Valentino Rossi Good Quotations

Unfortunately, Sete had a problem, which was bad luck for him because he should have been on the podium. Anyway, this is a good win for me and now I just need one more for the title. But it is not over yet.

We still have quite a few problems with the vibration and this means that we can't use the bike to its full potential and make fast lap times. We've tried lots of changes to the set-up today - balance, suspension, but the problem remains. In some of the fast corners my speed is down by as much as 15 or 20kms. The good thing is that we're much better than yesterday and we've done some really good work within the team to make these improvements, but it's still not enough and some other riders are looking very strong.

(But Michael) Schumacher, I know well. We have a good relationship.

To be honest I didn't expect Casey to be so strong at the beginning of the season and he is doing a very good job on the Honda.

The bike gives me a good feeling. Also the engine is very smooth in acceleration so I'm happy. And it's just the first day, we have another two days and we hope to do good work.

I made good start from the fourth row of the grid and was catching Marco in third place after he made a couple of mistakes,

However I am looking forward to the two new Grands Prixs; both Shanghai and Laguna Seca are fantastic tracks and it will be good to race at them.
