Rossi Bandingkan Laju Dirinya dengan Stoner di Ducati

Valentino Rossi menganggap faktor motor sebagai penyebab dia belum bisa tampil bagus bersama Ducati. Lalu, kenapa Casey Stoner bisa menaklukkan Desmosedici dan jadi juara dunia?

"Dia (Stoner) punya gaya membalap yang sangat aneh dan dia juga masih muda pada tahun 2007, jadi lebih mudah baginya untuk beradaptasi dengan Ducati," komentar Rossi di Autosport.
