Well, you're optimistic, but I'm not, and more importantly, he's not!:
http://www.crash.net/motogp/news/177...ve_test.h tml "unfortunately our position is a lot worse ... everything we tried here - especially to fix our biggest problems - didn't work ... now we also have the Monster Yamahas and satellite Hondas in front of us. We are very worried for this reason especially ... I'm too slow on corner entry and I cannot keep the right corner speed. I also have some movement in acceleration ... 0.6sec in the pace is quite a lot ... [Rossi explained that his biggest difficulty is understeer, which forces him to use the brakes too much, sapping his corner speed] ... unfortunately we don't fix nothing ... Unfortunately with this bike I'm not able to go faster and faster, like the guys on the other bikes, and we have to understand why."
Gulp.
