MotoGP: Valentino Rossi "I'm fine today, too bad about yesterday, I could have had a good race"
The Pesaro native added "Unfortunately, like Iannone I went onto the artificial grass and fell"
This morning Valentino Rossi woke up at 09.30 and was visited by Dr. Michele Zasa from the Mobile Clinic. Everything is normal as Valentino himself says, who has more than one regret for yesterday's crash, given that the bike was going very well. Here's what Yamaha's #46 had to say.
“I'm fine, everything is ok, and that's the most important thing. I didn't hurt too much except for a big bump on my head. Last night I had a bit of a headache, but today I'm fine, I'm 100%. It was a real shame, because before the race we made a change that would have helped me a lot; the bike was strong, I felt good, I had made up the gap and I was there with the leading riders. I felt good and I'm sure I could have had a good race, so it was a real shame to crash. In a certain sense I'm almost happy, because even though we had a difficult weekend, we were competitive on Sunday."
Did you see the race? What can you say about your crash and your rivals' race?
“Unfortunately, like Iannone I went on artificial grass. This is always very dangerous, especially in these cases, because the track was still wet and there was nothing to do. Marc and Dani tried to stay on the track with the slick tyres, but they took a big risk and in fact crashed. In my case, if I had gone off the track a meter earlier, I would have just gone wide, but instead I hit the grass and fell.”
Now there will be three races in a row in Asia and Australia. How do you see them?
“Now there are three races in a row, three races that are all good. I know circuits very well and I like them a lot. I will try to do my best as we have done in the last few races.”

…why “do your best”…do like yesterday…
Inexplicable, at least for me, how the Honda dominates the tests, showing off a race pace that is impossible for the competition... and in the race it finds itself with the Yamaha which runs as fast more or less as them. Rossi himself had declared that the 2 Hondas made a another sport, and that the most they could aspire to was the lowest step of the podium. MYSTERY...
Maybe you didn't notice that in the race the Hondas were fitted with medium tires on the front and hard on the rear, the Yamahas were soft on the front and medium on the rear.
Perhaps the difference in tire temperatures compared to the tests could also be the cause of the better performance of the Yamaha over the Honda
but Lorenzo himself said at the end of the race that he had made a change on the bike which greatly improved the performance

Ask your uncle who will give you the answer.
…well done H, Uncle…you'll see with the return of Michelin how many races he'll win again…in my opinion he'll race until he's 46 ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah

fatman I bet you don't know who your father is...
His name is Graziano Rossi, that's why all this hatred.
Mistery solved ;)
…but I know who your mother is ahahahahahahahah!!!
Yes, I noticed it, but it was the same thing at Silverstone too... Marquez paced the race to make the gap and on Sunday Lorenzo was glued to Marquez for the whole GP. And I think it has nothing to do with the tires
multicom
I'm not a technician so I look for solutions in what I see, with a low temperature like Sunday's the difference in tires between Honda and Yamaha is mostly the motivation I give for equal performance, then in the morning they will also have found a better balance or adjustment but in my opinion Honda made the wrong choice of tyres.
multicom
Unless we say like fatman or H954RR that the organization favors Yamaha or gives the rubber etc. when it is competitive especially with Rossi.
NO, not only when it is competitive but ALWAYS and not for Yamaha with the n.99 but only for the Yamaha with the n.47-1, otherwise the ratings drop and MotoGP loses interest if someone doesn't get to the podium or doesn't fight for victory.
Did you hear the uncle's interview about how he cares about the pilot?
Doesn't it imply anything?
Business money money money is needed and we must help to keep it on the bandwagon, ahahahahahahahaha what a farce !!!!!!!!!!!!!
H954RR
If you really think this I don't understand why you continue to watch this farce. But explain one thing to me, if it's as you say why didn't the uncle as you call him manage to make him a winner in Ducati at least in his second year or in Yamaha last year?????
After this I give up and let you think what you want.
Why am I watching it?
In fact I watch it very little, one because I have other things to do on Sunday (I go to the Monza racetrack to enjoy the various events), two because I don't have skyfo (and I will never subscribe to it) and the best thing, for the little that I follow, it's to see even if they try to give him an advantage, how they still can't do it against three real champions and involuntarily highlighting the true value of the pilot even more.
In Ducati they didn't do anything to make it successful you say?
And the regulation change a few days before the start of the championship on weight when the others already had the bike ready and finished?
Or the tire change that didn't work for Honda and Yamaha but worked well for the Bridgestone image man?
Then you really only look at what is convenient and you don't see the reality of the facts!
