Valentino Rossi “expert in psychological warfare - until someone was smarter”

MotoGP legend Rossi retired with seven championships in the premier class although none in his final 12 seasons, as the likes of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez took over.
"Valentino was an expert in psychological warfare, until he found ridersꦫ smarter than him," said Ramon F𒉰orcada.
"That's why he hadn't won s𓄧ince 2009, because others assimilated certain things꧟ for the first time.
"Valentino was the number one strategist and we have seen how many he has mentally destroyed during൩ his ca🧜reer."
R꧑ossi was not, however, the fastest rider according to Forcada, a long-time crew chief who assisted Andrea Dovizioso in 2022.
"The fastest of all was 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Casey Stoner,” Forcada said.
“He set the best times🍨 on the third lap on circuits he didn't know.
"Some are immediately very fast because they are already naturally ready, others who need to haveღ everything to be fast."

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia enters 2023 as the reigning champion after pipping 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Quartararo on the final day of the season. They shared an exhilarating year-long batt♊le which is set to resume this season.
“Apart from Pecco w⛦ho was very fast, I don't know if people understood what Fabio did,” Forcada said. “Hats off, even though he dꦗidn't win the championship.
"He found himself alone, with a bikꩵe that has not evolved, t🧔he same bike as last year, with an engine that does not turn or turns very little, with weak acceleration.
“And without using all the aerodynamic a🤪nd levelling systems that Ducati 🌠used. Being able to compete in the championship with Pecco is a great merit".
