The three days at Sepang, with the result of the (11 th time ) has been more than positive for Valentino, while the same can not be said for Jorge Lorenzo, who has found the M1 with virtually the same problems he had last year.
enhancements Rossi will be seen only by its progression made every day, even by way of talking, joking, short by his good humor that is increasing day by day in Valentino. That is because with so if you see him amused, and tells how you drive and how to curve, which assets should try and in what way you have to be in the saddle, then it is important to note the lap time, or analyze data downloaded from controller board. Because if Valentine fun, everything else is ... descent.
Valentino Rossi has failed to change many things in just three days, so that the end states that
'the budget is certainly positive for both the shoulder, the bike; I did not think that we were going to do what we did. "
Let's physical condition.
"It is the major limitation: it is mainly because of the shoulder, if we are still a bit 'far as time."
You shot a lot. It was not expected otherwise?!
"I thought I could do about 20 laps a day, but I made more and more because his shoulder has improved steadily: more turned around, most buy furniture, I found that holding the wheel of a MotoGP bike, and then I found a better position in the saddle is straight off that. "
seemed relieved.
"Yes, because now I know that you only need to regain strength. When I realized that the shoulder straps, I also realized that I should do as many laps as possible because I need to find the feeling with this bike. I have to understand control systems, the way you put it in place, the place to drive it. "
What information did you stretch? "We must change the way the bike turns. The priority remains the front. We have a lot of work setting and the braking points. The feeling is good on the brakes, as well as the inclusion phase: the problem comes when you let go of the brakes and the bike goes to the center-curve, there is a moment where you have to almost stop for a moment, because otherwise the bike tends to go out. "
How can you do?
"First is ridden with another style, that is a bit 'like a 500: you have to glean the curves and rounded lines and forget the desserts. Because this bike is the opposite of Yamaha. We must straighten it soon and then open the throttle, you can not stay long folded. And you have to use different trajectories.
From a technical standpoint, as is done?
"Working on the suspension and weight distribution. We were able to quickly solve the problem of chattering that we had disturbed the first two days, and now we have different ideas. Of course, if we think you should copy the Yamaha, then we have already lost, because it is completely different bikes as design philosophy and how characteristics. We must take advantage of the benefits of Ducati and try to minimize the negative ones. But always thinking that this is not a bike built like the Japanese. "
So it will be impossible to make it "easier"?
"No, this is still the goal. Especially in optics race. You will most definitely make it more effective cornering.
Honda scare you too?
"He's definitely doing great things, and a squadron, but I continue to focus on Yamaha, the bike is very versatile, very good, and is that Lorenzo Spies are very strong. Are easy to run on good times, then I think the M1 is the best bike. "
What is the biggest difference between this period and the winter of 2004?
"In 2004 I was physically perfect. Now I'm not well. Also because, apart from the pain and shoulder fatigue that comes in a hurry, I recall that I have lost muscle tone. That's why at the end of each day, it hurt even the left shoulder and back: to compensate, I tried a lot. "
That final consideration can be done after the first three days of actual work on the Desmosedici?
"We are one second from the first, and with the soft tires with ones that race: our level right now is this. But we know which way to go to solve problems, and then I think the point is not bad when we arrived, always noting that the shoulder is still not the best. In fact, I am optimistic for the next test. "
Jorge Lorenzo just begins to show the primary concerns for the development of the Yamaha does not go forward ... a few horses are always available ... so the same problem the last half of last season, when the Honda paint remover on the right side as if he went with a 50 ....
"I think we have made a step forward net know clearly what we need, but we have not yet arrived .
What do you need?
"We need more power, more speed and then accelerating, and also a better traction. For the same purpose . We are not yet strong output curve. "
The new engine has not improved?
"It is much like another. Progress more apparent in the anti- tipping, which is now more effective for this I am satisfied. "
The anti-tipping should ensure greater effectiveness in acceleration?
"Yes, it helps. But we need more horses. "
And cycling?
"The new case I do not like, because there more" chatter ". But I'm not particularly concerned this. I repeat: the priority at this stage , is power. "
You compared your new teammate?
"We talked a bit 'in second day: he also thinks like me, the power and strength, fact in his report to the engineers made my own comments» .
Your lap times, and even your step, they are still good.
"Yes, yes, but at this time, with this bike, it is difficult to do more. I would a better bike, and that's what I asked engineers. I think all the drivers ask that. "
Yes, but you drive a Yamaha. seems that the bike up.
"For I am not saying that is no longer winning say that to win the number of races of last year are progress. At this time, in my opinion, the bike would not allow me to repeat a triumphant season as was the 2010 '.
What assessment can we make a technical level?
"I tried many things but I have not decided anything. I still have to select the material to make the bike 2011. I asked the engineers to analyze the data of the engine, so they too can give me advice on which specific point. It is a very delicate and difficult choice: is the work that we have retained for the next test. "
The resurgence of Honda's troubling you?
"The Honda is very strong: he had begun to recover by the middle of last year and now has taken another step forward. This should make us worry. "
