So much so that the Doctor's record during the first match in Qatar must be considered through his 12th place under the checkered flag and not his fourth place on the starting grid. This weekend, Vale will therefore have to achieve a result.
Valentino Rossi can't wait to get back on his Yamaha M1 to make up for the disappointing Grand Prix result Qatar. The “Doctor” during the first race in Qatar suffered tire problems which relegated him to twelfth position. After analyzing the data with the team, he is ready to get back on track with this Grand Prix MotoGP of Doha which will take place this weekend on the same Losail route.
Valentino Rossi: “we will try to resolve the problems we had”
« We expected more from the Qatar Grand Prix, but in the race I struggled and we struggled with the rear tire » recalls the man from Tavullia. “ We still have some positives because fourth place in qualifying was a great result, it was my fastest lap ever on the circuit and I was very happy with it ».
« Now we will deeply analyze the data during these days before the free trials and we will try to resolve the problems we had. We will try to improve the feeling and we hope that this weekend we will have a better result ".
