MOTOGP WORLD: Interview with Jorge Lorenzo


The Jorge Lorenzo is the guide that will show all time # 1 for next year

Interview by Dimitris Diatsidi at Misano, which was published with several more photos in issue # 22 magazine MOTOGP WORLD

The debate started from the topic being discussed more in the paddock at this time: the speed and power of the Honda. "At this stage of the championship a little difficulty, while Pedrosa is in the best condition, so although the difference is quite large, we have to wait a few matches to see what happens," says Lorenzo. After continuing the theme that the Yamaha has used several engines that Honda has more "fresh." The interlocutor is both very cool: "I am concerned about both the number of engines. It is true that Honda engines last longer, but we too did well the first 12 races, won a big difference and now we must think about the championship, "he said of course that is right in the title race is superior to the M1 start was universal. "Sure we can to end the follow-up to third position to take. But this is not our goal. We try to win races until the end of the Championship, "he said and meant that he did not like the strategies. Besides the last three years that follow the path of a close, we have seen the look of everything thirst for victory.

To change the climate of talk about Jorge, as a person. In this crazy world final, the horsepower, the money, it seems that sofrology helps him to be and appear calm. How exactly does this in mind? "Meditation or sofrology helps me to be absolutely quiet when for example I have a lot of work, or when the results are not good as you want. Then sit in a chair, close my eyes for 15 or 20 minutes, almost like sleep, but sleep and just concentrate on my breathing. In this way after 20 minutes I'm "fresh" and I go back to work, "he says of how he has discovered the first year in MotoGP, then he fell several times. Then sofrology (word derived from Greek root) is the science of harmonizing consciousness, helped considerably. This technique was created in 1960 by Alfonso Caycedo nefrofysiatro worked in Spain. Methods Merges East and actual keys of hypnosis. It also incorporates breathing exercises, physical and mental techniques of yoga, Chi Kung and Zen, and has evolved so as a dynamic relaxation. The aim is to strengthen the balance of emotions, thoughts and behavior.

And that appeared last year with all the Jorge Lorenzo managed to reinforce the positive action and to see things more realistically and thus improve the effectiveness of action. An example we have experienced was the calm with which faced the famous passage of Rossi on the last turn of the Montmelo to 2009.

"I think this is a big difference, Jorge 2008, which saw the speed and perspective, and then began to fall and Jorge's 2010 showing calm and able to keeps control over the bike, but his feelings, was Our next question. The answer came quite realistic: "We can say that I was always a very fast driver, from the beginning of my career in MotoGP, because for example in my first race in Qatar got the pole position. So the speed of everything I had, but we can not win the title just as quickly. You have to have other items, you must have patience, stability, control of your mind, experience. So now I'm a more structured guidance and therefore have better results.

He continued: "Certainly it is sometimes difficult to be calm and have patience to finish a race in fourth place or third. Why you really want to win all the matches. But we can not win all the races a championship, because there are tracks that are best for your bike, or have better arrangements, or because you feel more comfortable on this track and then you can win. But there are some other tracks that may be a little worse and there is important is to finish the race, not ecstatic and do something crazy. " He earlier this year said that sometimes fear that swept the competition and may be exaggerated, but ultimately the latest results show that indeed Lorenzo is now mature. And maybe now the word Rossi does not make him so crazy! "This word was my problem, and certainly I could not win any race! Because if you have obsessed with a person concentrates on that person and forget about your job, or what you should do. " So admits that the original goal (and many others) was to beat Rossi. Now this obsession is history!

