MotoGP, Rossi: “I rode always, even now I go back on track” – The Republic

VALENCIA – “I always rode, even now I go back on track.” Valentino Rossi is the picture of happiness and described his mood with a joke. “I’m less stressed and more sad,” he confesses. But the anger with which he faced Friday speaks volumes. Resigned? Never. “But I’ll have to do the best race of my whole career, and who knows if it will be enough.” It needs speed and pitch. “The Yamaha on the straight should not be very strong, we have to find other places to gain ground.” For the first time since the beginning of the season he has now found a good set. “I went well in the morning, even in the end I did my best time on used tires. In the afternoon I continued to do some good laps.” And above all he tried the tires. “With the soft I am sure to get a good start, and drive more easily. But even with the harsh I’m comfortable. And in the final race could make the difference.” He maintains that the first 5 laps will be crucial. “That ‘s where I have to recover, even though the track is narrow and motion slower I will slow down. But if I can progress quickly, then we can really play.”

LORENZO: “HE WON VALENTINO FOR ME NOT CHANGE ANYTHING …” – short , Valencia is a psychological war. And Lorenzo shows to lose, despite the best time in the first day of practice. The manner in which repeats the usual mantra childish – “I am calm. I’ve already won four world. If he won Sunday’s Day, for me nothing changes” – the uncertainty in his eyes when asked if they would trade places with Rossi, pallor and that smile stretched, show that the Spaniard is suffering terribly. The determination of Rossi has put many doubts. “But do not say I am suffering rooting for the Doctor. I do not care about.” Liar.

MARQUEZ AND A STRANGE WISH – Marquez said that Shuei Nakamoto, the big boss of the Honda, took from him and Dani Pedrosa. “He asked us twice: first and second.” So ends that give a hand to Rossi, is never. “I try to win. I promise.” And if suddenly behind Valentino check, ends that slows it down yet? “No,” he replies laughing. Then try to read the Grand Prix on Sunday. “Rossi after four laps could already be the fourth or fifth.” Exaggerated. “I’ve succeeded in 2012 in Moto2. But be careful in the first corner after the straight. It will be decisive.” Attention, he repeats. It seems like a bad omen.

VALENTINO THE SHIRT OF INTER – Meanwhile arrived at his box a Inter shirt with the number 46 and the hasthtag “#iostoconvale”. This is the idea of ​​the club’s support for Valentino, always big Inter fan, in view of the last and decisive Grand Prix of the season on Sunday in Valencia. The jersey was handed over today to the Yamaha rider who has enjoyed the thought: “I’m happy, thanks guys and strength Inter”, his words addressed to Mr. Mancini and Inter players.
