<{POST_SNAPBACK}><div class='quotemain'>Rossi is racing in his backyard, he must assert his (supposed) superiority here. I believe in the rest of the races Rossi is going to be thinking in the championship securing points, but not tomorrow, at home, in front of all his fans, he MUST win.
We'll see if Lorenzo is quick enough and smart enough to exploit this situation.
Perhaps his back yard, but Missano had not been raced at for 12 or so years, and with current MotoGP bikes Rossi has raced the same as almost everyone else. As much as Hayden in his ‘Second’ Home track Indianapolis, I’ve heard most commenting that’s not a real advantage as everyone knows the track the same (even Kallio as a Rookie alleging Hayden did not really race with a MotoGP one more year bike because of the Hurracane).
