Rossi Joking On His 2011 Result

Valentino Rossi almost certain to lose his pride as a rider who always won at least one time in a motor racing season due to poor performance during 2011. Nonetheless, "The Doctor" did not lose a sense of humor that showed ahead of the Australian GP.

Nine-time world champion grand prix, said he needed the extreme weather, ie snow, in order to achieve victory in this 2011 season, after his debut with Ducati did not go smoothly as expected. Of the 15 series that have been done, Rossi just one podium finishes (finished third).

32-year-old rider admitted, horse GP11.1 Desmosedici is not competitive to be a strong competitor Honda rider, Casey Stoner and Yamaha rider Jorge Lorenzo. No wonder if Ducati has always been behind the two teams since the start of the season.

However, before the Australian GP, there is hope that the Ducati to continue its dominance in the Phillip Island Circuit.

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). This is of course very bad for Ducati always wins, so does I always win at least one series since 1996. Maybe if there is snow, I can win (laughs). "
