Sepang, Day 1: Declarations Ducati

Ikanopoiimenoi by Rossi and Hayden The Valentino Rossi started well this morning and some time was in the top six. After the tests the first day was in ninth place and completed 53 laps. The Italian rider said: Valentino Rossi: "We can be satisfied from the first day of testing and we were one second behind the first, as we were during the previous test here. However, today we tried not to make good time at the end and did not use soft tires, as did others. In most of the day I was fifth or sixth and that was the goal we set at the outset. I still miss about three tenths on the tour because of my shoulder, but the rest (ten until you close the gap) is to reduce the work we do on the bike. Also, I am happy because I drove too hard on tires. Towards the end of the current test we chose two settings that we had in previous trials of Sepang and that means we have a good base to work from. " The Nikcy Hayden, who was 12th, said: "It's nice to come back here to evolve even further to GP11. In the morning we made various arrangements to confirm that what we learned last time was right. Everything went according to a program other than the fall I had at the end of the morning trials. It was hot and I lost the front of the bike, fortunately we move slowly and do not hit or wrecked. Today we had so many shocks, which is good, but it is a phenomenon that we must remove. They should find the settings to get better traction, so we have enough work. "
