Jorge Lorenzo: “ I'm two seconds from the first and that's not what I want«
“It’s a complicated circuit” still analyzes the old MotoGP Jorge Lorenzo, who are " especially because of many very strong braking points. You shift from sixth to first gear, so it takes experience to make the most of the car's potential and braking. Even passing the curbs is not easy, many are high and the car falls violently so it is difficult to use them. But hey, little by little I'm improving and trying new things to go faster. Now I'm two seconds behind the first and that's not what I want, but I think the next track at Imola will be better. And little by little I will be more competitive » he concluded.
Jorge will make his debut in his first race for Enzo and Dino Ferrari at Imola, the same circuit where Red et Pedrosa raced in different categories a few weeks ago. The meeting is for the weekend of May 7 and 8.
