As the battle between Rossi and Stoner continues, we should remember it’s hard to race against Valentino. Stoner won the fight against Rossi last year, the package from Ducati was very strong with the Desmosedici, the Bridgestone tyres and the rider, Casey Stoner. But it’s not easy to fight against a seven times Italian World Champion. Don’t forget the way Sete Gibernau and Max Biaggi have tried before to win and they lost. Not only because of the package from Valentino, also because of the smile on Rossi’s face, the way he can handle the media and all the fans in the world.
Dani Pedrosa will ride next round also with the Bridgestone tyres and we are all excited about it. Dani’s test run on the Bridgestones last week was good, he was fast. But Rossi comments and warns Dani to be patient and careful.
Casey is not thinking anymore about this year, he’s looking at next year. If next year only one tyre brand will be used, the advantage for the 2008 Bridgestone riders could be less. The only advantage is the telemetry, the information they are getting in this year’s competition on every racetrack.
The other question is all about safety, called: corner speed. What changes will be made? And how will best engineers will find again the solution to increase it?
