Tredje sejr i træk til Lorenzo

2010-07-05 Jorge Lorenzo fik søndag den store ære at vinde foran sit hjemmepublikum i Barcelona. Den unge spanier kørte fra pole ubesværet til sejr efter at både Dani Pedrosa og Casey Stoner havde kikset indbremsningen til chikanen efter langsiden.



Sådan så Jorge Lorenzo på søndagens sejr:

- This is very special. After losing so closely last year I was happy but not completely so and today I can say I am completely happy, winning here at my home race. It was very difficult today because it was so hot and the front tyre was sliding a lot. I thought I was going to have a big battle with Dovizioso because he was pushing very hard but then he crashed and I was alone; it was lucky for me because then I was able to take it more gently to the finish. I think I rode a clever race today. I am so grateful to my team and to everyone at Yamaha and Bridgestone because they are working so hard to make our bike competitive at every track. I also want to say thank you to all the fans that came to watch today, it is a great feeling for me to win here in front of them all.
