"The start of the race was crazy! The rain wasn't good for us mentally, it was a little scary and it looked like it might get worse. Anyway I just carried on and really I can't remember the details of exactly what happened... I remember making my pass on Valentino; I know it was quite a risk so I'm sorry to him but at that point I felt that I could make it and get away from him, so I took the chance and it worked.
"I'm so proud of everyone, to be here after just three races and at the top of the championship as well is something that I could never have even dreamed of. We didn't expect this, we thought I'd be sixth or seventh after three races, but we have to be careful because Valentino and Pedrosa are both very fast and very clever riders.
"Tomorrow I will undergo an operation on my arm pump, but for now I will celebrate as if it was the last day on earth!" concluded Jorge.
"This is a dream come true for all of us; Jorge rode an unbelievable race," added team manager Daniele Romagnoli. "Watching him fight with the others it was impossible to believe that it is only his third race and now here he is, already a winner!
"We had planned a test tomorrow but this will depend on the decision about Jorge's operation. There are three weeks until the next race so there is plenty of time for him to recover if he chooses to go ahead with it. Now we're looking forward to another exciting weekend with Jorge in China!" smiled the Italian.
Update: Lorenzo underwent an operation to help cure his arm-pump on Monday afternoon.
