MotoGP: Valentino Rossi “I'll try to help Lorenzo, my goal is the podium”
The Yamaha rider from Pesaro is ready to help his team-mate in the fight for the title
di Alessio BrunoriNovember 6, 2013
Valentino Rossi will try to lend a hand to his team-mate Jorge Lorenzo in Valencia, still fighting for the 2013 title with Marc Marquez (with the latter having a 13 point advantage over the Majorcan). To do this he will have to try to get on the podium. On this track the Pesaro native boasts two victories (2003 and 2004), two second places (2002 and 2009) and three third places (2005, 2008 and 2010). He has the microphone.
“Valencia is not one of my favorite tracks, but I also had good results and some victories. We have to give our best as always this weekend and if I'm fast enough I would like to try to help my teammate Jorge Lorenzo (fighting for the title with Marc Marquez) by trying to get to the podium.”

But at the very least, he is the best driver in history. Behind Agostini and Hailwood, of course, AHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!
statistically maybe it is too..
but I repeat, he raced in a period in which his opponents were of a lower level (apart from Biaggi eh eh he)
the help has always been there (for me)
he has always raced as a privileged official on official bikes since sport production
motorcycling needed him on a media level, and in him they found the right character, the nice kid (not me) who was liked even by non-enthusiasts...
how many times has biaggi asked yamaha for 4 valves per cylinder...never satisfied...
Rossi arrives and the engine is there waiting for him...
Michelins aren't good anymore? There's no problem, my uncle will take care of it... to the detriment of Lorenzo of course...
for me Rossi was a strong rider, I don't doubt it
but I like things regular and on par
too easy with a tire to make a difference...
you can afford to stay in the fight until the end, and then take credit for the victory with half a second in your hand...
this of course for those who believe in it
certainly not me
bye bye
:-))))))))))))))))
Statistically from the numbers yes, but from his abilities absolutely NO!
As you say, only thanks to numerous aids and advantages, in fact without it we have now seen its true value for 4 years, ergo without it it would have at least 7 titles less, nothing but a phenomenon, FARSA!
I hope you don't lie anyone down otherwise heaven open up.
However, Rossi at the top of his career beat today's champions by a point.
They were beaten when, as soon as they arrived without experience and their teammate was denied the same material, what a super champion?!
companions???
but if he has never had them!!!!!!!!!!!!
the first strong one he had he played them….
OR ME OR HIM!!!!!!!!!!!
hihihihihihihihii
they chose him… who knows why….
I understand that Rossi may not be liked by everyone, but you are a bit naughty!!!!
;-);-);-);-);-)
HI VERONICA!!
You do what you can…
:-)
When there was a red there were more good riders, but fewer champions, now there are more champions, but fewer strong riders, so much so that the victories are up to the same 3.
It's not that he's less good, it's that before it was easier for him to make a difference.
It is absolutely not true that there are only three strong riders, the problem is that there are only 4 with the bike who can challenge for victory, certainly Bautista, Crutchlow (at least in the first half of the season) and Bradl (not his I'm very sure of it, there was talk of having an almost official Honda) they are riders equal to the top 3, only that the satellite bikes don't allow them to compete with official bikes...
While once upon a time, satellite bikes were close to the official ones, let's remember that Gibernau fought for the title with a satellite bike!!! Nowadays the manufacturers try to win titles with internal drivers, the external ones only serve to make up the numbers... SUCK!!!
see??
you are misinformed..
Gibernau's bike was Kato's official one...
In my opinion it is not so simple to give a precise explanation.
Even in 500-MotoGP, the winners have always been limited and very often, the fights for the final victory were restricted to 2-3 riders, currently there are 3 and we are on average perfect.
When Vale won by a landslide, it was the period of more or less evident "help" and the notable technological advantage acquired by Honda at the debut of the 1000 4-stroke (about a year's advantage).
The reason why it was necessary to make Valentino "overwhelm" was clearly explained by one of his fans.
He manages to move capital, other drivers, even more talented, perhaps due to their introverted character, have not managed to acquire the same credentials to take advantage of the same "privileged" conditions available to the Pesarese.
You gave the example of Sete Guibernau.
Thank you very much, with others it would have been slightly more complicated to explain the following concept:
Valentino fought for 3 years against Sete Gibernau who, as has rightly been pointed out, has used the official Honda since the 2nd race of 2003, precisely because of Kato's death in the first race of the season.
Before then, in the columns reserved for podiums and victories, Sete had collected an enormous string of zeros.
Sete, undoubtedly a strong rider, only hit the headlines in 2003.
Before, although he was riding an official Suzuki (which won the world championship in 2000), he had only achieved 1 podium in 1998 and 4 in 1999, then 1 victory in 2001.
As soon as he got on a more competitive bike (probably the power of a 4-stroke helped him), he began to win and "hold his own" against Valentino Rossi.
With this, I'm trying to say that the riders against whom Valentino fought and won overwhelmingly were not remotely comparable to the riders who are competing in the world championship now.
A rider (Sete) who won practically nothing on the official Suzuki (fairly competitive in the 90s) began to achieve some results only when he found himself on the official Honda, should make clear the level of competitiveness achieved by the Spaniard, in my opinion, significantly lower than the level of the current champions.
Vale has not gotten worse, on the contrary, the experience accumulated in recent years is still keeping it afloat.
