Reigning MotoGP champion Valentino Rossi expects tough battles this season with his team-mate Jorge Lorenzo. The Spaniard will be even more competitive in 2009 Rossi believes.
"I think that Lorenzo will be one of my strongest rivals, because he has an extra year of experience and this year there is also the monotyre, so we will start equal," Rossi said. "He will be a very hard rival to fight."
But the biggest fight will probably be with former champion Casey Stoner. Rossi said: "I think that the number one rival will be Stoner. Pedrosa will also be very fast this year."
