Jorge Lorenzo MotoGP 2016 Press Conference Aragon Yamaha Movistar – Jorge Lorenzo responded to various questions during the press conference on Thursday in Aragon, including the one about the overtaking he suffered at Misano, an overtaking carried out by Valentino Rossi, which he said was too aggressive. After watching it several times, the Majorcan "reinforced" his opinion of him, defining the Pesaro man's maneuver as too "harsh".

“After reviewing the images I strengthened my opinion. I have the same opinion as after the race, I couldn't see his trajectory from the bike, it was too aggressive an overtaking.”

How is your relationship with Valentino Rossi now?

“After the accusations made in Sepang (2015, dnr) the relationship does not exist. I don't know what will happen in the future, but that's how things are right now. We are teammates, we both work to improve the bike, but it ends here.”

Lorenzo seems resigned to the fight for second place in the world championship, here's what he said about it.

“Second place is much less important than winning the title, but between now and the end of the championship I will try to win as many races as possible. Obviously finishing second is better than third, we will try to win races and finish second.”
