"It's a shame because I was supposed to be in fifth position. This is an unfortunate accident, which I do not think. I've lost a lot of time on lap-lap early compared with (Nicky) Hayden and Bautista. But then I started to find the rhythm and can catch them because I am in a better situation with my tires. I can catch them easily and pass Nicky. "

"Then, when I pass Bautista, misfortune came. I lost the front after passing. I do not think at all because it was not the case that large movements or braking too late. You can see it well from television. I've been through Bautista . And after seeing the data, I get exactly the same way as the previous lap-lap. The front is closed and, honestly, I do not know why, "said Rossi.

However, before the Australian GP, there is hope that the Ducati to continue its dominance in the Phillip Island Circuit. Because, in the era of 800cc engine, the team based in Bologna that has always won. However, Rossi undermine the presumption that, including the chance to maintain a record is always won at least one in every season since making his debut at the grand prix in 1996.

"It's a bad feeling. At the beginning of the season, I think we can win some victories, but I have to look at reality, and I think we can not realize it (a victory).

After the incident, Lorenzo is at number four. Shortly thereafter, former double world champion 250cc class is up to number two, take advantage of situations where Stoner loses braking point so that could slip through gravel, and the penalties that must be acted Andrea Dovizioso, due to the jump start.

Valentino Rossi had to swallow a huge disappointment due to an accident on the first lap Japanese Grand Prix on Sunday (02.10.11). In fact, "The Doctor" optimistic can fight to reach the podium at Motegi Circuit because the performance is quite promising Desmosedici GP11.1 mount.

Rossi came to Japan with high enough confidence. After being dropped on the first day of practice, seven-time MotoGP world champion has increased quite promising, including finishing in the top seven qualifying session. The 32-year-old Italian rider is increasingly showing signs of competitive after finishing a four-session warm-up.

Unfortunately, dreams are woven nine-time world champion grand prix should be dashed at the start of the race. When he was thrust into the front row after the start, Rossi made ​​contact with former colleagues at Yamaha, Jorge Lorenzo, on the corner 2. Former Honda and Yamaha rider fell off and dragged through the gravel so that the failure to continue the race.

"It's a shame knocked out of the race after two corners, especially after we made ​​progress this weekend, and with the knowledge that we have done well on the bike," Rossi said.

"I was in fourth place during the morning warm-up, and when you also consider the problems faced by Stoner, Simoncelli, and Dovizioso, we could fight for the podium, which of course would be very good for us."

"We were a bit unlucky. Unfortunately, Lorenzo bit wide onto the grass at turn one, and at the next corner he was suddenly moved to the right. He did not see me because I am a little behind."

New Chassis for Rossi

Sunday, September 25, 2011 | 0 comments

Valentino Rossi will test deltabox aluminum chassis (available in order to bring the tank) for conventional Desmosedici GP12 at this weekend at Jerez. The tests were carried out after "The Doctor" won the pathetic results in Circuit Motorland Aragon, last weekend.

The new framework is similar to the concept used by Ducati from Japanese rivals. This is the latest in a long series of radical changes made ​​Ducati, to give Rossi a competitive motor, which can compete for victory.

In Aragon, Rossi has been using aluminum chassis is somewhat different to that of Yamaha, Honda and Suzuki. But the poor results, in which he finished just 10 - in addition because of tire problems and start from the pitlane -, make them try the twin poles aluminum chassis, designed in Bologna, and made ​​in England, the FTR.

Since making his debut with Ducati, Rossi has tried three major changes in the redesign of this concept in 2011. Result, there is little success, including a new carbon fiber framework that is flexible, after the race at Estoril.

After that, the 32-year-old rider is riding the Desmosedici GP11.1, which introduces a new gearbox is more subtle, swingarm and rear suspension systems. This concept is used when performing at the Circuit Assen, the Netherlands, and used up to now.

In the final race last week in Motorland Aragon, Rossi uses a new concept. Former Honda and Yamaha rider is riding a Ducati with an aluminum chassis, though not yet using the full version deltabox, as will be used on Friday.

