MotoGP legend Rossi retired with seven championships in the premier class although none in his final 12 seasons, as the likes of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez took over.

"Valenti💮no was an expert in psychological warfare, u🧜ntil he found riders smarter than him," said Ramon Forcada.

"That's why he hadn't won since 2009, because others assimilated certain things 𒈔for the first time.

"Valenti🐎no was the number one strategist and we have seen how many he has mentally destroyed during his career."

Rossi was not, however, the fastest rider according to Forcada, a long-time crew chief who assisted Andrea Doviz𒈔ioso in 2022.

"The fastest of all was 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Casey Stoner,” Forcada said. 

“He s🍨et the best times on the third lap on circuits he didn't know.

"Some a🤡re immediately very fast because they are already naturally ready, others who need to have everything to be fast."

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia enters 2023 as the reigning champion after pipping 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo on t🌃he final day of the season. They shared an exhilarating year-long battle which ඣis set to resume this season.

“Apart from Pecco who was very fast, 🃏I ⭕don't know if people understood what Fabio did,” Forcada said. “Hats off, even though he didn't win the championship.

"He found himself alone, with a bike that has not evolved, the same bike as last year, with an en🎶gine that does not turn or𓃲 turns very little, with weak acceleration. 

“And without using all the aerodynamic and levelling systems tꦫhat Ducati u🍸sed. Being able to compete in the championship with Pecco is a great merit".
