Walaupun Rossi belum bisa podium sewaktu race di Misano,… ia tampak cukup puas dengan hasil yang dicapai nya… di posisi ke 7 …!!! Hal ini tidak terlepas dari start yang cukup bagus ia lakukan… terutama dalam melibas 3 tikungan awal … walaupun turun sedikit hujan mewarnai sepak terjangnya …!!! Tidak heran ia langsung berada di second group bersama Simoncelli, Dovi dan Spies …!!!

Berbeda dengan Rossi yang cukup cemerlang… rekan setimnya Hayden kurang beruntung dan ndlozooor pada lap ke 3 ….!!! Hayden merasakan tiba-tiba saza grip depan hilang… dan baaaang… ia terjatuh di tikungan ke 15…!!! Diduga karena faktor ban yang masih dingin.. ataupun ada titik air hujan yang menyebabkan hal ini …!!!

Valentino Rossi (Ducati Team) 7th
“I’m pretty happy because we didn’t expect to do this well. I didn’t think I’d be able to stay with the second group, which is our goal at the moment, and instead we managed it for half the race. We still weren’t able to attack like we’d like to, but anyway, we were right there. I started really well from the fourth row, and I was a little crazy through the first three corners because I had to push even though there were some raindrops. It was nice after that. I stayed with ‘Sic’ and ‘Dovi’ for a little while and also battled with Spies, and we maintained a good pace. This morning we made a good change on the front, and if we’d done that yesterday I probably could have started closer to the front. It ended up being one of my best races of the year, although of course we have to remember that we’re only talking about seventh place. Still, it was a nice race in front of a good crowd. We’re fairly satisfied as we wait to take the necessary steps forward.”

Last,… setting di Misano ini akan dijadikan base setting untuk laga berikutnya di Aragon yang akan terjadi 2 minggu lageee …!!! Pembenahan perlu dilakukan isana-sini… agar setidaknya selisih pada waktu QP… antara Ducati dengan pole position sekitar 0.5 detik… dan Rossi bisa berada di second rows …!!! 😀
