Valentino Rossi said Thursday he
was aiming to get his 10th world title in the upcoming season
with Yamaha.
"I like the new bike a lot, I find it very beautiful and
usually the beautiful ones go fast too", said the veteran star,
who turns 38 on February 16.
"The important things is to be competitive," said Rossi.
Asked about new team-mate Maverick Vinales, a Spaniard who
came in for countryman Jorge Lorenzo, he said "he's already very
fast, a bit too fast for my liking, like Jorge was."
The coming season will be Rossi's 22nd world championship.
