[ak93-feua] Re: Yamaha - Valentino Rossi

Pagi rek...

Sebagai sesama "satu nusa satu tim" di Yamaha
walaupun beda jualan sama Rossi...
saya juga pendukung beratnya Rossi dong...he2..

Menurut saya sih...kualitasnya Rossi masih kelihatan kok,
problemnya cuman di setelan motor "800 cc"Yamaha  & 
setelan Ban-nya yg belum ketemu yg pas..
so, doi gak bisa tampil maksimal...
Tapi kalo dilihat di beberapa race spt di Assen - Belanda
doi bisa tampil bagus kan...he2..

Optimisme tetap ada walaupun sepertinya kelihatan sulit deh 
ngejar ketinggalan 60 poin dari stoner..


Simak comentar Rossi & direktur teknik-nya Yamaha dr website resminya 
dibawah ini
setelah race di GP Chezh minggu malam kemarin..




Valentino Rossi (Position: 7th Time: +22.485)
"We expected a difficult race today because we knew our potential here 
wasn't very high after the last two days. However it was even worse than 
we expected! I tried to keep my rhythm going but, after only seven or 
eight laps, the tyre started to slide a lot on the right side and from 
then on I wasn't able to open the throttle. "Throughout the weekend we 
have done everything to try to find more traction. We have changed the 
setting a lot to try to find a way to make the tyre work, but 
unfortunately during the race we had no grip. Also, with the setting we 
had to use, we had to sacrifice some of our corner speed and this also 
slowed us down. It was very difficult today. I was able to do 1.59s to 
start with but after a few laps the tyre made a big step down and then I 
just had to wait for the end of the race. 
"I had a hard time with Capirossi at the start; in some parts I was faster 
than him but I couldn't overtake him because he was pulling away from me 
on the straights. Eventually I got past him but he stayed with me and I 
couldn't pull clear. I pushed as hard as I could; at that time I wasn't 
too fast but not too slow either, but after that my tyre was finished and 
then Vermeulen came, then Loris again... I am sad because I wasn't even 
able to try to fight with them today. Towards the end I had to push at the 
limit to stay in front of de Puniet and luckily I managed, but we were a 
very long way from a good performance. I tried to change my style, to ride 
in a different way to help the situation, but it was no good. 
"We have a test now but in reality our situation is quite bad and we have 
a few different problems to deal with. We will try to make the best of the 
next two days of work and to try to find something different for the next 
few races. We have to wait and see what we find, but for sure it's going 
to be very difficult. This is a very hard moment that we're in. We have 
six races to go and we just have to work as hard as we can to try to find 
a way to make some good results." 

D.Brivio - Fiat Yamaha Team Director
"It is very hard to find the right words to say about today! We had a very 
difficult race with Valentino and we tried our best with what we had. 
Unfortunately Colin crashed when he was feeling good after this morning, 
so that's a great pity as well. We have to keep working now to improve our 
package and the situation we find ourselves in. We have two days of 
testing here and we will try some new engine parts as well as some new 
tyres. Of course we won't give up and we will be working very hard over 
the next two days with both riders. We'll be back to try again in Misano."