You're right, after this I give up and let you think what you want.
Ah, for when he was in Ducati, the various chassis ready for the following year that he took to the race a year earlier or the various swingarms, engines etc. that they could change at will?
Come on, they also gave him a bit of an advantage in the Ducati but it wasn't enough, now there are no longer the Gibernau or the Ukawa but there are REAL phenomena, one of those (Jorge) who had already shown in 2008 and in 2009 how it went and how the Maroni beat him to 47-1 with the bike two or three steps behind in fact since he is on equal terms he has an average of 2 victories in 4 years on four bikes that can win.
So ?!!!
…so valem@rd@ forever…well done H, only you give me great satisfaction!!!
Hahaha great fatman!
H954RR
I thought you were saying many things as a provocation, but now you've convinced me that you really mean it.
That's okay.
Of course I really think so, I'm not talking nonsense, and then what do you think that everyone believes he is the phenomenon of phenomena, the super mega champion of champions, the best of all and of all time?
Well there are many, MANY, people who believe and think the opposite like me, no!
But there are no problems if you think the opposite of me, to each his own, I think that in this case the problems are yours to make.
...well done H...sing it to them...the tavulliaboys are like the Taliban and the various fundamentalists...it's us against them...let's eradicate them from the forum ahahahahahahahahah!!!
Ahahahahah fatman it's a sight to see them all angry and gnawing because their sense of life since it lost (since 2010) part of its advantages just fails.
Better to let them rave on their own and laugh, ahahahahahahahahah!
What a squalid life these anti-reds lead.
This scum (because they are scum) only watches what Rossi does, they don't even know the name of the others, or what position they end up in. For them, the fact that Rossi is playing for 2nd place in the world championship is a terrible torture, and if he succeeds, for these envious and fake motorbike enthusiasts, there is a risk of a heart attack.
This rabble, perhaps and I repeat perhaps, owns a scooter to go to the bar, and they call themselves expert motorcyclists, but you know, calling yourself a motorcyclist while riding a scooter is like having a bidet and feeling like a diver!!
I'm sure that at home they have a poster of Rossi hanging on the wall and they stare at it all day to see if he makes any mistakes so they can criticize him ahahahahaha!!!! how pathetic you are!!!!
What is FLASCHIROCCATO have you given your description?
We idiot with a brain made up of excrement you see that I didn't use any swear words or insult anyone I just said what I think, don't tempt me to lower myself to your miserable level and then I'll start too and reciprocate with the same money as yours which by the way is the only way to respond to the shitty scoundrel that you are and the only way you deserve!
For these idiots if you don't love the pilot..., let's lose to Italy.
…it's obvious you're new to the forum…I've been riding motorbikes for 36 years…how I miss my friend Rob…
I would like to point out that between red and 4th place there are 12 points....
even with the thanks of sky and uncle he risks (and I'm sure of it...) getting to fourth place again this year!
and then you can say that he had a great season....
shitty though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If this year he finishes 4th in the world championship it means that at 35 he has achieved a 4th place world championship.
Ahahahahah well said Testoner!
I've already stopped the bike because I'm out of tires and I'm not going to change them before winter and then leave it sitting, are you still going?
See you soon and the next round, bye.
Even though I don't have great sympathy for Rossi, I believe he is a stronger, more complete and talented rider than the various Lorenzo Pedrosas and also the deceased (motorcycling speaking) Stoner. Regardless of everything from the alleged favoritism of Sunday morning.
multicon
It's a waste of breath, you'll never be able to change his mind, for them it's been 19 years of plotting to make Rossi win.
H954PPPRRRRRRR, lower yourself to my level?? you together with your friend fatmerd, you can't go lower than where you are, you are exactly the lowest level... low to the ground... flattened on the ground, and that's why you often get trampled on the pavements. Let's forget about fatmerd, who sucks in his own right even if he doesn't comment, but you, who proclaim yourself a Marc Marquez fan, only write (stron2ate) in Rossi's reports, and then no comments in Marquez's reports... in fact it's really empty , this shows how fake you are and that you jump from one winner's bandwagon to another, just to attack Rossi......don't worry!!!
what two good guys...how I would love to hear their theories live ahhahahahhahaha these spineless people luckily only exist online!!
H954RR .
I didn't want to answer you but for the last time...
You say:
1) In Ducati they didn't do anything to make it successful you say?
2) And the regulation change a few days before the start of the championship on weight when the others already had the bike ready and finished?
3) Or the tire change that didn't work for Honda and Yamaha but worked well for the Bridgestone image man?
