MotoGP Barcelona: Lorenzo, “The rider tire combination will be fundamental”

MotoGP GP Catalunya 2017 Barcelona Ducati – Jorge Lorenzo got the front row on the Montmelò circuit in Barcelona, ​​his first time riding the Ducati. The Majorcan knows that tomorrow's race will be very difficult, but he wants to be part of the "game". It would be a dream to win with Ducati in front of your fans and sometimes dreams come true. The word is up to him.

“It will be a very difficult race, it's not like Mugello where you can do the fastest lap at the end of the race. The pace will be a second or slower than at the beginning. The driver rubber combination will be critical for wear. There are more bikes with a chance to win here. If you don't put on a new tire or if he has some difficulty it's easy to keep up. Tires are sometimes good for your bike and other times good for others and it will always be like this as long as tires are so important."

It's your front row with the Ducati and you have a particular feeling with this circuit.

“Since 2004 I have always been on the front row, I am always explosive here and I was also explosive with the Ducati, but the race is tomorrow. Management will be fundamental, our bike with the hard tire has less wear on the right, while the Hondas and Yamahas have this problem. At the rear we are not in a good position and we need to improve. For tomorrow I don't know if I'll be able to compete, it will depend on the tyres."
