Rossi hopeful of being fully fit for testing
Ducati rider Valentino Rossi says he will not be fully fit for the start of the 2011 MotoGP season in March.
Rossi, 31, had shoulder surgery in November and, although he expects to take part in testing in February, his recovery has taken longer than thought.
"I count on being in decent form for the first race of the season in Qatar on 20 March and then I'll be 100% in April," said the Italian.
"I hoped to feel a bit better. There is a lot of work to do."
The first testing ahead of the new season will take place in Malaysia at the beginning of February and Rossi added: "It's a great challenge to get in shape for the February tests."
