80 Percent of anything, Rossi can be Shocking

Everything is possible. Valentino's shoulder continues to improve from day to day. Muscles and the feeling is getting good. I think, for the series opener later, it is possible for Valentino to achieve 80-85 percent - and even with 80 percent of any condition Valentino, things might happen, "

Guareschi statement refers to the physical condition of Rossi, who is still in the healing process of post-operative right shoulder in mid-November. Moreover, "The Doctor" is also not take part on the second day of official practice at Sepang because of esophageal pain sore throat and fever.

However, he added, so far there are few changes were made Ducati since Rossi made his debut in the post-season test at Valencia, in early November. They made some improvements, based on proposals winning seven world titles the MotoGP class.

"Indeed, there are small changes, just change the normal setting. But after testing in Valencia, we create a different seat, as well as the handlebars and footpegs, because riding position is very important. The work was not completed, but its position is now convenient for Valentino.

"We also make a wing, a different framework, one triple clamp (triangle) - but this time he has not tried them all. He just changed his position and balance the motor, but not with others."

Guareschi currently holds the dual positions in the Ducati team. Aside from being a manager, he also could be a test rider. The transition from racer to team manager was held at the end of the 2009 season, when Livio Suppo move to Honda. That is, he's got two roles.

Only, this time Guareschi got a bit of pressure following the arrival of Rossi. The reason, he is required to give a good motor to the 31-year-old rider, who is expected to raise the passion of Ducati's Casey Stoner took since they became world champion of 2007.

Rossi Change the Style

Valentino Rossi admitted he did not have enough time to adapt to the Ducati Desmosedici GP11. Because of that, "The Doctor" sure would change the style of racing that can "tame" these new motors.

Since making his debut with Ducati in the post-season tests last November to two pre-season test in February, Rossi has not been able to show a promising performance. In fact, winning seven world titles MotoGP is predicted to be the toughest rivals Honda and Yamaha in MotoGP 2011.

Nevertheless, Rossi, whose appearance is not maximized as it is in the post-operative recovery shoulder, feeling that Ducati still has the potential to bring a champion. Only, he needed an apt way to conquer the GP11 that is well-known "wild" is.

"This motor must be driven with more force that can control the stangnya, in the sense that, to enable it to swing properly, you need to make a sliding rear wheel a lot," said Rossi told Motosprint.

"In this case, the Ducati is very different from the Yamaha. But this is a maneuver that I tried to do to solve the problems we are facing now: I think, over time, we will be much improved situation.

"(Cornering) are things that we have many shortcomings. But now, just how to ride this bike to be adapted, because it is the DNA motors."

Rossi sure, some progress will be achieved by changing the setting.

"There are still some areas where we have problems, so we can quickly deal with it," said Rossi. "I'm talking about custom motorcycle when doing acceleration, the engine power curve, traction control, and all the electronic controls.

"I'm sure we'll soon see some improvements on this issue because the Ducati technicians are very good, and I think I've given them some indication of precision.

"As for the rest, the issue was not addressed. We need to try to make this bike for the better: this time Desmosedici is still difficult to overcome."

Aware that it needs more time to change the motor, Rossi said he should change the driving style. The hope, he could reduce the weaknesses that still exist "iron horse" hers.

"It depends on me to adapt to the motor - also because we have little time to make major changes," he said. "But while I adapt, we will continue to work to fix the motor."

Stay confident

Rossi said the same confidence can achieve a good speed with Ducati, although the results achieved during the test at Sepang was not encouraging. She would not despair just because the results of the pre-season training.

"That does not mean that I do not think we can do it," explained Rossi. "I never give up, so too with my team, and of course the Ducati too.

"We have many ideas, we just need time to work. I am curious to see what it's like this bike at other tracks, starting from Qatar, and with the other temperatures too."

Potential Rossi Can Not Visible

Valentino Rossi had a bad since decided to pull out of the Yamaha. In his debut with Ducati in the post-season test last November, "The Doctor" is almost helpless, as well as the two official test results of pre-season in February and then in Sepang, Malaysia.

Result of the above, there was much speculation, including mentions that Rossi was "exhausted". But Colin Edwards had a somewhat different opinion, because according to the Tech 3 Yamaha rider Rossi has not been 100 percent fit, so it is difficult to see the potential with the Italian team.

Indeed, Rossi is still in the healing process of post-operative right shoulder, which makes it difficult to "tame" Desmosedici GP11. Injury that continues to bother him during the 2010 season was experienced in February last year, motocross accident.

This is what makes sure that Edwards, a former teammate is (at the Yamaha factory team) has not been able to perform optimally. In fact, he said, Rossi is the type of rider who never appear even if only half the training session.

"I never saw it fit when riding a motorcycle, so I do not know what the potential of it. I think he will need more hard work and out of his comfort zone to make the bike work, and I'm sure he could do it.

"I've never seen him ride a bike with 10 ways in one race, so it would not be a problem. He can race with the coarse and fine or he can adapt to anything. But this will be a chore. At the same time, by JB (Jerry Burgess) was there and the ability Ducati changed more quickly, they may be terrible one week and come back next week and pass anyone. "

Before diving in 2011 in the series inaugural MotoGP Losail Circuit, Qatar, on March 20, all riders and teams are still going to do one last test. Tryouts will take place on 13 and 14 March in Qatar.

Rossi Start Harmful in Part the Second

Former MotoGP world champion, Kevin Schwantz, admits that they remain confident in the power of Valentino Rossi. According to the United States the rider, "The Doctor" must still be calculated on the MotoGP 2011. However, added the rider of the legendary Texas, Rossi will be in a position to win with his new motorcycle, Ducati GP11, until the second half this season.

Indeed, Rossi's preparations disturbed by the conditions that have not been 100 percent fit. The reason, winning seven MotoGP world title is still in recovery post-surgery shoulder injury in mid-November.

In effect, the performance of 32-year-old rider was not convincing during pre-season test last February at Sepang, Malaysia. Nine-time world champion motor racing was never able to penetrate the top 10. As a result, many people have difficulty assessing Rossi on his debut for the Desmosedici GP11.

But Schwantz, who won the 500cc class world title in 1993 with Suzuki, said that it is too early to judge the potential of Rossi. According to him, the new Rossi's actual performance can be seen when conditions are already 100 percent, because he's getting dangerous in the second half.

"I think Ducati have to wait until she is comfortable with his shoulder, so that they can find exactly what she needs so that confidence back again in the race," said Schwantz told MCN.

"You always hear talk about how much time is lost on the track. But you do not get the information you need to make a better motor, if pebalapmu not in 100 percent condition.

"They have to wait until Valentino said he was ready and able to race well. We know, he and Jerry Burgess can do that, but I think JB has not been willing to make changes to the motor when he knew pebalapnya not 100 percent.

"But I saw, he would achieve victory in the series after the mid-season. I think they'll lose quite a lot of points at the start because fitness Valentino, and direction of development of the Ducati. But once they have started to comfortable and confident, I think they will start making progress, such as the Yamaha and Honda.

"I know, Valentino is not the Ducati just because to collect the money. He wants to win and I think he still has the ability to win the world title.
