This weekend, we're celebrating the end of the championship, of course, but also the 10th anniversary of Jorge Lorenzo's last world title, one of the greatest legends in the history of the sport. The Spaniard overcame Valentino Rossi in a nail-biting race, during which the Italian started from last place due to his action against Marc Marquez at Sepang two weeks earlier. Lorenzo, when asked about this memory, retains excellent recollections of it.
This is undoubtedly one of the most memorable races of all time. Jorge Lorenzo led the race from pole position, ahead of Marc Marquez and Dani Pedrosa, while Valentino Rossi gave his all to move up the field. « I can't believe ten years have passed.I feel like it's only been two or three years. So many memories! I was extremely focusedI was very strong physically and I knew I was going to make it. So, I tried to make sure that nothing was out of my control, that everything was going well. we read in the columns of crash.net.
Lorenzo wanted to leave nothing to chance, and knew that against dangerous opponents, it was absolutely necessary to start from the front and try to escape, his trademark. « I knew I had to achieve the best qualifications of my life, and I did."So I paid very close attention to my mechanics to ensure the motorcycle was perfect and that there were no mistakes." he continued.
He still had to win! He did so by maintaining control of the race, even though Dani Pedrosa sometimes looked threatening. « I knew I had to be perfect in the race, and I was.So I didn't fail, I didn't make any mistakes. The pressure from Honda was intense, but I knew I couldn't fail" he concluded.
