The Competitive Rossi Good for MotoGP

Back join Yamaha, Valentino Rossi is believed to be competitive again. The condition is not only good for the Doctor, because it will also give a positive effect for the general spectacle of MotoGP.

Rossi has shown indications of revival while undergoing a test session at Sepang last week. Occupying the fourth position in the first two days, he closed the session by sitting in third position, behind Dani Pedrosa and Jorge Lorenzo.

"Valentino is still the fastest rider on the track and he still holds the record for the best and he will be motivated. I think it would be very, very difficult to beat him Lorenzo with the same engine, but I'm sure he'll be back to his best," predicted rider Yamaha Tech 3, Cal Crutchlow.

Results in Sepang was deemed sufficient illustrate that the Italian rider will return to the competition to be the champion in this 2013 season. Conditions that will give dampat good for MotoGP performances.

"It would be nice to watch because everyone wants him back in the future.'s Not just fans who want to see it again but another rider. He gives good competition up front and he made a fun race."

"Valentino always give the fight and for me there's no reason he can not win anymore," due diligence in an interview with MCN.

Crutchlow: Difficult to Repeat 2012 Result

Cal Crutchlow and Tech 3 Yamaha team performed well in the 2012 season and to be able to finish in the top three final standings. Repeat this success this year is believed to be work extra hard.

Having won the Rookie of The Year in the 2011 season, Crutchlow again showed slick performance at last year. Except failed to finish in five series, the British rider to perform consistently throughout the season with them twice finished on the podium and never completed the race outside the top eight.

Similar conditions occur in other Tech 3 rider, Andrea Dovizioso. Five podiums obtained and solid performances throughout the season ultimately led Tech 3 finish in the top three standings of the season, behind two teams that major manufacturers Yamaha and Honda.

For the 2013 season, Crutchlow was sure of himself and Tech 3 team can repeat these results. Competition Board will increasingly fierce amid calls for a satellite team Honda Gresini and LCR, showed improved performance.

"It will be difficult, because the two other satellite teams, (Alvaro) Bautista (at Gresini) and (Stefan) Bradl (LCR) has a motor manufacturer. We cannot anything new: Our motors (used in Sepang test) equal we use exactly the race in Valencia last year, "Crutchlow said in an interview with the BBC.

"I think this year seven to eight riders could win the race. We will come together as a team and prepare for what we call the war," said former Superbike racer that.

Before the 2013 season races were held, there will be two tests conducted by the MotoGP team at Sepang and Jerez. On the occasion, Crutchlow hopes his team can get the desired progress in preparation for a good ride this season.

"That is a good thing and a bad thing (to test the motor last season): of course we want some headway, but we also want to be more familiar with the bike. We passed a few problems, and it seems to make any progress on a few things. "

"We'll see what we can in the second test, (but) we took Yamaha to help us. Honda was at a very good year so let's see: that would be difficult," he said.

Rossi Not Match the Ducati's DNA

Two seasons strengthening Ducati, Valentino Rossi failed to carve a satisfying achievement. Italian duo collaboration failure was due to DNA did not match Desmosedici The Doctor.
There is no victory gained over the past two years to strengthen Rossi Ducati. In the course of his best achievement was only three podium finishes, each of which had in MotoGP France (2011 and 2012) as well as the series of San Marino (2012).
Called the new Ducati Motorsport boss, Bernhard Gobmeier, it happens for two seasons Desmosedici continued to seem strange by Rossi. It's not just a matter of adaptation, but since the Desmosedici has very different characteristics with Yamaha or Honda ever ridden the Italian rider.
"I believe and Ducati also believe that Valentino is one of the best riders ever. But I think he was also a victim of the gene Ducati. Motor they (Ducati) had not changed much since 2007 up to 2012," said Gobmeier in MCN.
Until now, only Casey Stoner can maximize the potential of Ducati. Four seasons reinforce the Italians in the interval 2007-2010, Stoner was once a world champion and won a total of 23 wins races.
