After this year's second pre-season test at Phillip Island, Valentino Rossi decided to use traditional 2015 version of the bike for a fight this season.
"I prefer the 2015 version of the bike because I was faster. Especially the front," said Rossi.
"With the 2016 bike I had a lot of problems when entering corners and made me slow.
So I think this year we will race on a motorbike in 2015, "admitted Rossi.
When asked whether the 2016 version of the motor may have greater potential, for example, if the front improved, Rossi added:
"That's possible, but it takes a lot of time. I have tried many settings on this bike and the results are still not perfect.
For now I focus on the standard bike, I felt fast and I was determined to keep using a motor similar to 2015.
Rossi only finish fifth fastest on the last day of the test, but he left only 0.277s behind the fastest time Marc Marquez.
