Jorge Lorenzo has therefore indeed found his Yamaha which he had abandoned for three seasons for infidelities with Ducati and Honda which were much less successful for him. After a single day of testing which was also that of a general recovery on a MotoGP, the Majorcan signed an honorable 2'00.563 which he will have the opportunity to improve in the coming days on the same Sepang track. Because the Mallorcan will have IRTA tests, even if its program will be reduced. And here’s why…
Jorge Lorenzo has returned home and it is struck with three tuning forks. Since his departure, things have changed at Yamaha , but there are also some familiar faces.

A little because he had to realize where we are, but also because the reality is that there is no test team: when will Lorenzo try in Europe , a team from Japan will come. Only Silvano Galbusera will be added » says the Italian on GP One.
For his part, Por Fuera spoke with Dorna to give his first feeling: “ the characteristics of the motorcycle are always the same. It has many strong points, some weak points that we have already analyzed to try to resolve in the future. I also saw that the bike remains docile, with a light engine for the rider, it is not very physical, It's an ideal bike for my riding style.. " To be continued…
