MotoGP – Losail Day 1 – Some problems for Jorge Lorenzo

On the track where he won twice in 250cc and where he made his debut last year with second position and pole position in MotoGP, Jorge Lorenzo began the weekend in Losail with the fourth fastest time, behind Stoner and his teammate's other two Yamahas. team Valentino Rossi and Colin Edwards. The rider from Mallorca had some small set-up problems with his YZR M1, but despite the little time available together with his team he managed to resolve them and thus be able to be confident when thinking about tomorrow's qualifying.

“Today we had some problems, especially when braking where I didn't have great confidence with the front”, says Jorge Lorenzo. “Apart from this we are okay, the track was very dirty and therefore it was difficult in this first session of testing to go 100%, thinking that tomorrow will be better. In the 45 minutes of testing, which for me are not enough to lap and I don't understand the reason for this change, we still managed to make excellent progress so I am confident ahead of tomorrow where I am convinced that we will do better".
