Valentino Rossi, Ben Spies, and John Hopkins all had tough afternoons at the Malaysian Grand Prix. (http://www.sportrider.com/news/146_1110_2011_motogp_sepang_malaysia_qualifying_report__hard_luck_stories/index.html)SEPANG, MALAYSIA, OCT 22 – Three different riders, three different stories, none of them with happy endings.
Ducati Marlboro’s Valentino Rossi returned to the Sepang International Circuit where he won his last race over a year ago and hasn’t come close since. This weekend he crashed yet again with a lack of front end feeling. In the year since he first rode the Desmosedici, that lack of front end feeling hasn’t improved. And he keeps crashing.
“It’s a problem that I had from the first time I tested this bike,” Rossi told the Italian media in his native language on Saturday afternoon. “Unfortunately we haven’t been able to resolve it. After a year we have the same problem.”
