Barely dismounted from his official Yamaha M1 after arriving in third position in the 2018 Qatar Grand Prix, Valentino Rossi spoke to the site's microphone MotoGP.com, delighted to have found a competitive machine again.
Vale, you always find a way to be fast during the race. We are very happy that you have renewed for 2 years…
Valentino Rossi : " THANKS ! Thank you so much ! I am very happy. But I expected more compared to last year, because I feel good with this year's bike. I know that at the moment Marquez and Dovizioso are faster. They have a little extra, so when Dovi went in front, I tried to give 120% to stay with them, because I had to escape from the 2nd group to stay on the podium. I'm very happy, I had a lot of fun. I thank my team and I thank Yamaha, and now we will try to continue like this. »
