Left behind in sixth position, what problem Rossi with Michelin? - Runner-up last season's final standings, Valentino Rossi managed to secure sixth position in the first day of the test Philip Island, Australia (17/2).
"It is very important that we test the motor with Michelin tires at Phillip Island, Sepang because it went very well. The feeling with the tires were good from the start, and we were fast. It seems that we need to modify the motor to be adapted to this circuit.
This was my first impression, because I drove a few laps. It seems the feeling for different tires here. Therefore, it is very important for me to test on three different circuit than Sepang, Phillip Island and Qatar, then we can understand the tires properly.
It is too early to assess whether Michelin is good or bad. We still have two days to continue the test, "Rossi said in an interview with Speedweek.
Rossi also said that at circuits like Phillip Island, Michelin tires require a special type in order to still get a good grip, especially when entering the corner, the balance between the rear tires and the front tires are still not optimum.
Testing will continue for two more days before riders perform their last test in Qatar starting on March 2 next.
