“I always rode, even now that they are on track.” Valentino Rossi does not mince words on the day of free practice for the Grand Prix of Valencia, that will award the title of world champion of MotoGP 2015. The disappointment at the verdict of Tas, who did not accept his appeal against the decision of the Federation of the sport to do to start last in the last race of the season (after the rustic duel with Marc Marquez at Sepang and the subsequent fall of the Spanish) is still fresh.

It will be an extremely hard reverse the forecasts that are all on the side of his opponent (as well as team-mate) Jorge Lorenzo.

A little ‘accounts
Rossi, who is now leading in the standings with 7 points over the Spaniard, must cross the finish line second, if Lorenzo does win, or third if the Spaniard was second. If Lorenzo were to come third, the Doctor would be enough even a sixth. Difficult to imagine positions more backward for Lorenzo, in a season lived as protagonist: too clever, cool and focused on the goal to risk too and throw to the wind a match ball of this type. Rossi can not afford even a tie in ranking: in this case the title would go to his rival, who – until now – has won six races against four.

Rossi fourth in the second free practice
In the second session of free practice Valentino Rossi was fourth: the gap from the best, coincidentally just Jorge Lorenzo, is of 0364 milliseconds. Second time for Honda of Dani Pedrosa (+0266), third for Ducati Andrea Iannone (+0333). Marc Marquez (+0370) was fifth. Tomorrow, with the qualifications, it will make up the starting line of the Spanish GP. After that will be the bedlam: Lorenzo Marquez, Pedrosa, Iannone, Rossi. Who will help whom? Will challenge the last disconnected, however a great finish to a spectacular season, with over 100 thousand people in the stands to watch the race. And in many, despite everything, to cheer Valentino.
