For class rider Valentino Rossi, the results he achieved until the first half of MotoGP 2011 is quite beyond expectation. World champion Jorge Lorenzo was surprised by the achievement of former team-mate.
Together with his new team Ducati, Rossi still has not achieved satisfactory results. Currently The Doctor is in fifth place standings with 108 points. Italian rider on the podium just once at the French MotoGP.
Jorge Lorenzo who once teamed up with Rossi admitted he was surprised with the results obtained VR46. "I was somewhat surprised with the performance of Valentino. I originally expected him to be in the forefront, at least a podium finish," said Lorenzo quoted from Motorcycle News.
"But until now he was there at the podium just once, and that's because the drivers in front of him crashed. Even riders like Randy de Puniet or Karel Abraham can sometimes be faster than Valentino," continued the Spaniard rider.
One of the things referred to as Rossi's failure to achieve maximum results is that he still has not found a match with Ducati motorcycles. On this, Lorenzo made a comparison between Rossi with Casey Stoner.
"I was also surprised by the appearance of Casey a few years ago with the Ducati. Casey capable of winning races and fighting for the championship title race, while other drivers run into considerable difficulty with the same motor," complete Lorenzo.
Eurosport reported, when using GP11 Rossi recorded the average time was 15 seconds behind the rider in the leading position. Meanwhile, when The Doctor turning to use Demosedici GP 11.1, the difference in time to be getting worse. In the four races he's missed about 30 seconds.
