Sepang, Shown very impressive in first practice on Friday (8/10/10), to be the fastest, Valentino Rossi actually worse off during the qualifying session. In the second practice, she slid to third place, and when it struggled to compete for starting positions, Saturday (9/10/10), "The Doctor" is only able to be ranked
sixth. This makes the 31-year-old rider was disappointed.
Selection of the rear tires less precise is the reason why Rossi's performance is less good. Kompound Bridgestone tires softer, making the Italian rider was only able to record time of 2 minutes 02.030 seconds, 0.493 seconds adrift of his partner in the Fiat Yamaha, Jorge Lorenzo, who won the pole position.
"It (qualifying) is tough and I wish I could be faster. With hard tires we were not too bad, but unfortunately, with it (hard tires), I'm too much twist. And when I use a soft tire, I could not use extra grip for the motor often slide out of control. Therefore, I start from the second row.
"This will be a problem and more difficult because I think if it does not rain during the race, it will be very difficult for anyone. Start from the second row must be even more difficult.
"We are trying to improve the grip with some modifications and our setting out, with hard tires we would not be far behind. I do not give up and will try to perform optimally."
Winning nine world championship motorcycle racing is also admitted, physical conditions will greatly affect its performance during the race. Therefore, hot weather (if not raining) would drain a lot of energy, because the temperature is expected to reach 35 degrees Celsius, a case during qualifying.
"The condition of my shoulder is not too bad, but after a few laps, I began to lose power and the temperature is at most make me suffer.
"Additionally, after a foot injury last June, I can not physically prepare better. I can not do aerobic exercise, which is needed to maintain the condition of 100 percent.
"I suffer because of this and during the race will be very difficult. But it will be the same for every rider. So, it all depends on the condition of the motor. If we fix the setting and the motor becomes much easier, it is physically too should be ok."
Unlike teammate Jorge Lorenzo who won the Pole Position, he now lives waiting for the final seconds to clinch the title he MotoGP world champion 2010.
Because unless he had to work hard for victory in the race later, he will certainly earned it. He only needs to finish in ninth and get points 7, the title of world champion will be assumed.
Moreover, he will start in the first row and of course took pole Position, will not be difficult for him to achieve all that. However, grabbing pole position does not make Lorenzo won the race in Sepang later, because the drivers of this Spanish origin, admitted only want to secure the points with no thought of victory.
