Good progress from Valentino Rossi was appear on Estoril. Start from 9th position, Rossi took 7th on the finish line. Rossi admit that this race is a little better. He said, “It went a bit better this time, in the sense that we started from a better base on Friday and we managed to prepare for today over the course of the weekend. I was able to approach the race knowing what to expect from the bike, and I therefore managed to push harder and get a little closer to the limit."

Rossi continue, "The first laps were decent. I moved up a couple of positions and then I maintained a consistent pace, doing times that we expected to do. We can say that we took advantage of our current potential, and now we’ll have to work to make another step forward. We must improve on corner exits and on acceleration because right now we’re not able to be as effective as the others due to the fact that we can’t get all of the power to the ground."

Like Hayden said, Rossi also will test Ducati again on Estoril today. "We have a test tomorrow, and we’ll start working. Anyway, today I even managed to have some fun.” said Rossi.
