Under a blazing sun and a temperature of 38 ° C (!), Jorge Lorenzo signed the third pole position of his second season in MotoGP this afternoon in Barcelona. Without complex and with panache, the 21-year-old Yamaha rider beats his illustrious teammate, Valentino Rossi, by just 0.013 seconds !
Under a blazing sun and a temperature of 38 ° C (!), Jorge Lorenzo signed the third pole position of his second season in MotoGP this afternoon in Barcelona. Without complex and with panache, the 21-year-old Yamaha rider beats his illustrious teammate, Valentino Rossi, by just 0.013 seconds !
The performance of the Mallorcan is all the more weighty as it intervenes in front of his audience, who showed their joy and admiration for the new Spanish MotoGP prodigy during his lap of honor! Fast since the start of the tests, Valentino Rossi fought to the end against his stable "mate" and the Australian Casey Stoner, but the Doc failed with a breath in the face of the final blow of the collar given by Lorenzo at the end of the session !
A beautiful fight in perspective…
“The session this afternoon was excellent with a great battle and I was always fast,” analyzes the Italian star. “We made some changes, improved our settings, progressing step by step, but in the end I I was just a little slower than Lorenzo. We are nevertheless very close and I am happy because I think we are going to have a good battle for the race ", predicts Rossi..
Casey Stoner completes a first row formed by the top 3 of the general classification. The Australian, however, is half a second behind Lorenzo and does not seem quite comfortable with the parts and the new injection mappings brought by Ducati this weekend … Andrea Dovizioso, who misses the first line for only 0.168 seconds, will start alongside the unexpected Toni Elias, the American Colin Edwards – victim of a fall at the end of the session – and Randy de Puniet.
The other local hero of the event, Dani Pedrosa, will start from eighth place after also falling in the last moments of the session. The Catalan pilot, fallen – once again! – on his right hip injury, will approach his national Grand Prix physically diminished and certainly not very confident with his Honda RCV … Stay tuned !
