Valentino Rossi MotoGP 2016 Catalunya GP Yamaha Movistar – Valentino Rossi he can't wait to hit the track in Barcelona, ​​on one of what he considers to be among his favorite tracks. The Pesaro driver arrives at Montmelò after the Mugello Grand Prix which ended with a retirement with a smoking engine, arriving on the 9th lap while he was stamped to his team mate, ready to finally fight for victory again on the Tuscan track. Now in Barcelona Rossi must return to victory if he wants to recover the gap from the first two in the standings: at Mugello he demonstrated once again that he has the speed to fight with Marquez and Lorenzo, but now he has to deliver.

“The Catalunya Grand Prix is ​​one of my favorites – said Valentino Rossi – I like the circuit and the atmosphere there. I think I have the potential to have a good race. I'm going to Spain calm because I know I'm fast, but also saddened by how the Mugello grand prix ended. However, the most important thing is that this year we are really fast on Sunday, thanks to the work we do over the weekend. In Barcelona we now have to continue on this path to be ready for the race"
