These first tests of the 2019 MotoGP off-season make one man happy for the moment. This is'Alessio Salucci. The traveling companion of Valentino Rossi in fact no longer has only the Doctor as its center of interest. He is also responsible for the smooth running of the VR46 academy and the good behavior of his flock. And, to his great satisfaction, his two Moto2 World Champions, including the last one from the VR46 team, are doing better than what was hoped...
To bagnaia, we would even exceed all expectations: “ Morbidelli on a Yamaha, I expected to see him go fast, but Pecco surprised me. From the first day he was very fast. It doesn't look like he's just starting out! As for the Yamaha; it has a good frame and it remains easier to ride, but getting the most out of it remains the hardest thing to do ».
Looking comfortable 👌@FrankyMorbido12 looked like he'd already got to grips with his new @sicracingteam Yamaha M1 on day one of the #ValenciaTest! pic.twitter.com/pLjmfv27bF

On Master Vale, he comments: “ we tried two engines which work a little better in the area where we suffered the most. The first contact was good, but I think there is still work to be done. However, I think the direction is the right one. But we still have to work a lot ».
He ends with the work carried out on the Italian succession: “ motorcycling has changed over the last seven years. You have to be more professional. Now if you want to become strong you have to make sacrifices, you have to commit and grow more than necessary. At 21, you have to be more mature. We go hard and pull ourselves up. We had planned something like this, but we didn't think they would be so quick right away. They are fantastic guys, who you can work with, they listen, there is a good climate and a good group forms ».
