Rossi struggles in the wet
29 June 2007 / Results / PhotosValentino Rossi had a difficult qualifying session in Assen today. The Italian spent most of the session in the bottom half of the order as he searched for the right set-up and tyre combination for the difficult conditions.
Valentino Rossi said: "For sure today in the wet we had some problems and the fourth row is not great! Of course in order to fight for the victory here I would prefer to be nearer the front, as to win from the fourth row is quite hard! We've given ourselves a difficult job to do and now I will need to do a perfect race, with no mistakes from start to finish, in order to come back towards the front."
He furthermore said: "I'm quite sad about the weather because I think from the front row I would definitely have been in a position to try to win tomorrow. As we've proved before however, we know that it's not impossible to make a good race from the fourth row! We need to make the right tyre choice and we need to make a good start, because it's not so easy to pass people here. Our pace in the dry this morning was good and luckily we're expecting better weather. We'll do our best and see how we go."
