Rossi frustrated by testing limits

Valentino Rossi says MotoGP's current testing restrictions have badly hampered Ducati's ability to get back on the pace this year, and described the limited non-grand prix running as 'incredible'. Rossi has only managed one podium finish since joining the Italian team, and his form barely changed even after Ducati brought in a version of its 2012 1000cc bike with a 2011-rules 800cc engine. At present there are only two post-grand prix tests during the racing season, though some teams are pushing for these limits - introduced at the height of the cost-cutting push of 2009 - to be relaxed for 2012
