Rolfo was even more of a gentleman in an interview. He basically said that's racing and that Melandri deserved to win because he was in front most of the time.
Rolfo will win soon. He's a great rider who is now starting to be one with his bike. |

Who? Rolfo?
Last year he was only on a privateer Aprilia, but still managed some wonderful results, including a few podiums and I was thoroughly impressed by his performances last year. I believe for this year he was offered seats at Aprilia and Honda, but seeing how Honda basically domianted with Katoh last year, he took that ride. Also, considering how Aprilia is completely focused on Melandri this year (Harada and Locatelli were also in the factory team last year, now there's only Melandri) Rolfo moving to Honda was probably best for himself. Rolfo hasn't been doing that badly this year anyway. It's taken a while for he and the Honda to gel, but he's been getting good results all year and that first win is just round the corner. |

Rolfo was offered a seat riding the aprilia 4 stroke too, which he declined. And a good move too, he is only young, he has a good attitude and is a great rider
He is in it for the long haul i think. |
