Valentino Rossi admits that clinching victory in Spain is not likely this weekend, although the multiple World Champion is confident about Ducati’s continued progress as the Italian outfit prepares for the Catalan Grand Prix.
“The Catalan Grand Prix is one of the nicest of the season, for a number of reasons: Barcelona is a beautiful city, the track is really nice - probably my second favourite after Mugello - and finally, as is always the case at Spanish races, the grandstands are filled with enthusiastic fans,” says the Italian.
“I’m really happy to return, since I had to watch the race from home last year. I’ve always been quite strong at the track, so have many nice memories - the most recent of which is the 2009 win after a great battle with Lorenzo.
“We’re very motivated and we’re working really hard on the bike; step-by-step, we can see that we’re making progress. We know there’s still a lot of work to be done, but we need to keep trying to get closer to the front.”
