Jorge Lorenzo also dominated the French MotoGP. Do you say to openly challenge the quoted leading rider of the modern era Valentino Rossi?
For 12 rounds the Spaniard followed the Italian Valentino, at a discreet pace, following his weaknesses and points that could overtake him. It did not take long to do it, and for the rest of the 16 rounds he was just trained, since even the difference of more than 5 seconds proves it. This is also 7η his victory in the big GP category.
Lorenzo, who has lost only five points since the beginning of the year, said: "We finally made a good start, without this saying that this problem has now been solved. It's just very important for me to take the second-place win, for the first time. I feel that this year I have more confidence and I have learned to speak less and to run better. "
«I learned to be patient and wait for not to cause my own or someone else's fall. I was trying to be close to Valentino and to take advantage of a mistake, but at first it was very fast, but not as much as I did, in a few turns. He had a very strong acceleration, stability on the brakes and I did not expect to get any difference after I overcame him. Not I expected that will he stayed back my for 6 seconds. He was hopeless. "
With 9 points difference, it's reasonable to be happy with the 23-old Spaniard.
The 9 times champion, now, Valentino Rossi, said weak to win Lorenzo. He made a lonely fight in second place with Pedrosa, until Andrea Dovizioso and Nicky Hayden passed him by half a lap. Of course, he had a cause that was not his wounded shoulder. Besides, a few hours before the race he had declared that if he did not go to the tenth round it would be a miracle. In 15ο and 16ο This became apparent when Rossi lost three full seconds in his round. «Even though I did a good start, I could not stay close George and my bike made this clear. Something my shoulder, something set up for accelerating, did not let me stay near GeorgeI knew I would not be able to take first for 28 rounds so I went over Lorenzo).
Previously, with other motorcycles and other tires, you could invent something during the race and win. Now, the only sure thing is that if you do not have the right pace from the beginning, you will just fall by trying. Therefore, the 20 grades of the second place are not bad. We still have a lot of championship yet.
What I did not expect, however, is to compete only with it George. I hope in a while (Casey) Stoner And the Dani (Pedrosa) to be closer. It seems to be another performance for a role, Yamaha ... "
Andrea Dovizioso was in the mad joy after the fight after he managed to take revenge from his teammate and take him third in his hands. (Let's not forget that last year Dovi lost third place in the thread by Pedrosa, which covered a difference of 12 seconds!) This year, Dovizioso had a series of festivities in front of 82000 spectators at the Le Mans circuit. Since Casey Stoner has fallen, the Italian has "shuffled" 4η position and waited at the last moment to make his move. With Pedrosa struggling with his rear brake, Dovi thrashed the RC212V factory, and passed Pedrosa to the first chicane of the last round. The unsuccessful Spaniard to fight back, lost his fourth place to Nicky Hayden.
«I'm very happy because the team needed it podium, but also because I do not forget what he did to me last year Dani. Everybody knows that Dani is amazing at the start, and it was very difficult to get it on the brakes. It was the same Nicky very close, so I decided very quickly what to do. It's a perfect start for 2010, since I can not even find the bike as I want it, but the positions are coming. We are not fighting for the first, but this moment is getting closer.»
Dovizoso, who ran with the new Jerez box, said that Honda still has a long way to reach Yamaha and added: "We have changed a lot since last year but also in the first three races, but again the situation has not changed. What we need is bam to something innovative, but it's hard to happen in the year. So just try for the best "
