What made Rossi faster? Apart from that Yamaha contract that is, and the fact that Stoner is out and Dani was in the dirt???
Nothing imo. Ducati had a two day test at Misano few weeks back while the rest tested elsewhere. Friday was a washout so that leaves only saturday to work on a race setup and put in a decent quali run. Not ideal and played in Vales hands. Still, great to see him back on the podium – a fitting tribute to his buddy and great for his fans.
I’d expect normal service to resume next race, with Rossi 20+ seconds back from the winner.
Can’t wait to see how JR does next time out with a decent weekend behind him.
