Catalunya, - Although this trial did not give positive results, but the winner of nine grand prix champion, admits going to try it again in a test at Motorland Aragon.
"We're trying to work more on setting, but ultimately it's the best setup for racing. We change the weight distribution, but I made the best lap time in race setup, so we did not get any really positive.
"We're trying to make a new comparison between old and new front tires. When I use a new race, and in my trials mencaba a long time, and place a small difference, though the new is better. So, it's the right decision from the race .
"Aragon will be an important test for us, because last year my performance's very bad there. So this will be very important to understand if we can be faster."
Valentino Rossi claimed a loss to explain why the new aluminum swing arm that tested at Mugello problematic when used in Catalunya. According to him, the same swing arm that just made a big thrill when tested in Catalunya, on Monday (06/04/2012).
When testing at Mugello, Rossi was a new swing arm provides excellent grip when entering corners. But the first day of free practice at Catalunya GP, Friday (06/01/2012), the vibration caused a very large, so that "The Doctor" has finally decided to re-use of carbon fiber swing arm.
But not here, so it depends on the track. Perhaps the material is good, but we have made some small modifications on the swing arm.- Valentino Rossi
Well, the day after the Catalunya GP, Rossi attempted to evaluate the longer aluminum swing arm is in a post-race test at Catalunya. Apparently, again the same vibration is felt, which makes the performance of the Desmosedici GP12, especially when entering a corner, very bad.
Rossi, who finished at No. 11 in the test told MCN: "We tried aluminum swing arm, but I am having a great thrill at the front, so it's worse than carbon, and we had to try it again in Aragon. In terms of acceleration, it helps us with the grip, but with the vibration, it may not be used. When I turn the corner and a maximum take off the brake, the vibration is very large, so I had to slow down. "
But the seven-time MotoGP world champion was unable to explain why the swing arm can work well while testing at Mugello. In fact, the setting's pretty good.
"It's a good question, because at Mugello we have a setting that is not bad, and we use a swing arm, and I was a little faster, then we made some adjustments and the results are positive as I can be better in two or three areas with no problems , "said Rossi answered questions about the emergence of such contradictions."But not here, so it depends on the track. Perhaps the material is good, but we have made some small modifications on the swing arm."
