'Good as pole' for brave Lorenzo.

Sort Comments:

'Good as pole' for brave Lorenzo.

The Mallorcan, who celebrates his 21st birthday tomorrow, fractured a bone in his left ankle and caused severe trauma to various parts of his right ankle and foot after a spectacular highside just 11 laps into Friday's opening practice session.

If nothing else does that should shut his detractors up a bit.
Yes he's gobby. Sure he grandstands.
But underneath that the kid's got bottle too.
He hasn't got a cat's chance of doing really well tomorrow.
Hope he has wisdom to match his guts and settle for taking points in mid-field rather than going balls out and smacking himself up …. He simply can't be strong enough to ride his usual full-on perforfmance.

In Spain the story will be "how a hurt Jorge can out qualify Dani in just 20 laps time".

Respect. I remember that Puig had to almost force talk Dani on the bike when he had his knee problem. Jorge just thinks about "one thing": "I want to be world champion this year and this is not going to stop me". Just hope he will keep his head cool and finish with a good set of points. If it Rains, he'll have to suffer less...

Yamaha go!!!

That is Lorenzo's, the doctor's and the team's decision.

There are people that crash, fully fit, more often than some might being hurt: if you see what I mean.

Lorenzo has got his head on his shoulders and he knows that he needs to score points BUT he also knows he needs to finish to do so. His coach will surely tell him that too.

We'll see tomorrow... In the mean while: let's race!!!

If the medical commission gave Lorenzo the ok, they as professionals think he's able to race without creating problems for other riders. Hat's off to this rookie, for riding above physical problems and to the great Dr. Claudio Costa and the Clinica Mobile's staff for helping him do it.

Motogp is the real deal and if Jorge has been given the Green light to race then that is a guy who wants to win so much and basically it is tough.He is amazing and always has been.He has a laugh and is a showman,just what we need in Motogp.Rossi was the same many years ago.Jorge is just loving his life and we should all enjoy ours as well.Go Jorge Go.
