Ninth overall on this day of testing at Losail this Sunday, Valentino Rossi did less well than on Saturday but maintained, with the leading man, the same gap of seven tenths. This time, it was the Yamaha identical to his own driven by Fabio Quartararo which was in front while with 52 laps, the Doctor covered less distance than his teammate Viñales. So there was a downside for Vale who is now hoping for a meaningful Monday. Especially since after him, it will be the big leap in the season, on the same track, but this time the Qatar Grand Prix...
After two days, Valentino Rossi is tenth in the cumulative ranking. And he and the last of the four Yamaha in the running. “ this Sunday didn't go bad, we kept a good pace, but compared to yesterday, it was a little more difficult » admits Vale who explains: “ we tried solutions to improve, for example braking, but unfortunately without much progress. »
« Yesterday too, from a tire point of view, things went better » notes the 41-year-old pilot. “ Over the distance, the tires had worked better, whereas today there were more difficulties and also the final position is worse. Tomorrow will be an important day because it will be the last day of testing before the start of the championship. But we're totally ready to get started. There will be many races this season, the race weekend is different from testing and I'm curious to see the real potential » concludes the nine-time World Champion.
