Rossi: Wanted center of gravity

The recipe for victory is complicated, but has common ingredients must be mixed carefully, without missing doses, just a small mistake and the soufflé deflates and all that remains is to start all over again. The cooks of the Ducati are continuing to learn at first, convinced they had cooked a delicious meal brought to the table a dish that does not like the demanding diner . Desmosedici Rossi and still do not go well , is like putting mayonnaise on apple pie, but by themselves are great together are ruined each other.
