Wednesday 27 May 2009 | | Rossi | | | | VALENTINO ROSSI has admitted that he is feeling the pressure going into this weekend's MotoGP round at Mugello.
The eight-time world champion said: "Racing at Mugello is something incredible for me, but every year it gets more difficult to keep my record going and seven wins in a row is already a lot! I do feel pressure going there, but at the same time it is always amazing and the fans give me an extra motivation that helps me to perform in a different way there. I hope it's the same again this year, because after Le Mans I really need a good result! It was disappointing but everyone has the occasional bad day and that was ours. Everything possible went wrong but hopefully that is all our bad luck for now and this time, at our home race, we will be back to our best. I always look forward to this race; it's very busy for me but I have so many amazing memories. Let's hope to create some more this weekend.”
But his on-form team-mate Jorge Lorenzo can't wait to get back out on track in front of the hugely exciteable Italian crowd. He added: "“Mugello is, along with Phillip Island, the most beautiful circuit that we race at; I love it! Plus I am feeling very confident after our good race in Le Mans. We have had some very strange races with the weather conditions and I would never have expected to recover 24 points in one go. Now we arrive in Italy (where the weather I hope will be better) as leaders, but the most important thing is that I am confident and feeling fit. Last year was not easy for me; I already had problems with my ankles and then I crashed when trying to pass Andrea Dovizioso. Mugello and Montmeló were horrible for me and finished that period of the season having taken no points. This year, just to take some points at this track and at Catalunya will be an improvement and that's my aim."

| | | | | | | | Sylivian Guintoli Crash !! | | | | WORX SUZUKI rider Sylivian Guintoli could be out of action for several months, due to injuries sustained in the sighting lap crash at Donington Park during last weekend's British Superbikes.
Initial reports suggested that Guintoli would be out of action for the next two months, but fresh news from the team this morning say that although yesterday's operation was successful another operation to further set the bones may be required today (Wednesday). The resultant recovery time could be much longer than was first thought.
Worx Crescent Suzuki team owner Paul Denning said: “The events of Donington Park are a massive disappointment for everyone involved with the Worx Crescent Suzuki team, as well as a blow for the BSB series as a whole. Risks are always involved, but when your rider is as talented and consistent as Sylvain and then something like this happens - which is totally beyond his control and outside of a racing situation, through the apparent incompetence of another competitor - it's difficult to accept.
“I was lucky enough to be at Donington Park over the weekend and was massively impressed by the team and Sylvain's combined professionalism. His final qualifying performance and that again of the Monday warm-up showed he was looking to achieve a double win, which I believe he would have achieved. Our thoughts are with Sylvain and his family and we will be doing everything we can to help him in his recovery. I can report he is in good spirits, as always.
“Looking forward, while the championship is now beyond us, we are determined to continue to demonstrate what a fantastic bike the Suzuki GSX-R1000K9 is. While our primary thoughts are with Sylvain, we look forward to continuing and building on his impressive early season performances.”