"I was always a man who did not give any importance, not because I respect them because they are amazing drivers are the best in the world, but why not give nothing to me to think of others. The energy I get from my thinking of how to improve myself, "says Spanish to explain what some see as arrogance.
Improving himself, began last year is faster than Rossi on some tracks. This was a great pleasure for himself: "OK, it's nice to be faster than a driver who has won 7 World Championships in the top division. It is best to win the best drivers in history, but to win the Normal drivers is obvious. But I have to Valentino as a god, as some other drivers in the category have the Valentino as the invincible or something. I came to MotoGP and said: "What should I do to become the best" and I began to discover what to improve. This was difficult because in the beginning I fell several times and wounded several times, but then slowly -



slowly began to understand how this class and how I could become the best. "

Of course, many say that at least the celebration of the copies Valentino and certainly has not done better. The Lorenzo explains how his thinking on the topic: "In my whole life trying to be different from others because it is very boring to you and do the same things others do. I do not know if I would do the same without them has done Valentino. Can I made my first and told everyone that I am the first, but the reality is that Valentino started it first, so if I continue to do some say that such copying is by Valentino, which some fans say to me "by Lorenzo is the best "and the bike and rejoicing at all. But I live my life, I do not live the lives of others if others do not like, I do not care! I have many fans and this is my feeling and my love goes to my fans and not those who do not like! "

"The fans will be Valentino's fans to stop racing, but for several years afterwards. Followers of Pedrosa will be the proportion of Pedrosa. Some change, but not massive. Make the celebration because I like to do and I think that might be fun for me and my people and to live the moment and not just to greet the audience with his hand or punch me. This is something normal, something boring and I'm not a normal road driver! "And maybe the actress who took courses in London help him in these sketches:" No, just trying to make my best. I am not Michael Jackson and I am definitely not a robot, just the relevant sketches to moonwalk tried to do the best I could. "

Certainly Jorge Lorenzo is a normal road driver. He writes his own story and slowly - slowly rises and lists statistics MotoGP, especially since last year is all one of the top 4 drivers, «fantastic four», as they are called. They are 4 to win any of the motorcycles of Honda, Ducati, Yamaha; «Not every driver, but speaking for myself, I was always quick with what bike I had in my entire career. I do not think that would be a big problem if I changed brands. Now of course I want to stay with Yamaha because this is the best family in the paddock. It's really a big family and all the lovely people. I do not think other brands is the same, so therefore I want to go with Yamaha, but if one day I have to change because of such assignment or something, I think I will adapt to the other, "replies the Spaniard, while giving the position of translational movements of the chessboard.

Here we can say that the Stoner to make the first move, the Rossi is known that he would go to the "red" team and Pedrosa to stay at Honda, then laminated the good results, there appears to be many options left. "Speaking of Yamaha, think that from now on will focus on the development of the motorcycle of 1000cc, follow your own line?" Asked to get a direct answer: "I hope and wish to do so and I think we should do. Because if you compromise and remain satisfied with what we have now, surely the other brands we will overcome and be more competitive. "

Certainly a discussion of a Greek journalist with the driver as a trade mark of the helmet of the Spartan Leonidas, surely this issue is to close the conversation. "I knew the story of Sparta before seeing the movie" 300 ". But there is very little you know and see this movie explaining what happened then. How was the life of the Spartans and everything about the battle with the Persians. I liked this movie and I thought that my life was quite similar to the Spartans. Depending on the distance of time, because surely life was much harder than my life. My life was something that you can live in our times. The Spartans were preparing their children from the beginning, from an early age, every day, to become fighters. And it was a city of warriors. All they were doing to prepare for battle. And the whole energy of my father, financially and spiritually was to become a racing driver. And make me No. 1.

Bautista:The pedestal is in my goals ...




The Spaniard Alvaro Bautista in the second year in MotoGP is the only driver of the Rizla Suzuki in 2011 after the Japanese company's decision to reduce funding of the factory team this year.

"It will be the same as to start again from scratch, now is the experience and all the settings and just need to go faster, because there is already a path. Now is not enough to give battle to ten, less is being close to the 7-8 position. To do this it is essential to evolve a good bike. If we succeed, then the foundation is in my goals, "said Bautista.

