"But today I could not drive a motorcycle with a better way. I have a problem with the front and when I tried to push over again, I'm too much on the boundary with the front of the motor. So, more or less the same problem and unfortunately, I could not make it better. So, tomorrow will be a difficult race, starting from the third line, "explained the Italian racer.
Rossi admitted that he had made progress on the final qualifying session. However, in order to appear competitive in the race, she hopes Ducati could make some breakthroughs.
"At the end we made a modification of the motor setting and I feel better, but that was not enough. We must make a move like that again to try to achieve good results," finished the Doctor.
