The past weekend Jorge Lorenzo’s official Fan club held the first edition of the TT Offroad Experience at the Montmelo circuit in Barcelona ahead of the start of the 2012 MotoGP season.
More than 200 people showed up for the event with 50 Spartans (as Lorenzo’s fans call themselves) and leading Spanish motorcycle journalists taking part in free practices and the qualifying heats, with the fourteen best riders facing off against the 2010 World champion in the main event, and Lorenzo won the race riding a 125cc Yamaha TTR beating amonst others Javi Garcia Vico, a former Spanish motocross champion.
Lorenzo later handed out trophys to the partecipants and there was also a barbecue for fans and the press and he Garcia Vico also delighted everyone with these donuts.
Too bad we don’t see MotoGP riders having this type of fun of late, because those scanty 21 liters of fuel leave the GP machines sucking on fumes at the end of race and they don’t want to be towed back to the parc fermé.
