Yamaha Factory Racing dominates the first MotoGP day at Misano

The team Yamaha Factory Racing is very pleased with this first MotoGP contact with the Misano circuit, as Jorge Lorenzo has been the fastest rider of the first day and it seems the good feelings are returning for the world champion.

Lorenzo and his team have worked very hard to fine-tune the M1, and it seems that after the problems in FP1, they were able to solve them in the second session, setting a time of 1.33.929, the only one to dip under 1.34.

For his part, Ben Spies was one of the fastest in the morning session, but in the afternoon he could not improve his lap times, finally finishing fifth, more than half a second behind his teammate.

Below you can see the statements from Jorge Lorenzo:

I feel much more comfortable with the bike this afternoon, after the changes we have made.

The setting is very similar to Mugello, where I won the race. To be honest, I didn’t expect so much change because we have taken off a full second.

I think we are closer to victory now. Casey and Dani are still fast, but at least now we are there with them.
