It is quite funny, because the very best memory I have of my entire career, despite what you might think, is the moment I signed with Yamaha. Of course, there is my first world title: I remember one million of feelings, but I cannot tell you even one in detail... The other memory on the "podium" is my 2007 title. I think these are the memories I will take with me until the end of my entire career, as well as the memories I would like to remember for all of my life.

Q:
What's your favourite race track and which is your favourite country to race in?

Jorge Lorenzo:
My favourite track is definitely Assen! I have there won three times and it is also the track that suits my riding style the best. Last, but not least, that circuit is really beautiful! No need to say that the country I love to race in is "my" Spain! Among the Spanish tracks my favourite one is Jerez, because I love to ride there, but Barcelona and Valencia as well are my home tracks and I cannot even think of a championship without those three races.

Everytime I have ridden on a Spanish track has been an unforgettable event for me! It is like being in the middle of an arena and I can always feel the warmth of every single fan that is there. There is nothing like riding in Spain for me!

Q:
How do you like to spend your spare time when you're not racing? What kinds of hobbies and sports do you like?

Jorge Lorenzo:
When I am not riding I like to play videogames, listen to music, surf on the internet and stay with my friends. This is what I normally do when I am at home. Football was one of my passions, but now I have no time to follow matches like I used to do in the past. I am a fan of "Barca", anyway, and sometimes I like to watch their matches on TV, when I am not at a GP. Since I have many Italians in my team, I want to say that I am also a fan of Inter Milan. Finally, together with football, I Iike to play tennis sometimes, which is also useful to keep in shape.

Q:
Can you tell us a little bit about your training regime?

Jorge Lorenzo:
My training regime is very strict, but fortunately I like to work at the gym and I like to be in perfect shape. Normally I train for four hours a day, every day. My daily programme consists of cardiovascular training, stretching, bending, abdominals and some weights. I have a personal trainer who travels with me and the hard work is repaying me a lot... isn't it?!

Q:
What do you think about having the first night race in Qatar?

Jorge Lorenzo:
I think it is a very interesting initiative, very unusual and I am really excited to be there and curious to see what it will be like to ride in the night. I am thinking of the fans that will be there and also of the many people who will watch the race on TV; it will be exciting! The only concern is that on that day, in Spain, there will be a very important political vote, so I hope that this will not affect the quantity of Spanish fans in front of the TV! Anyway, I think it will be great for "todo el mundo!"

Q:
What is your aim for this season? Winning a race? Podiums?

Jorge Lorenzo:
Generally speaking I think that the most important thing is to achieve your goals. 'When' you do that, is less important. Normally people want to 'arrive' immediately, but the most important thing is to arrive at your goals in good health. I do not know whether I will achieve my goals in one or in two years. The only one thing I am sure about is that I will be there, sooner or later, in front of all the others.
