Rossi in red
According to MCN, Valentino Rossi will be quitting Yamaha to sign a deal with Ducati.
The trusted insider told MCN that Rossi is walking out because of a dispute over the renewal of his multi-million contract and his refusal to continue racing with Jorge Lorenzo as his team-mate.
Q&A with Vale
1. Vale, first question: how are you and are you still in pain?
The positive thing is that the worst is past and that the two operations went well, so everything is okay. Now I am expecting a difficult period, in which I have to be aware of the risk of infection and in which I must remain with the leg constantly elevated. Then there will come a second key period, when I will be able to start my rehabilitation and, with support on the leg, will be able to start to walk around with crutches.
2. Dr. Buzzi talked about a rehabilitation period of about five or six months, what do you think? Read more
Lorenzo snatches the win from Rossi
All he had to do was to overtake Rossi and things just fell in place after that, this is what he had to say:
“Passing Valentino wasn’t so easy because he was braking so deep and I had to be very patient, something that I might not have managed one year ago! Finally I overtook him but I didn’t expect to be able to get away like that. My bike and Bridgestone tyres just felt so good and it wasn’t difficult for me to keep this pace up.”
The real battle was between the two Honda team mates Pedrosa and Dovizioso, Dovizioso managed to steal the third place at podium from Pedrosa at the final lap.
