“I’m glad it’s time for Mugello, it‘s a special weekend and a special race for all the Italian riders. It has a fantastic atmosphere, but it’s also a bit tricky to manage with all the fans. It‘s really great. This is one of the most beautiful race tracks of the year. It‘s a track I really like, but it will be hard because everybody is very fast. Mugello does have less acceleration from a low speed. So I think we could be faster than in Le Mans, but it is also true that there is a very long straight. Surely this will be our weak point, but if we work well, we can defend ourselves. We need to try our best to be competitive and give the maximum,” says Rossi as quoted from Yamaha Racing.

“After the crash at Le Mans, I left the circuit with a bad taste in my mouth. I was very disappointed. We worked very well all weekend, but the problem was that I started too far from the first row of the grid. We‘ve learned from this, we have to work hard on Saturdays. I’m really looking forward to being back on my bike this weekend. During the last Grand Prix I had a good feeling on the M1, it was almost perfect and I was able to go very fast. We are solving all the problems step by step. I‘m sure that we are heading in the right direction. So, if we‘ll continue working hard, good results will arrive soon.
