Rossi determined to build on winning form

Rossi determined to build on winning form

27 May 2008

Back-to-back successes in the last two rounds of this season mean that for the first time in over a year Rossi leads the World Championship, although just three points separate him from team-mate Jorge Lorenzo, who is tied on points with Dani Pedrosa.

"Le Mans was fantastic and I am still feeling very happy when I think about it!" exclaimed Rossi. "We had a good test afterwards and did a lot of hard work with Bridgestone and on the general setting of our bike, so hopefully we have been able to improve our package even further. Everyone knows that Mugello is one of my favourite tracks; I've won there six times in a row and now I want to make it seven! It's my home race and also the home race for a lot of our team and to race there is always something very special. It's fast and technical and we know it suits our bike so we will be aiming to be quick right from Friday morning. I hope the weather is good - for us and for all the fans - and then hopefully we can have a big Italian party!"
