Yamaha 'watching Lorenzo carefully'.

Friday, 8th February 2008

"I'm watching Jorge very carefully. I would like to keep his preference for riding position, but if it is impossible then I will ask him to change his riding style" - Masao Furusawa.

"Colin has had no complaints about the front of the bike, and he is using the same tyres as Jorge. So today [Thursday] I gave Jorge Colin's bike set-up to try, but he is still struggling," Furusawa explained.

"We still have enough time before the start of the season, but maybe at the next test we will have to decide which way to go.

"For us it is easiest to give Jorge the bike and say 'please change your riding position', but I have respect for Jorge's style because he is the 250cc champion," Furusawa concluded.
