Jorge Lorenzo will use the new Yamaha engine at Indy

Rider Jorge Lorenzo will use the new engine in his Yamaha M1 at the Indianapolis Grand Prix. He will no doubt give his all to reduce the 32-point gap he currently has to Casey Stoner, and his bike will also be a force to be reckoned with at the following rounds.

Lorenzo tested this new engine at the MotoGP test at the Brno circuit last Monday. It seems the feeling was positive, and they have decided to bet on this innovation at Indy.

The Mallorcan managed to set a 1:56.727 with the improved engine, which has proven to offer more acceleration and top speed, so it could be a great help in his fight to close the gap to the category leader, Stoner.

The rider commented:

It’s a small difference, but we will certainly use this engine at Indy. It seems a little better in top speed, but it’s not clearly much better.

Still, it’s good to have something extra, more than we had, and it will be the engine we use in the upcoming races.
