And this weekend, it will even be the Sachsenring which will be the scene of a new fight between Valentino Rossi. The Doctor has already been knocked down three times, but he has yet to be counted ten this season. A number which is also the Holy Grail sought by the nine-time titled man from Tavullia.
That said, with 42 points now behind a Marc Márquez now a wise strategist, there is no longer any question of repeating a bad move. But to achieve a good one instead. Vale has not triumphed in Germany since 2009 and last year he followed the HRC pair onto the podium. With a Yamaha, it will therefore not be easy to thwart Hondas. But the Michelins and the weather could well be elements capable of tipping the scales in favor of the M1.
« I’m really looking forward to getting back on the track.” commented the one who spent the time between Assen and this weekend's deadline at his ranch to train the next generation of Asians. " I also rested at home and am now ready to leave for the Sachsenring. In Assen we worked well all weekend, we were very fast in the dry and in the wet but we had no luck in the race.
We will have to continue at Sachsenring, as we have done every weekend this season. We are fast, I am comfortable on the YZR-M1 and with the Michelin tires. I like this track and on Sunday I will do my best to have a good race ».
