Despite the “law of silence” imposed by Yamaha, which prohibits Jorge Lorenzo from speaking about the Ducati he tested in Valencia, the Majorcan rider released a few sentences in front of the press gathered at a promotional evening organized by the Chinese mobile manufacturer Zopo, one of the personal sponsors of number 99.
Excerpts…
Jorge Lorenzo: “I would like to say something already, but I cannot say anything yet. I can only tell you that I am content and happy. But it will take a lot of work. I don’t know how the others are, I know what I found and where we can make a more complete motorcycle.”
“We all know Maverick is a great driver, but for him to finish first on both days, I think it surprised everyone. The Yamaha is a very complete bike, and in Valencia, with an asphalt that adheres well, with the Michelins, Maverick very quickly got to grips with it and surprised both in terms of his time and his very rapid adaptation. But also, Zarco and Folger surprised. These are the three surprises.”
