Lorenzo suveræn på Silverstone

2010-06-21 Jorge Lorenzo sejrede overlegent i weekendens britiske MotoGP, mens teamkollega Valentino Rossi slikkede sine sår i ro og mag. Andrea Dovizioso blev nummer to og overtog dermed 2.-pladsen i VM-stillingen.




Ingen kunne stoppe Jorge Lorenzo på Silverstone. På sejsskamlen fik spanieren selskab af italieneren Andrea Dovizioso (Honda) og mærkekollegaen Ben Spies, amerikaneren som vandt Superbike-VM sidste år.




Her følger Jorge Lorenzos kommentarer til det britiske MotoGP:

- This was an important day for me and an important win, because I felt so strong and I enjoyed riding my Yamaha so much.

- I had a different feeling today; I felt that it was going to be a good race. It was quite hard to be fast at the start and the first lap with Dani was difficult, but once I got past him I felt very relaxed and comfortable. I thought he would follow me for a bit longer but he didn't and then I was on my own, so I just had to focus on myself; I didn't even know who was behind me! I never dreamt of taking three wins from five races but here we are and I am feeling very strong mentally at this moment.

- I want to thank my team, Yamaha and Bridgestone for this victory. The Beatles celebration was something fun for the fans, I love their music and I thought it was nice to make a homage to them, since we're in England!"
