Well,… pendukung Valentino Rossi mungkin agak kecewa… mengingat pada QP kemarin Rossi berada di posisi ke 11…!!! Jauh sekali dibandingkan dengan Free Practice 1 yang bisa bertengger di posisi ke 2 …!!! Ducati GP11.1 yang diharapkan bisa bicara banyak ternyata belum bisa apa-apa… !!! Ada apa gerangan ??? 😀

Ternyata Rossi mengalami kesulitan untuk mendapatkan feeling motor Ducati GP11.1 …!!! Bagian belakang motor ini memang lebih baik… namun ban tidak bisa panas-panas… sehingga kesulitan untu ‘gigit’ dan mendapatkan feeling atas motor Ducati GP11.1 …!!! Hmmmm memang… kalau race di circuit… ban nggak panas-panas… refooot jadinya… mau nikung serba salah… gampang ndlosooor …!!!

Valentino Rossi (Ducati Marlboro Team) 11th, 1:36.564
“We’re disappointed with qualifying because we had started quite well yesterday, so clearly, we expected things to go better today. We had a decent session this morning, but we weren’t able to improve, so we’ll start eleventh. The rear of the GP11.1 is better than the previous version, but we weren’t able to find a setup that allowed us to bring the tyres up to temperature, and at the moment, that’s making it difficult to find the feeling I need to ride hard and be strong on corner entry. I don’t think we’ve yet learned how to properly adjust the bike, and that’s something we knew could happen since we have so little time available. Still, this all helps us to gather experience for the future, and we have some ideas for tomorrow’s warm-up session that we hope will help us go faster in the race.”

Last,… memang waktu yang sedikit agak kesulitan dalam mensetup motor ini… namun dengan tim Ducati berharap pada session warming up… bisa menemukan setting yang pass… !!! Anyway,… kita lihat saja kira-kira ada improvement nggak Ducati GP11.1…. dan bagaimana peluangnya melawan tim raksasa seperti Repsol Honda ataupun Yamaha …??? 😀
