In early February, at Sepang, following the debut of the GP12, Valentino Rossi said, "we won't know our true potential until Jerez. Only then we will know if we have to worry or not." Now, a little over two months later, we have the answer, and it's better than expected following some difficulties on the first two days in Spain. The sixth fastest time overall, less than a second from Casey Stoner, is an important result: "This is our true potential. I'm not jumping for joy, but I feel more relaxed now - affirmed Rossi after the test - The result of the second Sepang test wasn't an accurate reflection of our performance level."
So you are satisfied?
"I'm fairly happy, we worked well, Crutchlow isn't too far away (less than a tenth, ed.), the lap time isn't bad, especially considering that the GP12 has only been tested for 7 days, and I managed to be the fastest Ducati."
Is it important for you to be fastest of the Ducati riders?
