Rossi impressed with Schumachers times on the Ducati MotoGP bike

Multiple MotoGP champion Valentino Rossi has said he was impressed seeing Michael Schumacher testing with the Ducati MotoGP team at Valencia at the start of November. Schumacher was only five seconds of the pace set by pole position man Dani Pedrosa.

Rossi said about Schumacher’s test in Valencia with Ducati: “I was told he completed his laps in 1,37’s which is unbelievable. He was really fast. If Schumacher was a bit younger he could have tried a career move into MotoGP I’d say!”

  3. I’m pretty sure Rossi was putting in respectable lap times in the Ferrari? I may be wrong :)

    It just goes to show though, if you’re fast it doesn’t what you drive/ride you will still be fast.
