Valentino Rossi arrives with a smile in Aragón even if the goal of the podium has still not been achieved since Austin. But the Doctor assures him: things are better with the Yamaha and if Viñales like Quartararo seem to take better advantage of this improvement, he is playing placed by almost subscribing to the rank of fourth. The forty-year-old is not giving up anything and sees that in terms of points, he can still hope not only to be the best Yamaha, but also a third place overall...
Valentino Rossi is currently sixth in the championship, but 22 points behind third Danilo Petrucci while Aragón will mark the fourteenth of the nineteen meetings of the season. Everything is therefore still possible and this weekend, the Doctor will be keen to show himself in a better light on this track than during his previous visits. Especially since he claims to have the means this time.
Last year, at Aragon, he finished eighth while in 2017 he was fifth. In 2016, he was on the podium, with third place behind Marc Márquez et Jorge Lorenzo, his teammate at Yamaha, at the time.
« After the race in Misano, we go to Aragón. During the San Marino Grand Prix we understood what to work on » assures the teammate Maverick Vinales. " That's what we're going to focus on this weekend. Although Aragón has always been a difficult track, where we have always struggled, this time we arrive after some good races. We will definitely have to work hard this Grand Prix, but we hope to be more competitive than in the past. »
It will be recalled that Aragon is one of those routes where Valentino Rossi never yet materialized in MotoGP. This is also the case for Buriram, the Red Bull Ring and Austin.
