Hello friend steemit, Good Afternoon wherever you are
The Movistar Yamaha MotoGP rider Valentino Rossi may have ended his pre-season testing at Losail, Qatar in second place, but that does not mean he stopped worrying about YZR-M1's notoriously consistent performance during three trials earlier this year.
Rossi finished ninth in Malaysia and 12th in Thailand and crashed on Saturday in Qatar before recording his best time with 0.247 seconds behind Johann Zarco. Rossi feels competitive while undergoing the first half of racing simulation, but doubt it can maintain the performance of the tires to the end. "I think we have been working hard for three days and I was able to undergo a very good lap, to be in second place and have a good rhythm, but somehow what will happen in the race We are all very close together There are many powerful riders. difficulty with the tires, and I only had half the racing simulation, "he said. "We have tried a lot of different things to fix the front tire, I crash in front of the front tire, and with the front tires I like, it's going to be difficult to go through the last part of the race I'm not comfortable enough and crash.Luckily I'm fine, "continued The Doctor. While Yamaha has not found the right formula for the YZR-M1 to appear competitive and consistent ahead of the opening series on 16-18 March, Rossi also predicted that this season will run unexpectedly. According to him, the performance of each rider will be determined by different track characters. "What we know from the preseason is that, like last year, our situation will always change and depends on the track, we are very difficult in Thailand, but competitive in Qatar It will be tricky, hopefully for everyone It will be very important not to ' suffering 'in difficult tracks.We are all very fierce, and the difference between strong and not strong is very thin,
