The frustrated Valentino Rossi is clearly losing patience with Ducati's inability to supply him with competitive machinery.
Valentino Rossi has called on Ducati to urgently arrest the under-performance MotoGP program in a bid to end an embarrassing losing streak.
It is message that will also surely reach Ducati's new owners, the Audi car company in Germany.

Rossi's complaint about chronic "undertsteer," which he highlighted three months ago at the Jerez preseason test has still not been addressed.
And his latest message is clearly directed at Filippo Preziosi, the Ducati Corse technical director, who is responsible for the MotoGP program.
