"I'm very proud to be here in the colours of my team. I was there in Rome for the final and watching Barca win was like a dream!" said Lorenzo, who has won two of the five races so far this season.

"I'm so happy to be able to show my support for them in this way at our home track, and I hope the fans will like it because I know many of them are also big Barcelona fans!" added the #99.

Lorenzo, who will start round six just four points behind world championship leader Casey Stoner, was ruled out of his 2008 home event by a practice crash.
