Rossi eager to regain lost crown
By Michele Lostia and Pablo Elizalde Friday, March 7th 2008, 10:28 GMT

羅西渴望取回他失去的冠軍王冠，自去年第一次以非前兩名的
名次結束賽季後，自1996年以來。
Valentino Rossi is eager to regain his world championship
crown after finishing outside the top two for the first time
since 1996 last year.

這位義大利車手，七次世界冠軍，忍耐了令人失望的2007賽季，
被Ducati與Stoner支配比賽的一年，豪取10場比賽勝利者對照
這位山葉車手的四勝。
The Italian rider, a seven-time world champion, endured
a disappointing 2007 season, a year dominated by Ducati
rival Casey Stoner, winner of 10 races to the Yamaha rider's four.

羅西已再次(?)離開 Michelin 轉往使用 Bridgestone 輪胎，
雖然冬測期間看起來似乎還沒有阻止過Stoner。
Rossi has switched from Michelin to Bridgestone tyres
again, although that hasn't stopped Stoner from looking
like the man to beat during winter testing.

Rossi 承認，他不喜歡這樣的賽季開始，但他仍感到興奮刺激
來尋求重回世界頂端。
Rossi admits he will not start the season as favourite, but
he is still motivated to return to the top.

"嗯，這是很好的動機去試著取回那位置(冠軍)，"
Rossi在卡達告訴記者。
”這很難，我有些真的很強硬的對手。
"Well, it's good motivation to try to regain that position,"
Rossi told reporters at Qatar.
"It's hard, I have some really tough rivals.

”事實上，這不是我喜歡的賽道，因為(去年的)結果告訴我，
沒有得到應該得到的，當我去年沒有顯示出最快的速度。
因此試著取回這個角色(冠軍)，試著對抗對手來爭取勝利，將
是美妙的。”
"It's true that I'm not the favourite because the results
say I didn't deserve it as I didn't show the fastest speed
last year.
So it will be nice to try to regain this role and to try to fight
for victory."

他補述： ”我希望，如果我是夠快的，它(冠軍)將不會是個意外。。。
但是可能會有意料之外。
我看到 Dovizioso 和 de Puniet，他倆和Michelin表現的很好，
而舊的本田(07年RC212V)也真的很快。
因此也許它(本站冠軍)會是他們其中之一的。”
He added: "I hope that, if I am quick, it won't be a surprise...
But there could be surprises.
I see Dovizioso and de Puniet very well who with Michelin
and the old Honda went really quick.
So maybe it will be them."

Rossi希望卡達晚上的溫度不會下降的太多，上個月的第一次
卡達測試，就某種程度上證明這是個問題。
Rossi is hoping the temperatures won't drop too much during
the night at Qatar, something the proved to be a problem
during the firsts test there last month.

”溫度在晚上11點下降的有點徹底，但是它從11點到11:45下降的
不會很多，我認為在11點會冷的有點多，那是我們已經見識過的，他說。
"The temperature at 11pm drops quite a bit, but it won't change
much from 11 to 11:45, I think that it will be rather cold at 11
already, that's what we've seen," he said.

”讓我們期待吧，它會變的溫暖些，期待天氣預報吧，因為至少有
15度或16度將會是很重要的，超過上星期的溫度至少3度。”
"Let's hope it's a few degrees warmer, as expected by the
forecast, because it would be important to have at least 15
or 16 degrees, three more than last week."