4)Ah, for when he was in Ducati, the various chassis ready for the following year that he took to the race a year before or the various swingarms, engines etc. that they could change at will?
1) Since Ducati doesn't think like you (but of course you have the reason) they wanted Rossi to make a competitive bike for everyone since only Stoner was able to exploit it better than the others (I remind you of 10 victories in 2007, 6 in 2008, 4 in 2009, 3 in 2010, in 2011 I don't know but it would have been difficult even 1 but it's my opinion) so I think they tried.
2) They made the change in the weight regulation to facilitate the non-Rossi open bikes and the bike that was ready or the one that complained was only the Honda.
3) Maybe you don't remember or you're pretending, the tires that didn't reach temperature and caused injuries not to mention the Sic misfortune were a problem that had been talked about for some time (and those were Stoner's tyres) and I don't understand what Rossi has to do with it .
4) For this fourth question I don't know what to answer, the engine was always the same, all stamped (and with the Ducati philosophy of not changing it structurally while now they do) so it's not like now that they can modify it at will, so they had to work on the chassis by going around that engine while as you should know it is the engine that must be adapted to the chassis. And for the failure I remind you that a certain Furusawa (former Yamaha designer) was also called.
Since you support Rossi you turn everything against Rossi to denigrate him.
H954RR
I forgot
now there are no longer the Gibernau or the Ukawa but there are REAL phenomena, one of those (Jorge) who had already shown in 2008 and 2009 how he was going and how he beat the Maroni to 47-1 with the bike with two or three steps back, in fact since he was on equal terms he has an average of 2 victories in 4 years on four bikes that can win.
Perhaps today's riders are stronger than those you mentioned (we also include Biaggi with his 6 world championships) but today at 35 he has shown that he is still competitive despite his age, his accidents but that of Sic should not be underestimated who in my opinion he had a good percentage due to Stoner's retirement (lately I was racing with fear and it's not good to race like that, these are his words) and two very difficult years in Ducati.
Listen, I'm discussing with you, unlike the two underdeveloped organisms above, because I don't think you're stupid, you say "today at 35 he has shown that he is still competitive despite his age", but you know that if he finishes fourth he does it in the "category apart" from all the others of the only 4 bikes that can win?
And what do you call the fourth out of four?
And then you say "his accidents but the Sic one should not be underestimated which in my opinion had a good percentage for Stoner's withdrawal" then you mention fear, so why don't you withdraw if you are afraid?
And finally "two very difficult years in Ducati" I don't know about the others but when I leave a difficult thing, finding a better one is much easier to go fast since you are used to the difficult one, as demonstrated by Casey leaving the Ducati and climbing onto the Honda , these seem to me to be more excuses than reasons.
Since you bring up the legendary, I'll tell you that only ONE, the legendary Casey, succeeded where everyone else failed and always also in comparison with his teammates when he won and his teammate finished sixth, seventh or even further behind, so Let's avoid the nonsense of the superior motorbike, it will mean something if only one OUT OF ALL of them succeeded!
I wouldn't have mentioned the issue of the mythical if you hadn't brought it up, however I already imagine your answer and I tell you no problem, you're completely free to think however you want.
H954RR
I spoke about Stoner because I respect him as a rider and I absolutely agree with what you say about what he did in Ducati and Honda, when he won in Ducati I was very happy, shame about the lower classes, but if you reread what you wrote about Rossi who is then what you think well.... I am left with bitterness not because you have denigrated, nullified, made ridiculous and so on and so forth, Rossi, who if used as a provocation towards his fans could be at the limit but precisely because you think so, for you it's all a farce, the money they gave him to go to Yamaha in 2004 or the money Ducati gave him and wanted him badly in 2011, or all this is part of the bluff that you or the world are convinced of in MotoGP they are all stupid.
I'll end here.
H. this championship Rossi achieved 4 second places, 4 thirds and a first (real, not like Lorenzo's...) so what does fourth out of four mean...??? You just have to read the rankings…
Wela Bestlap I made you spin it?
I felt like I was going crazy these past two days, was it you?
Ahahahahahahah!
What you say is true, Rossi did much better this year than last year, but Jorge won 8 races last year, if I'm not mistaken.
So a spontaneous doubt arises in my mind, is Rossi the one who fared better or was it the others who fared worse?
However, you are right about the ranking and I believe that second place will be in play at the end of the championship, but you never know.
And on the matter that only the 4 riders with just two Hondas and two Yamahas are the only ones who can win, except in very exceptional cases, I think you'll agree on this.
