Coming to MotoGP Assen, Media Reveals Adu Opini Rossi with Vinales

Racing news - It seems a bit difficult considering a Grand Prix where Yamaha Factory Racing teams are in trouble all weekend. But according to Sportrider who was present on the track, it was really experienced by two drivers from Iwata, Japan team in MotoGP Catalunya 2017, 9-11 June ago.

As is known, Valentino Rossi can only finish 8th, while Maverick Vinales finish the race in order to-10. For Vinales, this is the result of his worst race of the season after failing to reap points in MotoGP Austin 2017 and finish 6th in MotoGP Jerez.

As for Rossi, he finished 10th in Jerez and fell in MotoGP France 2017. But in general, in Jerez and France, as well as Austin, a poor finish one of the Garputala team drivers, can be closed by good results by other teammates.

Yields in Catalunya also make Vinales, although still at the top of the drivers standings, only seven points ahead of Andrea Dovizioso (Ducati) in second place. While Rossi who has not tasted the podium in the last four races, now scattered in fifth position, 28 points adrift of teammates.

At the moment Rossi criticized the performance of the Yamaha YZR-M1 2017 specification. Vinales became the most confused driver in MotoGP Catalunya. Moreover, two racers Satellite Tech 3 Yamaha teams, Johann Zarco and Jonas Folger finish better than two factory team riders.

"I do not know what is going on, but every time I make progress in the championship, something happens. I will not continue to complain about tires, because that's just a repeat. I know I do not like the current problem, "Vinales said in a post-MotoGP Catalunya 2017 press conference.

"I felt unbeaten in the first few races, but in Catalunya I finished 10th, maybe 15th if the drivers in front of no one fell and damaged the engine. Michelin said, this is the price we have to pay for not taking the test two weeks earlier. That's a ridiculous statement, because in Argentina we did not test there and win. At Mugello we also almost won the race. Our motor is perfect, "he added.

Well, now it is clear that the frustration has been built in the garage Yamaha, according to Vinales with Rossi has the opposite view of M1 2017. The Doctor throws a harsh criticism, while the Top Gun praised.

Vinales who was disappointed in his home race continued his opinion: "It is impossible in Le Mans we are the best bike, then in Catalunya so the worst motorcycle. I have tried the 2016 motorcycle, but the 2017 motor is much better. "

Just minutes after Vinales spoke, Rossi arrived at the same press conference room. He then put forward a 180 degree different opinion with Vinales.

"Yes, of course we have to pay dearly for not having a test two weeks ago," were the first words out of Rossi's mouth, then he explained the problems he faced with M1 2017.

"Listen to me, Maverick and I'll explain it. We really lost our grip. I was forced to slow down so many motors, because the bike has understeer, "Rossi said trying to analyze in general.

The 38-year-old rider went into detail. "We need to restore the M1 2016 feeling, to be more competitive with less effort. I have been racing against M1 2016 and I am a good test driver. Since I first came out with M1 2017, I feel it's harder to turn. With this bike we have to lie longer along the bend, and this makes the tires run out faster. "

Well, that's the clear answer from Rossi about Vinales statement confused with the difficulty in the 2017 Catalunya MotoGP race. The Doctor then offended Yamaha Factory Racing team that more trusting 'new people' (Vinales) rather than himself.

"For this reason we suffer. It is true Vinales is very competitive with this bike, and in fact he won two races early in the season. He is fast and competitive, and because of that, it is normal (for the team) to think that this is the right direction (in motor development), "Rossi said in front of Vinales.

"I realize that turning back (to M1 2016) will not be fun, but we need to take the feeling from the motor (to M1 2017). Yamaha motor power point is always on entering the bend and speed in the corner, and also me, "Rossi explained while praising himself.

"With the M1 2017 we have lost that power. After Jerez, I had time to ask Yamaha for certain things that we will test in the next tests. Let's hope I get back feeling from the motor last year, "he added.

Rossi last talks about the odd championship in MotoGP this season. "You have to limit the ugliness in the less good days, and make the most of when you have a good weekend. Unfortunately, I can not do that in Le Mans. With M1 2017, I experience this bad sensation even when I can perform fast. "
