Rossi pays Katja a compliment.
The man of the moment, Valentino Rossi, praised the efforts German girl racer Katja Poensgen, after she qualified for her opening 250 Grand Prix.
"To come into the MotoGP 250 Championship and qualify for her opening two races was a very good performance especially as she had never competed in that level of competition before," said Rossi, who won the opening two MotoGP 500 races." Also the Aprilia bike is not the easiest to ride and is very difficult to set-up. She's done very well."

The Dark Dog Racing Factory Team brought the busy Jerez paddock to a halt on Friday evening when they presented Katja with a Grid Boy (pictured) to accompany her team-mate Alex Hofmann's Grid Girl.
Both boy and girl had the top half of their bodies adorned with body painting and for once there was as much interest from the female population of the paddock as there was male for such photographic opportunities.
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
