不知道再來的車身塗裝會怎麼變哩~~~~~皮衣車廠LOGO已經換成YAMAHA了
Rossi enters a new era with Yamaha debut in Sepang
After a wait of over two months since the end of the 2003 season,
and a further hour for photo-calls for the amassed media throng
this morning, MotoGP World Champion Valentino Rossi finally opened
the throttle for the first time on the Yamaha YZR-M1 motorcycle,
as the 24 year-old Italian begins a new era of his already illustrious
career. The flamboyant star has won the MotoGP World Champions
hip for the past three years on board a Honda, dominating his opponents
during that time. However, having made the decision to leave the Honda
factory to pursue a new challenge, he now finds himself as the spearhead
for their traditional rivals, Yamaha.
After his first test-day on board his new bike at the Sepang circuit in
Malaysia, Rossi was already top of the time sheets and revealed that he
was happy with both his and the bike’s performance. ”This is obviously
a very important move for me, and I was very excited before getting on
the bike,” said Rossi. “My first impressions are quite good. You have
some ideas about the other bikes when you run with them on the circuit
and, sincerely, I expected more big problems, but more or less the bike
is okay. It has some things less than Honda, but also some good, and it
is basically not so bad.”
Rossi's Crew Chief Jerry Burgess, who made the switch with him from
Honda after 20 years with the Japanese factory, commented: "We didn't
really do much more than get him familiar with the bike. It takes a
while to get eye co-ordination back after a long lay-off and we just
made minor refinements to deliver what Valentino wants from the bike.
What we're looking for is information to work out the direction we need
to go in - and we're all working together in that.
"
Rossi and his team-mate Carlos Checa were joined by Yamaha colleagues
Marco Melandri and Norick Abe today as the teams and bikes were unveiled
for the first time. Melandri and Abe will ride for the Fortuna Gauloises
Tech 3 Team, the privately-owned French team run by Herve Poncharal, all
running the latest spec Yamaha YZR-M1. All four riders spent the whole day
getting comfortable on their machines, with temperatures lower than usual
due to a light breeze and the cloud cover over the region. All were pleased
with the first day back in the saddle, although Melandri complained of
soreness after undergoing a shoulder operation in the winter.
"I've spent almost 100 days without riding," said the Italian. "But my
shoulder should loosen up tomorrow and I will improve. Even so I was a
tenth of a second faster than my best race lap here last year."
The Yamaha tests continue for two more days at the Sepang circuit.

可憐的ROSSI因為和本田合約關係，從比賽結束後整整有近100天沒能騎車~~~~~
