These are Rossi’s words immediately after the Barcelona race: “It’s a real shame, I made two mistakes in a row. This was a very different incident from last week. At Misano we did something different on the bike, and I wasn’t very strong, I didn’t feel 100%. This weekend has been different because I have always been competitive. I drove well and was on the limitBecause he was behind Fabio and he didn’t want to lose much, he wanted to be with him. Curving there, to the left, especially in low temperatures, is always very dangerous and I lost the lead.. I think I could have fought for the victory and certainly for the podium, that was our goal. In terms of results I have to do better. There are still many races to go but we want to be competitive from Le Mans“.