So I also agree, as the legendary Enzo said, if there are only four of them competing, the second is the first of the losers, whoever he is, because out of four riders with two pairs of bikes only the one who is clearly stronger wins, as is demonstrating Marcolino.
Hello.
There are only 4 competitive bikes and there is no doubt about this, it is there for all to see. But it's not that for this reason the second in the standings is incompetent... Doohan, just to give an illustrious example, thought that the second was the first of the losers, always and anyway, who knows if he also thought so when Biaggi gave him the kul0 in his debut race in the world championship...? In any case, asking whether Rossi has improved or Lorenzo has worsened is a question of no importance, the reality now is what you see, beyond the possible causes and Rossi will play for second place.. Look a little more at reality and avoid conspiracies. x aria.. Hello
...how nice it is to be anti-redist...it's priceless

Why did you even pay for being insane..??
H954RR….this time he is right. There are 4 competitive bikes that can win and Rossi's 35 years are a non-existent handicap. We must also take into account that Rossi a few GPs ago declared that he felt he was the fastest and strongest Rossi of his entire career The newfound competitiveness is the result of his skill and of Yamaha, one of the 4 strongest bikes in MotoGP.W MotoGP and may the best win.
Even my grandfather said it.
multicom be careful to agree with me, you're lucky that the article is now old and they don't look at it much because otherwise they would have filled you with insults too.
With some we argue even if they are on the opposite side, with many others who are the majority if you don't worship just one you are a B…A!
Remember this as advice for next time.
Hello.
I have always considered Rossi a very strong rider, who entered Moto GP at a time when there were no strong riders (apart from Biaggi)
what doesn't sit well with me is favoritism
Having said this, Rossi's biggest detractors were his fans. Over the course of his 2 years in Ducati, the fact that Rossi was at the end of his career, that is, now old and satisfied, was cited to justify his poor performances, something I never thought of...
Ducati didn't help Rossi????
within a year he changed the bike completely according to his directives, the second year thanks to the arrival of Audi and (in my opinion) the fact that Ducati understood that Rossi would not solve their problems, they decided to stop with the development of the motorbike.
we have our rightly different opinions, but what cannot be disputed are the clock and the results...
Rossi was unable to ride the Ducati, not because he was old and satisfied, but because he was inferior to a stoner!!!!!
Stoner at Laguna Seca went long thanks to Rossi's tricks, but still he was competitive, Rossi in the Ducati at Laguna Seca where was he???
why was the yamaha strong in the race?
it depends on the structure chosen depending on the weather
for me wet races are always distorted by the intensity of the rain and the settings of the bike, for me the race should be wet or dry the riders cannot be allowed to continue racing with those risks
Rossi and Iannone risked their lives…………
Rossi and Iannone risked their lives but there are people like Fatman who even make irony about it. It's easy and comfortable to always be criticizing while sitting at your PC. Testoner, H, fatman, bibo and you many others do nothing but sit at the PC and criticize all day. Pilots are men, with feelings and fears. If I were Rossi I would have given up Moto GP years ago... because let's face it, Rossi has everything in life and still continues to race because that's what he's been doing since he was 5 years old... how can you love racing, motorbikes and hate someone who lives for motorbikes? Someone who isn't fishing at weekends or having fun in Monte Carlo but is at the ranch racing, teaching and helping the younger ones??
You can say whatever the hell you want about Rossi...that he has been helped throughout his career but blame those who helped him. Then guys... if you don't have what it takes you won't get anywhere... no one will help you if you're a loser. Rossi was helped as he is now being helped by Marquez. THEY CHANGED THE ROOKIE RULE after decades just for him..to help him! Why? because he is strong! If they ever helped Rossi it's because already in 125 you could see that he was a Champion with a capital C!
Do you believe that if one day Marc is in difficulty they won't try to help him? What then... help, help, tire, motorbike etc... you can help him as much as you want, once you're on the motorbike you have to give it gas, motorbikes can drive themselves if you have the best frame.
Then for me, you remain just hypocrites..
H954RR….it is very complicated not to share an absolute truth and for me, certain things you have reported are absolute truths that do not give rise to any disputes. I am a lover of competitions, fanaticism in the sense of distortion of reality to sanctify those who support it ,it's not for me.Hello
BRAVO!
I agree and think like you, see you next time bye.
oops “I agree”
but come on molegggggggggg
because when you criticize stoner where are you sitting???
stoner goes fishing and it's good if he likes it!!!
better for him, I would do the same, you blamed him for the lack of competitiveness in Ducati, while he was the one making the difference, then very bad rumors about his private life were spread around on purpose... he was right to leave!!!
and you would be sportsmen??????
