Not only Stoner wants to win and gain many championship points in next weekend’s MotoGP round at Misano.
Valentino Rossi wants to make up his disappointing breakdown in last year’s home GP.
Rossi, leading the championship with 50 points over Stoner said: “Last year the race was a huge disappointment for us, a very low point of the season and especially because it happened in front of my home fans.
But this time things are different; we’ve had two fantastic races in a row and we are feeling very strong and very confident.
”Misano is very close to Valentino’s hometown “Tavullia” and he’s expecting lots of fans at Misano.
We hope the weather conditions will be good after last year’s rainfall.
