Rossi hoping for Motegi improvements

Valentino Rossi admits Ducati's past form at Motegi is a source of encouragement heading into the weekend, but says the team will split their focus between immediate improvements and long-term gains. Rossi, who only confirmed he would ride in Japan at Aragon, struggled on the new part-aluminium GP11.1 last time out in Spain, equalling his worst finish of the year in tenth. Though the result owed much to tyre wear issues, Rossi was downbeat after the race and says the team will simply have to see if it can improve at Motegi, a circuit Ducati has previously won at four times.
