MotoGP - Silverstone: Rossi admits he underestimated how fast Petrucci had been going behind Marquez, so when the Honda crashed the sudden drop in his lead from 6s to 3s caught him off guard.
"My mistake was that I relaxed for one lap because I thought I had more advantage."
But 'The Doctor' adds that as the race went on he was aware that his friend Petrucci probably wouldn't want to jeopardise his breakthrough podium with a wild bid for victory so managed to relax a bit.

"It was incredible. I was hoping for the rain because yesterday went so badly and starting from P18 was so difficult.
"When I tried to push and push again, I was behind Pedrosa and Lorenzo. I've never seen tat situation, only on the Playstation. So what should I do?
"It was so difficult to pass them, especially because it was Lorenzo and Pedrosa.
"When I was third, I had the fear about crashing. But then Dovi came. Marquez crashed, and then Valentino was closer and closer. I said 'try to follow Valentino' but it was difficult. I was scared it was too fast because it's not usual to gain on Valentino.
"With two laps to go I saw I'd created a little bit of gap to Dovi. At the last corner I started laughing and thought 'now I'm going to wake up in bed...'"

MotoGP - Silverstone: Rossi on his win:
"Silverstone is already a difficult track with good conditions, and with the "wet, it's more.
"This morning when I woke up and saw the rain, I didn't know if it was good news or not. We didn't have a lot of data from the season on the wet.
"But the work of my team made the diffrence and my Yamaha was fantastic. From the first lap in the warm-up we found a good balance and I could push."
He says that the potential conditions of drizzle on a mostly dry track had been a scary prospect, so he was relieved when the rain increased and the start was delayed.
He'd also been expecting a battle to the last lap with Marquez, so his rival's crash came as a relief.
