's adventures in Worth Ducati is known is playing in climb, but luckily for him, at his side, even in this latest page of his extraordinary career, there is the exposure Jeremy Burgess. The meeting between the Australian chief mechanic and Rossi came in 2000 when Vale went to class with Honda NSR 500. Jeremy was 5 years working alongside Mick Doohan and believed that would never again lived in his career, an experience so exciting ... nothing further from the truth, the encounter with Rossi has meant for him the beginning of a new lease on life, work and life. If It gave enthusiasm to his work, it is also true that Burgess is essential for Rossi, because the sample of Tavullia has strongly backed him and when he arrived at Yamaha is now with the Ducati. Valentino for the presence of Jeremy provides rapid development for the bike!
from the future, as you see this challenge Rossi-Ducati?
"The future is clearly improving, because I found the shoulder of Valentino in better condition than I expected. And in relation to this, I say that has not gone plan. We must not forget that in the morning Valentino could be quite efficient, but after lunch needed massage and care to get around in the afternoon; did very well because he has more than 40 revolutions per day, although not his ideal rhythm . The shoulder has shown a certain stability and resistance and eventually this is the most important thing. The real work starts now. "
Returning to the test earlier this month, as they go?
"The test went fine. We have made progress This is because the shoulder Valentino has held up well all the time. After three days we were in able to identify two types of arrangements that are now the boundaries within which we will move : I think, in fact, that there is a halfway solution that probably will be used to the first race. We are still improved on the Valencia test. Li had the bike set-ups based on the needs of the Ducati riders who led before him, and he could not to use it. After all, came from Yamaha, which is a bike completely different. "
How did you react?
"In the two and a half months of break we tried to think of a structure that we call " more normal "in the sense that the Ducati requires completely different rules ... Here, we started from there when we arrived at Sepang since the first morning we tried to move quickly to find a good balance , working on the suspension and changing height and length of motion. "
Now where are we?
" At Sepang we have made great strides knowledge of the bike and its reactions to various changes: we must first know how to do what the bike wants Valentino . I know exactly how he guide, research structures, what kind of balance or motor brake want to use, but did not know how do you get all these things from a Ducati. "
And what is in common with the Yamaha?
"Basically, a motorcycle has always characteristics common to other and the way it works is very similar. What changing the rules, but basically we use the same suspension which had the Yamaha and even the same tires, they are already two positive points. Sure, the engine is completely different. "
Compared to 2004, are you working for?
" More or less the same work I have done with Valentino and Yamaha experiment, try things too extreme because we are in a stage where you have the most information possible. Moreover, and this is something very important, you give Valentino more of a chance of setting: we must allow a fairly wide choice. "
're also using the data collected by tests done by the team manager?
"Yes, we found it very interesting that one of the Guareschi structures tested at Jerez. It is something that deviates so much from the standard Ducati, but I think this is the area where we will work to find the final arrangement for Valentino. "
What do you expect from the next exit Sepang, later this month?
"Another, important, step forward. Why Valentino will be presented in better physical conditions, so it will be able to push more , whereupon it will give us more technical information . What we need now not new special parts, such as suspensions, but only his physical fitness. The first test Sepang, Valentino took it as a verification of the conditions of the shoulder and I am convinced that just recover the total efficiency, automatically acquire more confidence in the bike.
