I can't ride this bike, I can't make the difference, I can't even keep up with Hayden's pace, who I used to go quick against in comparison. In theory, with new tyres I should go quicker. Nicky managed to do a good race with the other works Ducati, but he still ended up only sixth.
This result is not better than what ducati did in Jerez. At that moment, Rossi is targeting to fight on 6th place. But now, Rossi think to used better obejectives. Rossi also says that this year is worse than 2011. Even comparing to the other Ducati, Hayden and Barbera, Rossi still can't ride the GP12.
Speaking about the race against Barbera, Rossi says that he try to be professional. A moment after Barbera took Rossi out to gravel, Rossi thought to return to the pit.

I tried to be a professional. When Barbera pushed me out I even considered returning to the pits, but then I stayed out in order to give our technicians some data to study so as to improve things.
