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.

"Valentino was an expert in psychological w💖arfare, until he found riders smarter than him," said Ramon Forcada.

"That's why he had🌃n't won since 2009, because others assimilated certain things f🅠or the first time.

"Valentino was the numbe൲r one strategist and we have seen how many he has mentally destroyed during his career."

Rossi was not, however, the fast𒈔est rider according to Forcada, a long-time crew chief who assisted Andrea Dovizioso 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. 

“Heܫ set the best times on the thirdౠ lap on circuits he didn't know.

"Som🥀e are 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 the final day of the season. They shared an exhilarating year-lo🅘ng battle which is set to resume this season𒁃.

“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 championshipꦜ.

"He found himself alone, with a bike that has not evolved, the same bike as last year, with an engine that does not turn or turns very little, with weak acceleration.🐈 

“And without using all the aerodynamic and levelling systems that Ducati used. Being able to compete in the championship with Pecco is a gr🎐eat merit".
