For Jorge Lorenzo, the Brno race was disappointing just reading the final result, but encouraging in a general progress which made him discover all the benefits of the new fairing which his GP17 has been fitted with. Good feelings which were confirmed the day after the Czech Republic Grand Prix. Completing 55 laps of the same Brno track covered during the weekend, Por Fuera proclaimed to anyone who would listen that this test day had undoubtedly been the most important of all those experienced this year.
He is a convinced and reassured Majorcan who is heading towards an Austrian Grand Prix which will brighten up our weekend. Last year, the Spielberg route saw a resounding Ducati double, the same red rockets that are expected in Styria, but without the fins this time. However, the Italian machines seem to have regained their wings thanks to a new fairing.
Or rather two fairings. Petrucci has one and Lorenzo another and the latter is delighted with his new accessory. He finished fourth in the Brno tests, 0.380 seconds behind the best time. Not so bad then and it is the same optimism that emerges from his analysis of the situation: “ it was arguably the most important day of this entire year. I have very good feelings with the bike and I am really satisfied ».
« We were competitive during the Grand Prix, but we were even more efficient this time. Of course, it is true that the track was also more efficient, but we found settings that suit my driving style better, which allow me to attack more and be faster ».
« My feeling with the new fairing is very good because it gives me more confidence in the front of the bike ". In short, everything he was missing until then. SO, Lorenzo the return ? Answer, from this weekend…
