Valentino Rossi raised the roof at the Sachsenring MotoGP press conference on Sunday evening after being asked whether he thought Marc Marquez would be competitive at this weekend's Laguna Seca round.

"Laguna is very easy to learn," joked Rossi. "I expect this fucking bastard to be fast. Laguna is a strange track and very particular but I am sure Marc will be fast. For him, one weekend is enough for be competitive."
