Barely dismounted from his official Ducati GP17 after setting the third fastest time in qualifying for the Austrian Grand Prix, Jorge Lorenzo spoke to the site's microphone MotoGP.com.
Congratulations on this performance at the Red Bull Ring. Can you maintain this pace during the race tomorrow?
Jorge Lorenzo : “step by step, in each session, we improved the bike. The grip of the track also improved because of the rubber deposited by the tires, so everyone was faster and faster. But our bike has gradually improved and we are closer to Marc who seems to be the one with the best pace. But we are very close, and if we can improve the braking a little bit tomorrow, we will be even faster. »
