After bad qualifying result yesterday, Rossi told that the team have tried many way to improve the GP12 performance, but it still don't work. Rossi also told that he change his riding style yet, but it's still not enough.
Starting from 13th on today race at Jerez is very bad for him. The main problem is still cornering. After letting off the gas and slowing the bike down, GP12 can't reach maximum lean angle. it means that the GP12 will be very slow on corner, and Rossi will lost much time. So why Nicky Hayden can get a good lap time? Rossi was planned to try hayden's bike setup, but the weather condition on Jerez was not possible. On an interview that released from GPOne.com , Rossi also told that He and Nicky have a very different riding style. If Rossi use the Hayden setup, he will lost front tire rapidly.
Rossi hope for rain today at Jerez race. Rain is a little better for him. But damp track is also worse as dry track. If rain is falling along the race, there is a little good sign for Rossi and his GP12. Starting from behind is not good, and Rossi feel very far from his best form.
