Spies and Lorenzo go for the Mugello MotoGP race

The Yamaha Factory Racing riders arrive at the ninth round of the MotoGP World Championship at the Mugello circuit, where the third round of this consecutive run of races before the Championship’s big summer break will be held, so let’s go for the Italian round.

For Jorge Lorenzo it will be another new test after his good result at the Sachsenring Circuit, where the Honda were unbeatable, but where he finished with a great second place and recovered the ground lost after the incident at Assen. Without a doubt he arrives with high morale, eager for action and to get back on his Yamaha M1.

In addition, the Mugello track is one of the favourites for the 99, where he has won in the 250cc class, taken second place in MotoGP in 2009 and 2010, and claimed his first victory of last season, 2011, one of his great joys after starting a difficult year defending his title.

For his part, Ben Spies arrives at Mugello a year older, since today is the 11 birthday, so many happy returns to him. He will surely try to be at the top of the podium, although it will be difficult; it is clear that he is gradually taking steps forward with the M1. He has to get his act together because all eyes are on him and his current performance.

Statements from Jorge Lorenzo:

After two difficult races we arrive at Mugello, where we achieved a great victory last year. I love this track, it is one of the fastest and it should suit our bike well.

I am happy with the lead in the Championship, but there are still many races to go; our goal is again to fight for the podium and the victory if possible.
