Friday, 30 May 2008Mugello has been a friend for Rossi, he has won 6 consecutive win and never lost there. This circuit seems friendlier to Valentino than Ducati force :) He once said that when he didn't win, his life is not normal, he is very depressed if not winning which is very normal I guess... So no wonder when he won in Shanghai after a drought since September 2007, he was very relief and it seems he found his strength again. I can see from his expression that he has put away the burden.
He came to Mugello with opti! mism and all riders say that he is the one to chase, but the weather is unpredictable, it was heavy rain on Friday (30 May 2008) and all teams suffer in lap time. But, as usual Rossi will find its moment and and will strike to the front row.
His contract is about to expire this year and he said he is 90% sure that he will stay in Yamaha, he said that he likes Yamaha, because its just like a family, everyone is warm and he has a very good relationship with Masao Furusawa (Yamaha's racing boss), they there are some pictures shows it, not like when he was in Honda.
!
The contract will be probably signed after US grand prix! , but I think the result will be the same, he will absolutely in Yamaha for 1 or 2 years, his chief mechanic that he brought from Honda, Jeremy Burgess, and Davide Brivio all by his side. Lin Jarvis is the man of his side too, so there is no reason it will fail.
