MotoGP | Galbusera: "Rossi will wait for the new bike before deciding" – Moto

The Valencia race will close not only the 2019 MotoGP season, but also the collaboration within the Yamaha box between Valentino Rossi is Silvano Galbusera. The nine-time world champion of Tavullia had chosen the Italian technician at the end of the historic relationship with Jeremy Burgess in 2014, immediately finding an excellent understanding.

Interviewed by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Galbusera spoke about the current situation of the Doctor, plagued by results that are certainly not exciting this year: "I don't think Rossi has changed during the season. The results maybe yes, but the rest is the same, from work inside the box to routine – explains the Italian head technician – First it seemed that the bike was not so competitive, but then Quartararo arrived and showed that you can drive in a certain way and get results. However, we cannot question that our bike is a little slower and that Valentino has more problems with the tires and I don't know if this depends on his driving style. He's trying to work on this. "

"The qualification was never his workhorse, but on some occasions, like Silverstone, it didn't hurt – added Galbusera – What is certain is that in strange conditions it does not take excessive risks, which instead makes a younger driver. Beyond this, if the results are lacking, it is clear that the motivations are falling, but when it comes to fighting for the positions that matter, Valentino is there. Battling for an eighth or a second is different, the commitment adjusts ".

The roads of Rossi and Galbusera, as mentioned, they will separate after the Valencia race: "I think he wants to try anything to find motivation. I don't know who will come, I don't know how it will work, I don't know anything, but it's a way to change something, in addition to the bike. Personally I'm not happy with what happened, but I adapt myself. It was however a beautiful parenthesis of my working life, in which I learned a lot of things seeing up close what it means to be an athlete of the level of Valentino ".

"I think that Vale will wait for the new bike before deciding its future. If it will be a step forward and become competitive, I believe it will do 2020 and 2021, then I don't know. Physically I see no problems in him, he lacks nothing. Even in tough races I never saw him fatigued that much " Galbusera concluded.
