MotoGP rookie Jorge Lorenzo says his Shanghai accident made him understand the risks associated with the sport, particularly in terms of riding when injured.

"As far as learning the track with this bike is concerned we have seen in the previous two races that this is not an issue for Jorge, particularly at Shanghai, where he effectively only had only one free practice session. Le Mans is traditionally a 'friendly' track for Yamaha, who have had a lot of good results there in the past. We're at the start of an intense period of GP activity and the next few months will be interesting. For us the most important thing is to stay concentrated," he added.

Lorenzo will start the French Grand Prix second in the world championship standings, seven points behind arch-rival Dani Pedrosa.