The use of conventional deltabox is expected to be one answer to the main issues facing Rossi since the beginning of the season. Because the nine-time world champion grand prix is always struggling with the problem of chronic difficulty controlling Desmosedici, and lacked a sense of the front-end.

Rossi Will Tried To Changes His Riding Positions

Valentino Rossi continued to seek a solution that can "tame" Ducati mount. Seven times MotoGP world champion, said that the position of riding a motorcycle, would be one way out, so that Ducati can get a good speed.

Since making his debut this season, Rossi has not shown encouraging performance, because until the 14th series, "The Doctor" on the podium only once, when finishing in the top three French GP. In fact, he has made some changes, including "grafting" 800cc engine to the chassis 2012 (Desmosedici GP11.1), and switch to an aluminum chassis, which came into use in the last series in Aragon, last weekend.

However, all the changes it has not shown an encouraging change. Although the bike was feeling better, but the reality Rossi only finish in the top 10 in races in Motorland Aragon. However, the failure was compounded by the problem tires wear out, and start from the pitlane.

Well, after a number of changes that have not demonstrated significant progress, Rossi looking for another solution. The 32-year-old rider from Italy is curious, whether riding position did influence the performance of Ducati motorcycles. In fact, Stoner is very fast in a straight line while still a squad team based in Bologna that.

"We lost in some areas is quite strange," said Rossi.

"For example, compared with the Stoner us much more slowly in a straight line, with the same motor as we have in the first test.

"We need to understand this, because the driving position is probably more suitable for shorter riders and smaller, than at high rider like me, or like Nicky (Hayden). We must understand if they can fix it."

Rossi said the problem with racing a position clearly visible through the television.

"I feel very uncomfortable on the bike, so we had to think of something to move the weight, and if you see me on television, I do not drive a motor as in the past," he explained. "It's very obvious from the outside."

Former Honda and Yamaha rider was admitted, Ducati has so far not been able to resolve the problem at hand. Although they have worked in many different ways, but not much that can be overcome.

"We are still slow. In addition, in some races we also inconsistent. It seems we can not solve the problem."

Rossi Comment on Aragon Race

Valentino Rossi believes, tire wear became a major issue that made him slumped in Aragon GP Sunday (09.18.11). Nevertheless, "The Doctor" recognizes that without any problem that the rubber tires, he reached for the achievement of a more difficult again in the race, where he finished in the top 10.

On the 14th series in this circuit Motorland Aragon, Rossi started from the pitlane, following a penalty 10 seconds from use because of switching to the seventh machine aluminum chassis for the Desmosedici GP11.1--in a single season, riders are only allowed to use a maximum of six machines. But in the early laps, seven times world champion MotoGP will be competitive this signaling, because he was able to pass some riders.

On lap seven, Rossi was slowly pushed forward and is at number nine. The Italian rider was apparently still able to compete for the top six.

Rather than be in a better position again, Rossi actually slowed down so that he can be defeated Tech 3 Yamaha rider, Cal Crutchlow. Nine-time world champion grand prix was finally finished in position 10, the same as what he achieved in Indianapolis GP (the worst result in the hardest season).

"This is a very tough race - we hope to have a slightly better pace," said Rossi.

"I lost a lot of speed in the final eight laps, as I have many problems with the rear tire.

"Maybe there is something wrong with the tires, and tire was completely destroyed in the end. I have to slow down because the vibrations are very fast, and it's very difficult to ride a motorcycle. With vibration tire like this, you can not fast as expected or desired . "

Rossi felt, the introduction of the aluminum chassis is already a small improvement for Ducati's behavior, although this issue is covered tires. Only, it is still far from the expectation of a miracle.

"It's not too bad," he said of the motor performance. "However, the rear grip of the issue at the weekend.

"It was a great race with the tires. Since the second lap, I've experienced it (the tire to shift), although this problem never occurs during exercise. So, maybe the tires are not fantastic. In addition, at the end of the race, the tire is completely destroyed - I've never seen anything like this.

