43 points divided by 5 races… roughly 9 points per race.
Even though he does not admit it, and even says the opposite, it is obvious that this calculation must be going round in circles in the head of a Valentino Rossi who must now take all the risks against a Marc Marquez who plays with maturity the caution and safety.
After a strong race at home in Misano, where he secured second place behind a Dani Pedrosanow confident, Rossi is aiming for another very good result in Aragón, where he only reached the podium in 2013 and 2015, with two third places.
The task therefore promises to be difficult and the nine-time World Champion will have to be competitive from Friday, as he has been doing since the start of the year, to fight at the forefront on Sunday...
Valentino Rossi : “Although I would have liked to win in Misano, I can say that it was nevertheless a good race. In all subsequent races we will do our best to always achieve the best result, as we did in Misano. The only thing that interests me now is having good races. In Aragón we will have to work well from the first day, as we have done this entire season. This circuit has fast corners and difficult braking, so it will be important to have a good bike, with perfect settings. I really like the track and, even though it's not one of my favorites, we'll try to do our best there. »
