Reigning MotoGP World Champion Valentino Rossi will carry out a race-length simulation test at Sepang tomorrow on the final day of the official MotoGP tests – the first one on Bridgestone rubber.
Rossi, who is still suffering slightly from his coffee table accident, isn't physically able to do a full race distance but hopes to carry it out tomorrow, even if it is in two parts.
"Today I did not do the long run; I will do it tomorrow if my physical condition allows it. I may have to do it in two parts, so that it won’t put too much stress on my stitches," said The Doctor.
It will be interesting to do the long run with the new tyres, but I am not expecting it to be so much slower than last year. Today we tested some new electronic solutions in order to allow me to open the throttle earlier and they were not bad at all, but we still need to work to improve it even more. This afternoon the stitches hurt me a bit, but my pace was still very good so I am happy."