"But that's another thing. I'm not saying that with good tires I could finish the race on the podium."

Since the beginning of the season, Rossi had difficulty to overcome the problems faced by Ducati. After making the breakthrough with the Desmosedici GP11.1, now ex-rider Honda and Yamaha decided to browed to the chassis of aluminum. Rossi's best achievement was finishing in the top three at Le Mans, France.

Rossi Refuse Checa Challenges in WBSK

Monday, September 12, 2011 | 0 comments

Valentino Rossi declined the offer to perform at World Superbikes at the end of this year for Ducati, although he got a wildcard. "The Doctor" said that he still was the focus of this face of the MotoGP season.

Nine-time world champion grand prix is ​​challenged by the leader of the standings WSB, Carlos Checa, to a duel in Imola which will take place on 25 September, the week between GP Motorland Aragon and Twin Ring Motegi. Checa gave the invitation, knowing that Rossi will be "available".

But Rossi, who is fighting hard to improve the performance Ducati thus more competitive in the rest of the MotoGP 2011 season, said he could not fulfill the invitation of the Spanish rider. Although he had never confirmed his desire to compete in World Superbike someday, but Rossi said that it (appears in Superbike) must be outside the MotoGP schedule.

Previously, Rossi had also received "wild card" for the series against Troy Bayliss in Qatar, with Yamaha, in 2009. However, Japanese manufacturers refused his request to ride a motorcycle factory R1.

Rossi said: "This is a good idea, and I like. But it was always difficult for the calendar. First, I almost always appear in WSB racing, especially in 2009. There is a race in Qatar, but Yamaha have told me they have a new R1 , so they do not have much money and they are not sure.

"I want to do it, but I'm more happy if outside the calendar. During the hectic schedule. So, why not in the future, and because maybe we could be more fun than here."

Rossi also rejected the idea of ​​implementation of the WSB and MotoGP at different times, as has been discussed previously.

WSB plans to campaign during the winter, and the MotoGP during the summer, has been debated. But Rossi said: "I've heard this idea from two years ago, but maybe it has some good points and bad. It may be more difficult for WSB if it takes place in winter, in finding the right place to race. I want to try take one race, but if the WSB in the winter, then I do not go two championships. That's too much. "

Ducati Need Radical Change

| 0 comments

Jerry Burgess, could not bear to face the problems faced by Ducati. Therefore, the man from Australia confirms that it is time they make a radical change, so the Desmosedici can be more competitive again in the arena of MotoGP.

Indeed, since the beginning of the 2011 season Rossi was unable to demonstrate the performance as expected. In fact, the presence of "The Doctor" has been providing high expectations regarding the achievement of the team is based in Bologna.

In fact, Rossi and Ducati GP11.1 mount did not move to face rivals from Honda and Yamaha. Last weekend at Misano, Rossi briefly appeared promising at the start of the race, but he only finished seventh. Sadly, seven times MotoGP world champion was 23 seconds adrift of race winner Jorge Lorenzo.

Well, that was not a prolonged slump, it needs a radical change. Burgess who threw it, because according to him, the only way to improve the performance potential of Ducati is to try a new section, as well as Rossi's crew must venture out of the setting options, in order to try and improve speed.

Since making his debut with Ducati in Valencia 10 months ago, Rossi has been complaining about the performance of these new mounts. Nine-time grand prix champion, said he did not feel comfortable with front-end, and difficulty controlling the motor.

At this weekend at Mugello, Rossi will test the framework aluminum. According to Burgess, this was done because the Ducati mechanics have no other choice to adopt a different technical approach, so they can see whether it can improve the performance of the Desmosedici, which has been put on a rigid carbon skeleton.

"We need more aid, and some ideas are different. Everybody is aware that questions of taste are not available to drivers to be fixed, and we need to do that with whatever method they decide," said Burgess told MCN.

