Thusday press conf:






















Vale, Dani, I won't mention his name on this sacred place, Nicky and Ben.


In brief, some Vale's words:

When asked about his health condition after Sachsenring and for Laguna's race, Vale said that after last race he felt ok and hadn't extra problems with his shoulder and leg but that for this weekend he still has to wait and see to understand how Laguna will affect his leg due to all the up and downs. He mentioned the corkscrew because it requires power on his right leg while cornering and changing direction and that if it's possible to ride as in Germany he'll be happy.
He enjoyed last race and was happy with his times and overtakes and was suprised with the result , in the way that it came (Stoner knows that better than us, ehehehehe).
Once again Vale was asked about his future and which colours he'd wear in 2011 and he answered laughing: "I said Brno and we are not in Brno, right".





Yamaha's special livery:
Vale's M1 has picutres of 500 fans to celebrate the lauch of FIAT 500 in USA.


And as I've said, 'the lucky me' on it (I'm the one that the red arrow is aiming):




FP1, FP2 and QP

Vale said that his shoulder is hurting a bit and that's the reason why he's having some problems while cornering (he said that it hurts when he needs to brake too hard and that's whey he thinks that Laguna is more difficult than Sachsenring). But he's happy and confident that he can make a good race and fight for the podium because the gap to front row is less than 0.1sec, although he said he could not reach #99 and #27 because they're too fast (lucky they that Vale isn't at 100%). He also said that they've improved the bike's setting and that his leg is ok and he's feeling better than yesterday and is able to run the whole race without pain.







Vale has a new helmet for race day:


It features the faces of his crew, family, friends and heros!

More to come after the race!


Go Vale, go!!!!!!! VR#46 and Team 46!!!

Gi ;)
