Austin MotoGP: Valentino Rossi blames brake issue for poor race

After battling through to secure a podium in the first race of his Yamaha return, Rossi headed to Texas aware that Honda could dominate given its pre-season form at the circuit.

As a consequence Rossi said he started the race on the defensive and with a top-five finish his main target.

While Lorenzo and Cal Crutchlow on the satellite Tech 3 Yamaha were able to achieve that, Rossi felt a brake issue meant sixth was the best he could manage.

"This is a difficult track for us," he acknowledged.

"We expected to do better, but I had a lot of problems in the race because I had a problem with the brakes.

"I had a vibration in braking because I lost one part of a disc so this didn't help.

"We knew that we had to defend here; we know that when we cannot attack we need to try and arrive in the top five but today it was sixth.

"The balance of the first two races is positive and we arrive in Jerez optimistic for the next few races as the tracks are better for us."

Yamaha team boss Massimo Meregalli said pre-race set-up tweaks had also proved ineffective for Rossi, although he insisted he was happy with the team's return of third and sixth from the race.

"Vale's team worked really hard to try and fit the bike to his riding style; they improved the bike through each practice," Meregalli said.

"Unfortunately we made another step from the warm up to the race that didn't work as we expected. He also had a vibration on the front from his brakes.

"I think we are leaving Austin in a really good shape and we are really looking forward to the Jerez race."

Aj barem je sve udarilo u ionako lošem vikendu,bolje jedan kompletna banana neko dva odvojeno....

Jebote što padaju... Rossi, Pedrosa, Crutchlow, svi se skršili na kvalama. Rossijev motor totalno uništen, njemu srećom nije ništa

Moglo bi biti zanimljivo sutra

[CrnojevicSinisa]

Daj zamisli da se u online igri navečer ovako dođe do 2. mjesta kao Marquez ispred Lorenza?

Pa pobili bi se preko interneta... A vidiš njih dvojcu... Malo mahanja sa glavama i ignoriranja..

[Screamingeagle]

Ja za boravio skroz na motogp.....tko če sve poprati jbt

[s2000]

Odlična utrka a Marquez me iz utrke u utrku sve više impresionira

[toni_cro]

marquez jedina svjetla točka, ostatak je bio dosadan

[iced16]

marquez setnjom do naslova? nece valjda...

Edit: Imao sam dojam da je situacija malo jednostavnija a  zapravo on Pedrosa i Lorenzo unutar 4 boda. Sjajno 

[crorastafa]

Kako je vozio u moto 3 to je bilo strasno, i ne bi se cudio da osvoji naslov vec ove sezone jer vozi fenomenalno na limitu.

Uff, jedva čekam utrku. Rossi i Pedrosa su moji favoriti, ali Marc je gadan igrač. Sve će ih pomesti do kraja sezone.

[Screamingeagle]

Nejde Rossiu 

[s2000]

Nejde Rossiu 

hm... Ista stvar ko i sa Spiesom samo što nema pehova kao on...
Yamaha se okrenula jednom vozaču i taj  vozač ima svemirski bolid ==> LORENZO

Spies je to objavio na svom blogu i zato ih je sam napustio iako je imao ugovor i za ovu sezonu, jbg baš mi je žao što Rossi nema motocikl koji je dovoljno konkurentan za borbu u sami vrh 

Nadam se kiši sutra da im Rossi  pokaže kako se vozi