"We've done what all we can on the track, and until we get something to do, we will really struggle to move forward. Valentino will try hard to fight with whatever he had, and he could always say it must be improved.

"We need to make some bigger steps to improve the Ducati. We have to move this bike in all its shapes and positions, such as when another rider on a Ducati. When we look at the settings used Casey (Stoner), we can put it as well. But that to the point where you do not do it anymore. "

Ducati technical guru Filippo Preziosi, confirmed that the main targets in the future is to provide a motor that had a consistent speed to Valentino Rossi and Nicky Hayden. Therefore, these factors (consistency) the constraints of this team.

Ducati to test an aluminum frame for the Ducati GP12 1,000 cc engine that will be used in the 2012 season. Rossi will evaluate the results of such tests, so that it can provide feedback that can be equipped to improve the performance of the Ducati, so it was left far from their rivals, Honda and Yamaha.

Nevertheless, Prezioso said that the focus of development for the future is that the motor speed is more consistent in recording the best time in every lap.

"When the warm-up in Indy, Nicky record the time only 0.3 seconds adrift of the first, and it became a good signal because it means the motor can do that. But the problem is, it only lasts one round only, because the other round her more slow 1.2 seconds. That means we must work to give something to our riders, allowing them to drive motors up to the limit, on every lap.

"If the limit of 100 percent, then you should be at 99.9 because if you are at 99, then you are one percent lower and that is one second. So we had to build something that allows rider to race consistently and safely, closer with a limit. Perhaps the main problem of our motors are not the limit, but it gives proper feedback to the rider. "

Since the beginning of this 2011 season, Rossi had once entered the top three, when finished three French GP. After that, seven times MotoGP world champion is always collapsed and unable to compete with Honda and Yamaha. No wonder the 32-year-old rider was pessimistic about the bike can change drastically.

Rossi will test the aluminum frame at Mugello this week to try to solve some front-end problems that continue to haunt her during this season. However, there will be no miracles when it appeared on the series 14th in Motorland Aragon, 18 September.

Rossi said, "I do not think it was possible. Stoner came in Aragon and made many changes during the season. Many people say to me, this bike won three of the last six races, but for me, I say that this bike won three of 18 races last year. "

"Since then, Stoner modify setting, and he rode like a roadrunner, and grab some good results performance. It's not a criticism to Casey because now I can not do as he does. In Aragon, hopefully we can stay close to the rider in front. Last year, Nicky (Hayden) is very fast, but it will be difficult. "

Before of The Lion (Rossi) if The Cage is Release

Filippo Preziosi, likens Valentino Rossi was like a lion trapped in a cage so that "The Doctor" going berserk when released from these clutches. Therefore, Prezioso warning to rival the Italian rider that he would become a threat far more serious and competitive when the factory is based in Bologna has been able to improve the performance of the Desmosedici engine.

So far, Rossi has not shown signs he is consistently going to be a serious threat to the pursuit podium. The facts show that since the 2011 season until the first series of the 13 series last weekend at Misano, MotoGP world champion seven times the new one into the top three times at Le Mans, it was because the two drivers ahead of him crashed.

Felt he was still difficult to adapt because there are policies to cut winter testing schedule, last week gave his criticism Rossi. Thus, there was speculation that the Ducati began to put pressure on Dorna to schedule this test (winter) could be extended again so that Rossi could cut the gap with its rivals from Repsol Honda, Casey Stoner, as well as former teammate at Yamaha, Jorge Lorenzo.

However, about it Prezioso said, "Other companies have requested to reduce the test only for Valentino. We do not think that the important point is the number of days. The important point is to interpret the right information from our riders, the proper design, and test it properly its parts, and the last thing is to have the right drivers, and we have it.

"They know how dangerous he is because the lion was still there in the cage. When we opened the cage, then of course be very dangerous."

Saturday, September 3, 2011 | 0 comments

Valentino Rossi was again occupied by the lack of grip at the front (front-end problem) bike. So often the problem arises, with Rossi suggested jokingly to the media again and simply not launch one of the previous comments.

