Rossi happy, but hoped for better pace

Valentino Rossi admitted he had mixed feelings about his third place in the Australian Grand Prix - having thoroughly enjoyed his spectacular dice with Nicky Hayden, but also finishing the race frustrated that he had not been faster. Rossi and Hayden's dice for third was only resolved with a last-lap pass by the Yamaha rider, who had fought through from ninth place early on.
