us
Even in other newspapers these professional whistlers are spoken of in a less than tender way. Even on Sky yesterday there was talk of this scoundrel who doesn't have a shred of respect for those who risk their lives every other Sunday. I report the exact words. I heard of clubs supporting Lorenzo and Marquez who were threatened not to show up at Mugello. There will even be an avalanche of police to prevent people from throwing objects on the track at someone. Let's see if the Reds fans can make us look bad on the planet. The conditions are all there.
I'll answer you even though I know you won't understand, but among you "ridiculous" people there are good people.
You wrote "let's see if the reds fans can make us look bad on the planet". Well, here, you can make the mmmmm figure. Rossi dear oscarzeta or whoever you are, is respected and loved all over the world! He is respected and admired in France, Germany, Holland, UK, Malaysia, Argentina, USA, Japan, Australia and even in Spain... in all these countries Rossi is loved by everyone except here in Italy. Now, why does the whole world have nothing but words of praise for Rossi, while we, you who are Italian together with many others, do nothing but try to denigrate him? It would be enough for you to watch a race on the English channel BT sport to understand how, in addition to the fans on the track, Rossi is respected and loved by commentators, people in the paddock, etc.
The only mmmmm figure that Italy makes is because of you (yours) because a driver like that should be praised even if he pisses you off!
Having said that, I won't even comment on the other comments from Bimbiminkia...I'll leave them to you
I don't think big things will happen, at most a few boos under the podium but other nations get those too, rightly you reap what you sow.
Nothing at all will happen, unless the usual provocative idiots (and there are also in this blog) do their part... Even the threats to fun clubs for me are always the work of this bunch of provocative idiots, apart from some whistles as they have been taken in all the places that have been until now nothing has ever happened……. I will be there and I am with my family enjoying the show...
In the moderation phase, let's do it again with the magic letters....

..I'll start by saying that I don't watch football and I have little consideration for those who throw bottles at each other and punch each other in the stadium..let alone watching 22 overpaid jocks..(an insult to working people)..
Among other things, citizens pay the police and law enforcement for all the matches.. every Saturday and Sunday.. but let the police take another step.. they will get tired of giving it to each other later..
If I go to watch a race (which unfortunately I haven't done for a long time) it's because I love this sport... I like different drivers and I have a favourite...
If there is someone who does some stupid things (like last year), booing them if they deserve it is always better than throwing a bottle at them or shouting "cogli0ns" at them..
It may not be a great way but how else to "express" one's indignation?
..like for Renzi who I didn't vote for but I would throw bottles at him...
One rosiconi tribute, the other is in moderation…

Don't argue like usual i@ioti: there are only 4 mangy men, that should be enough ;-)
If we wait for gigetto/VDS until 2018 we won't talk about it hahaha
You don't know that you have immense luck, because if you don't understand a dick like you, you live like a privileged person!
Continue calmly thinking, after a brilliant intuition that could only give birth to someone of your strength, that gigetto and I are the same person, the problem is yours alone, it's probably normal for you to hide behind different nicknames, but trust me, there is also normal people in the world, with other things to think about, who couldn't care less about your enlightened thoughts!
Ahahahahahahahahaha
Great Lyon, and to think that it is enough to throw the bait that I subscribe immediately…..
@cujo
Poor guy: first he screws himself and now he tries to hide.
The child must eat plenty of bread and ham...
It's out of the way now, not that it matters much but it just confirms ahahahaha

supermariacion .
Gigetto for president, just for the fact that you are the only one in your group to post….I respect you! Not even Lingerie and Woodyesse were read. I swipe and fart instead, not to mention testicoloners….blah!!
26 April 2016
VDS.
If I had even the slightest suspicion that you might think of showing me respect... I would be really very, very worried!
The back and forth between Supermariacion and Gigetto?
I would say VDS
VDS/gigetto: prrrrrrrrr
Poor idiots, if you didn't have to cry about how limited you and your two or three buddies are, you'd be almost ridiculous.
come on woody don't do that!!
@VDS
Don't worry, we won't steal your Golden Mongolin prize.
Are you still the most ridiculous, happy?
Now I'll leave you, you can go back to the cellar to gnaw 🐿😂😂

Lion of Lernia..!!?? Vds, quoting a handicapped character doesn't make a great impression, I'll tell you.. If you let him represent you, what should we think..??
Bestlap.. please, don't tie yourself to the ranks of those who don't get there..
I'm going a little…
Of course, Stoner's contribution as a test driver to Honda did not bring these super benefits!
Practically now we have removed Marquez who makes a difference...on certain tracks...
Yamaha and Ducati have improved... they have remained a bit stuck...
Go Stoner!
You're right ueueue. By dint of writing about sterile controversies and KA22ATE, in this blog we are losing sight of the main topic which is motorbike racing and the motorbikes themselves... Anyway, as far as Honda is concerned, it's not that it's worrying who develops it now or who he developed it in the past but the situation of the team in general. After the GP I heard Engineer Bernardelle say that Marquez is still using the 2014 chassis and this says a lot about the stagnation of evolution in HRC... Is it possible that in 2 years they haven't been able to make a better chassis than the 2014 one. .??
Marquez is a child, but at the wheel he is truly a phenomenon and manages to ride over problems, the same cannot be said of Pedro who gets several seconds.
It seems like a situation like it was in Ducati when Stoner was there.
The fact is that you can't always ignore the problems, development is important, looking at it like this it seems that Marquez is a super rider, but not very good at directing the technicians on the right path, but there is Pedro who is like Dovizioso …..
Maybe it's because he no longer has a say in the matter.
Well done Cujo, I think like you, this whole story of riders riding over problems must be debunked, it's clear that it's a policy that pays off in the short term but if you want to win a championship, the bike's problems must be faced and resolved, it's not enough riding as if they didn't exist.. Then I also noticed that the so-called riders who ride over problems often leave something to be desired as test riders, this is the case with Marquez who by dint of ignoring the bike's problems have now become endemic. Before Pedro (who is a good test rider) made a mess of it but now it seems to me that he's a bit bored with developing the bike because Marquez gets the glory and anyway I don't know how much they listen to him in HRC..
It's fine that he's pissed off, if I were him I'd try to change the scenery...
