This is the area that we have to work hard. This is where we say that the Honda rider very strong, high-speed even though the lower teeth. "

I will start on Friday with a little experience because I did not join the race there last year," said the Ducati rider mainstay of this. "I never ride a MotoGP bike there even though I was able to complete about 20 laps there with motor sport in 1198.

"I had to learn the track quickly and as much as possible, because this is very technical, with a few dark spots in which to take the right path becomes very important. We of course will also work to adjust the motor.

"However, we increasingly understand the set GP11, and Ducati continues to develop. There's still work to be done, but it is clear that the areas which should be addressed and we are all focus to fix it."

In its inaugural season with Ducati in 2011, the performance is not optimal Rossi. Nevertheless, the former Honda and Yamaha rider has been successful on the podium when finishing in the top three in the fourth series at Le Mans, France, 15 May. Now he is in fifth position in the standings, five adrift of the Repsol Honda rider Andrea Dovizioso, on the order of three.
