Well,… kelihatan tim Ducati bekerja keras untuk mengejar ketertinggalan dibandingkan Honda Repsol yang sudah sering kali menjuarai race di MotoGP 2011 ini …!!! Naaagh, race di Assen nanti tim Ducati akan menurunkan Ducati GP 11.1.. alias ada perbaikan dibandingkan Ducati GP11 …!!! Yup,… Ducati akan menggunakan chasis Ducati GP12 dengan engine 800cc … !!! Selain itu juga kaan menggunakan Ducati Seamless Tranmission (DST) mirip yang digunakan oleh tim Honda Repsol dengan Dual Clutch Technology …!!! 😀

Pada race di Assen nanti… Rossi akan berusaha seoptimal mungkin… coz track record Rossi di Assen banyak menjuarai… !!! Bahkan di tahun 2007,.. starting grid berada di posisi ke 11… namun ia berhasil menjadi juara 1 race di Assen ini …!!!

VALENTINO ROSSI, Ducati Marlboro Team
“Assen is one of my tracks—one of those that I like most and where I’ve had some nice races in all the classes. We’ll try to take advantage of that good feeling and of our experience at this circuit because Thursday morning we’ll debut some updates to my bike that are very promising but also very fresh. Filippo [Preziosi], the guys at Ducati and the Test Team have worked really hard, and that has enabled us to make this new step with the development of our bike. We haven’t had the chance to test the 800 since Estoril, so we’ll do it during the race weekends, being aware that despite having very limited time, we’ll have to focus on two jobs: making basic adjustments to the new technical parts, and finding a general setup for the race on Saturday. We’ll have to do a good job on the track in order to get the most out of the work done at the factory. It will be hard, and we know it might take some time before we can completely reach the potential of the whole package, but we’re happy and motivated by the work we’re doing.”

Last,.. untuk track di Assen memang record best lap masih dipegang oleh Jorge Lorenzo dengan catatan waktu 1’34.515 detik… dimana panjang lintasan circuit Assen 4.54 km …. !!! Apakah dengan Ducati GP11.1 Rossi bisa menjadi yang tercepat di Assen… yaaagh kita tunggu saja aksi Rossi ‘the Doctor’ berikutnya … !!! 😀
