Rossi: We'll make Casey wait.

Tuesday, 18th September 2007

Whilst recognising that it'll take nothing less than a miracle to prevent Casey Stoner winning the 2007 MotoGP World Championship, Valentino Rossi at least intends to delay the Australian's celebrations.
To do so Rossi will need to beat the Ducati
star this weekend at Motegi, a circuit The Doctor has never won at with Yamaha - but the Fiat-backed ace arrives in Japan buoyed by a long awaited return to the top step of the podium last Sunday at Estoril.

"Portugal was a great, great race and it was fantastic to win again after so long," said Rossi. "Now we go straight to Motegi and the motivation and confidence within the team is very high. We know that our rivals are always very strong in Motegi and we expect the same from Stoner this year, but I've never won there with Yamaha so I will be doing my best to change that this week.

"We're not thinking of the championship, we know it's probably out of our reach, but we can do the best we can to try to keep it open for as long as possible and this will be our goal next week. Our top speed is much better with the new engine, our tyres worked well in Portugal and now we hope we have the same situation again in Japan," he added.

First free practice for the Japanese Grand Prix, round 15 of 18, takes place on Friday morning.
