MotoGP – Preview Misano – Jorge Lorenzo: "I hope to see a great battle!"

Jorge Lorenzo arrives at Misano after his victory in Indianapolis, a victory which, thanks to Valentino Rossi's crash, brought him 25 points behind the leader of the world championship standings. He likes the circuit a lot but he knows that beating Valentino at home won't be easy. He has the microphone.

“Misano is one of the tracks where I've been very fast in the past, so I'm really looking forward to going there in good shape. I won in 2007, the first year we went with the 250cc and last year I wasn't far behind Valentino and I finished second. I'm very happy to have recovered 25 points in just one race, but I know that the title is still very difficult. My first goal is to ride while having fun and try to do the best I can. I hope it can be as good as last year or, even better, even though I know how difficult it is to race in Valentino's house! I hope to see a great battle!”