"I always say the same thing so you can use one of my old interviews," joked Rossi as reported by GPone.

"Here the front end also did not give me the confidence I need, especially when braking. I lost time there. We lost 2 or 3 / 10 on the corner. "

And the problem is complicated when using of hard compound tires.

"Ducati works better with a soft compound, especially compared to Yamaha. This afternoon rear tire hard we try to prepare for the race, but I did not get a grip and very difficult to ride. "

Results achieved in the Free Practice session 2 (FP2) is also recognized as very disappointing. Notes to the 11th fastest time was even produced in one lap alone.

"I was only able to do one fast lap. There are a lot of traffic on the track, and I lost time with us back to the setup of Laguna Seca and Brno, and we will continue in this direction. We will make some small modifications to the second motor. But nothing too serious. We need half a second longer to fight the second rider. "

Confrontation with the style of racing back to the fore after Casey Stoner Ducati technical director Filippo Preziosi, could convey the controversial comments by stating his desire to invite Stoner go try GP12 so he knows how hard the motor is controlled.

"Casey is less pressing style front end and his size allows for different sitting positions. For me trying to ride as he would be a mistake, but it is useful to try and reduce stress on the tires. "

Limited time to test is also referred to as one of the factors that slow the development of the Ducati today.

"This is incredible, testing time has been reduced very much and I know some other manufacturers are also upset about it. We have many things to be tested, but we can not. Do not have a chance to test more often slows our work tenfold. "

Stoner Respons on Preziosi

Ducati technical director Filippo Preziosi, had responded to the fuss over the use of carbon fiber is considered as the culprit weaknesses Desmosedici. Implicitly, Preziosi refused to blame about it.

"In 2007, both Melandri and Stoner prefer it (carbon fiber) than the aluminum version. It was designed based on feedback from riders who complain of excessive flex in the previous version. Something that is normal to follow the indications of the fastest rider. "

And Casey Stoner seemed bothered by that statement. After the session Free Practice 2 (FP2) MotoGP Misano, Australian rider who is now joining the Repsol Honda team was responding.

"My relationship with Filippo very well. He does not expect the bike judged by someone as a (motor) hard (drive), they have tried many solutions, but the difficulties they continue to (continue). I know people who worked on the project, and I know what commitment (them) in depth. I expect the results to them soon, and they get a moral boost. I know how many hours Filippo and his team spent working. "Stoner said as quoted by GPone.

Ducati are now experiencing serious problems. GP11 and GP11.1 never competitive even after getting a touch of Valentino Rossi. Frame carbon fiber Ducati considered as the cause of the difficulty of control. But Stoner did not agree with this opinion.

"When we first use of carbon fiber, we already have an aluminum chassis, and it has been tested. Everyone seems to have a very bad opinion about the carbon fiber, but is actually much better than metal. We have been upgrading over the years, we encountered some problems last year, but it is the only season where we really have to fight. And, above all, even in the same season, at the end of the season we have a motor (competitive), it is my belief, has the potential to win every race. In my opinion, not a bad motor. And, somehow, the problem is not the use of carbon fiber, "said Stoner.

Casey was then trying to give an idea of ​​what exactly is being experienced by the Ducati today.

"I do not know. It seems they like to find something positive in Brno, but then it's not the same story in Indianapolis, and it seems they have a problem again here at Misano. If they could understand the reasons why could go up and down, I'm sure they can improve their results. What they need, more than anything, is more self-confidence. "

In addition of championship leadership while also revealing the Ducati currently should be able to give better results and faster. In terms of budget, funds disbursed this year the Italian manufacturer's clearly not comparable to what happened when he was still joined.

"When I was there, we do not have enough budget to try new things. Now they've got four or five different versions of the motor. Try this, try that and produce something else. Basically, we never actually receive the new updates that are sent to us throughout the season. This means that the current Ducati Ducati increased compared with the past, although they still did not seem happy with what they have. "
