Rossi: Ducati has problems to solve

Valentino Rossi says the two-second pace deficit in Friday practice at Catalunya does not represent Ducati's true pace at the Spanish track - but he admits his team have work to do and problems to solve today. The Italian was ninth at the end of yesterday's rain-affected sessions, one place behind his team-mate Nicky Hayden. "This morning we started with the set-up from Le Mans, but we realised that something different was needed for this track; we altered the set-up, but the first changes didn't work," he said afterwards.
