Rossi Still Continues Whining

Jerez - Valentino Rossi was a surprise when the second free practice at the Jerez circuit on Friday (27/04/2012) afternoon. In the sessions that took place in the wet track conditions, "The Doctor" took second place. However, when appearing in qualifying on Saturday (04.28.2012), which took place in dry conditions, Rossi was thrown from the top 10.

Italian rider was only able to be ranked 13th. He left 3.429 seconds from Yamaha rider Jorge Lorenzo, who occupy the pole position. Rossi is not only losing two Ducati satellite team rider, but also behind the rider in the team category of CRT, Randy de Puniet (Aprilia), who in the race on Sunday (4/29/2012) This will start from position-10.

After qualifying, Rossi again reveals the difficulty. Seven-time MotoGP world champion admitted that he had not been able to adapt to the Ducati, as well as front-end issues that still haunt.

"The problem is that I lost a lot of time when entering the corner," said nine-time world champion grand prix this. "I was not fast enough to bring the bike into the corner, and make the bike up in the corner.

"I need more time to arrive at the point of maximum or I need more close the gas valve so that the motor remains in the ground. I lost a lot of time in this area."

However, the results achieved much in contrast to Rossi's teammate, Nicky Hayden. 2006 world champion could play well so it will start from third place, behind Lorenzo and Repsol Honda rider, Dani Pedrosa.

Well, it means that there are other issues that make the Rossi camp are not competitive. Suspected, the lack of experience factor makes Rossi and his crews have not been able to adapt to the Ducati on the second season of this so that they cannot even find the right setting.

However, Rossi denied. The former Honda and Yamaha rider is still defended his decision to bring his own crew, led by Jeremy Burgess.

"I know what to do to get faster, but unfortunately it did not work with Ducati," said Rossi. "My team is certain to be in the same position. During 30 years with a number of different motors and all the tricks they've done to get faster. However, it does not work with this bike."

Thus, Rossi and his team had to work extra hard in order to achieve better results during the race later. In the first series in Qatar, April 8, Rossi was in the 12th position in qualifying, and put an end to the night race in 10th place.
