Friday’s free practice went very well for Jorge Lorenzo at Valencia, feeling all the confidence after last week’s win at Estoril and now riding in front of his home audience and in front the large numbers of his ‘Spartan’ fans and seems to be absolutely bubbly thinking about beating Valentino Rossi’s record for the number of points in one season.
Here’s what the riders had to say after the two practice sessions.
Jorge Lorenzo – 1st“Today was a good day.
We started strongly from the first moment and I am feeling so confident, plus my bike is working very well here.
We need to continue like this tomorrow and make a few small steps forward with our setting.
I am so happy to be riding at home again, in front of the Spanish fans here at Cheste as the World Champion.
I hope we are strong again tomorrow where I have a very special helmet to show everyone!”
