Difficult Race For Rossi At Brno

Italian Ducati rider Valentino Rossi enjoyed a very promising warm-up session on a wet track, yet the multiple World Champion’s race at Brno in the Czech Republic proved to be more difficult than anticipated.

During the race Rossi suffered a loss of tyre grip, forcing him to slow and he eventually finished seventh.
Rossi and his team will now travel to the Misano circuit, where the Italian great will participate in a two-day test on Tuesday and Wednesday. His American teammate Nicky Hayden, who was unable to race in Indianapolis and in Brno this weekend, will miss the test while he recovers in the United States. Hayden is expected to return for the Grand Prix of San Marino.

Valentino Rossi
“I started well and the early laps weren’t bad, although the bike started to lose oil right from the beginning. It went on the footrests and the brake- and shift levers, which bothered me, as my feet were slipping everywhere. I probably could have done a bit better without that inconvenience, and maybe I would have finished close to Dovizioso. Anyway, I also had to slow down because the rear tyre began sliding too much after some laps, which has been our problem. Now we’ll see in the test at Misano in two days if we can manage to find something to help us in the last races.”

Vittoriano Guareschi, Team Manager
“The weekend started well. We improved steadily in every session, but the race didn’t play out positively for us. After the early laps, the bike suffered a loss of grip with the rear tyre, and Valentino lost contact with the leaders. As for the oil leak, we analysed the engine data and we have confirmed that there’s nothing unusual and that engine performance wasn’t affected. It certainly made riding more difficult because it made the footrests very slippery. We have a two-day test with Valentino at Misano on Tuesday and Wednesday, and we’ll work primarily on the chassis.”