With the disappearance of the "compromises" necessary to elevate it to the stars and the increase in competitiveness of its rivals, they have relegated it to secondary positions.
Age has nothing to do with it, as some persist in insinuating.
Anyway, it's okay for him to win... But after the past season I would be cautious in making certain statements….. From the beginning he thought he could fight for the podium at every race…. Except then not even seeing it with binoculars unless by misfortune someone falls
It's one thing to want to get to the podium, it's another to want to help Lorenzo. There is no doubt that he would prefer the world championship to be awarded to Maequez.
it wouldn't change the Rossi's poor performance in this championship, whether one or the other wins
too much difference between Lorenzo and Rossi with the same bike..
But you really don't think that Rossi has the same bike as Lorenzo?
Notice when Lorenzo got hurt, suddenly Rossi won easily. Because the team gave him better material.
As soon as Lorenzo returned, everything was as before.
It's no coincidence, Lorenzo is the best today, but Rossi isn't as well off as he seems, Rossi probably accepted anything to escape from Ducati.
Have we come to this, just to defend Rossi?
What material?
We are in the 2000s, each piece is made with numerical control machines, if it were possible for the materials, we would easily talk about "cloning" since the materials are the same.
Just as Smith didn't have Cruchlow's bike, who, as soon as he said he was riding a Ducati, turned into a brat.
Wake up guys, teams do what they want and can turn a good pilot into a phenomenon or vice versa.
you speak for your pilot right???
I completely agree!!
:-)))))))))))))))
Smith was not a top in Moto2 just as he is not a top in MotoGP and it took him almost the entire championship to be able to exploit the Yamaha, now he manages to be barely more competitive than a Ducati.
There are no differences between the Tec3 team bikes, at least I didn't know or read anything like that, if you know something about it, please let us know.
Cal had a decline, true, but already in Valencia, he returned ahead of Vale, with a bike without innovations (Vale declared that the current bike has already fitted many of the things tested in previous tests, so much so that in the end-of-championship tests they have almost nothing to prove) and without the famous seamless gearbox.
If what you claim is true, how do you explain today's result?
I agree that with these electronics in teams they can favor or not favor a driver.
In fact, before the favourite, or rather over-favourite, has always been the 45+1 and vice versa now that it is no longer so, the true value is seen, instead of fighting among the first with the officials, he fights against the privates with an official motorbike (the same as the one by Jorge in every way except in the settings that everyone makes their own), great champion!
Yes, actually a champion in the sense that he is outside of that class and has nothing to do with it but is just of a lower class.
Hahahaha now he's coming because he has an inferior bike to Jorge, hahahaha thank goodness we're the idiots, what can't we invent to defend the indefensible hahahaha!
When he won because the favorite was 45+1 it was fine with them and he won because he was the best now because the famous gomblotti are coming, right?!
It's always only valid on one side, now there are gomblotti before ever hahahaha what a laugh today!
The best thing that 45+1 should have done was to retire before moving on to the ducats and leave the doubt (I, I believe like many others, have never had doubts about it) but now it is demonstrating its true insignificance, big mistake on the part yours, huge mistake!
I was very happy with his move to Ducati, so he demonstrated to himself and his supporters the real value of a stoner,,,,
:-))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Hi bibo, but in fact that was the sensible thing he should have done but I too am more than happy with his mistake in staying because it demonstrated the true value of the Casey but also and above all its true and very low value, which by the way the Casey's value, like many others, I had already noticed as soon as he arrived in 125 even if he didn't win, I've always said that the value of a rider doesn't just lie in victories, because for those there are many factors that lead you to win (see the 45+1 with everything they did and helped him to win), but in everything he does, see for example the legendary Gilles he didn't win but.....
Then you have to knock out Marquez... if you want something of you to remain in this world championship... because your results speak for themselves, you don't have any left... or you're not putting in as much effort as Stoner did in his last year at Ducati... it almost makes me feel doubt you know..
Stoner achieved 9 podiums and 3 victories in Ducati last year, despite the fact that Ducati (of the press) stopped development in June 2009 "the super mega-champion is coming and it will be easy to win" it seems to me to put the blame on Casey excessive, Casey always put his soul into the races.
tornado to Donald Duck (the voice is identical) he can't land Marquez or rather when they lap him he can do it. not before.

This can always happen. the uncle is here!!!!!!
HOff, it's likely that to keep him from escaping they'll make the parrot win another world championship with other various tricks like they used to, I wouldn't put my hands in the fire for this, with Dorna MotoGP has been a farce for a long time now.
It's such a farce that they managed to make the strongest champion of the last 10/12 years escape and when he realized how the story goes he said goodbye to everyone, a true and honest person, the legendary Casey is also great in this!
but is it legal that Lorenzo used the CRT tyres????
No, as you wrote those are tires intended for the CRT...
Well, the problem isn't so much with Lorenzo who used them, but with the tire dealer.
Which seems to have brought the soft as hard and the soft as CRT tires (to put it simply).
This is obviously not certain, these are inferences made based on the data available and some things don't add up.
If this were the case, we must congratulate Lorenzo even more for having managed to exploit these tires to the full, given that the CRT tires on a MotoGP risk being destroyed at the end, especially if you don't have an optimal setting, or in any case a setting found with only one good shift….
