While Marquez walked away with the championship in 2014, Rossi believed he will come back stronger in 2015.
Despite misses most of last year’s winter test due to injury, the reigning double world champ , 22 year old Marquez has yet to reach the peak of his powers. Marques gave Rossi a good run in 2014 that forces Rossi to change his riding style to match Marquez.
Rossi is confident that his 2nd year with crew chief Silvano Galbusera will bring further gains, especially with the debut of the seamless downshift system by Yamaha to match that of Honda.