Regarding what is said that the Suzuki is the worst bike rack boot, the Spaniard said:
"It's complicated. What I know is that the bike has improved during the year with the work done by me and the team. It's like when Rossi moved to Yamaha and nobody wanted to drive the bike and now this is the best. The bike needs work, and Suzuki is a factory can build a competitive machine. You just have to know how to do it. "

About that his contract ends at the end of 2011, Bautista said:
"We need to make a good start to the season, because the contracts are signed very quickly in the paddock, but I'll look my own way, despite the possible offers. It will also change in 2012 to 1,000 cc and so it is necessary to see what happens there. For me, the 800cc is still little, so not sure what to do with the grand ... "

To see So what do Alvaro Bautista, with no other help in the development of the motorcycle, but the passion that see in the driving test in Valencia (with elbows on the road). Will he succeed in the high goals it has put? Suzuki and the series will find at last after the World Championships in 2000, got the Kenny Roberts Jr, the true self?


O Leon Haslam time Dainese D-also air



The 27 year old rider BMW Motorrad Motorsport Superbike modified form of technology Dainese «D-Air».
It said:
"I am happy to team up once again with Dainese. I visited the headquarters of the company and saw up close that the concepts of "tradition in racing motorcycle," "safety" and "protection" is synonymous with Dainese. Like I have in my form technology, "D-Air".
The people of the company are excellent, as are the forms that make them. It is very practical, lightweight and offer good protection, judging from the fall I had in Cartagena two weeks ago.

The Monster Yamaha Tech 3 team concluded a successful start with preparations for the 2011 MotoGP World Championship with Colin Edwards and Cal Crutchlow satisfied with significant progress achieved by the end of a three-day Test at Sepang circuit in Malaysia.

Experienced American Edwards took full advantage of dry conditions throughout the Test to assess a number of new upgrades for the Yamaha YZR-M1 machine.

Colin Edwards, 9:
"It was good to get back to work with the Monster Yamaha Tech 3 Team and I'm really happy with the progress that Yamaha has done on the bike for 2011. He has improved in all areas and it was great to get back to the speed so quickly and at competitive and consistent times each day. The engine is a great improvement in terms of power and the chassis helps to turn a lot better than I could before, so that all aspects I am happy and confident that I can have a strong season. Looking at the field there is an incredible talent, but I feel very motivated to repeat some of which had strong results in 2009. It will not be easy, but I'm sure with the help of Monster Yamaha Tech 3 Team, it is unrealistic to strive for the top six. I will be glad to be on track again later this month so we can finalize the package before the first race. "
Cal Crutchlow, 17th:
"I'm happy with the test because I'm still learning so much, but I was able to run a consistent pace and drop my times each day. I am a big learning curve and I was not looking for pure speed. I had never ridden in this piece before and is definitely a tough place to learn quickly. All the other kids have made millions of rounds around here and I just have to create my experience. I have to improve in every area, but I'm happy and the Monster Yamaha Tech 3 Team is very happy. My times on the podium for those in the race last year and this is good considering everything is still so new to me and I was not in excellent physical condition because of my shoulder. should be improved in braking but also to accelerate the pace of my hard tires Bridgestone, but I feel I'm getting more comfortable with the bike. I've been looking at loads of data and when they return later this month will continue trying to adjust my style. I'm still riding the bike too much like a superbike, but I'm happy that I'm progressing and getting faster.

Team San Carlo Honda Gresini rider Marco Simoncelli has confirmed excellent recent form with a stunning performance in the third and final day of testing in Malaysia on Thursday. The Italian had already made a strong start on opening day and improved throughout Wednesday, and then consistency across a simulated game today, which was also positive. Hiroshi Aoyama also enjoyed an encouraging recent days, creating the self-confidence and exposure to the new team.
Marco Simoncelli, first, 2'00 .757 (42 laps):
"I'm really happy today. The test in Valencia, we realized that the new bike had potential and I had a good feeling with it. Given that this is not one of my favorite circuits we still managed to build our consistency from yesterday and today I am unable to determine a terrible round. For the rest of our days focused on a simulation game, setting a consistent pace and by the end of which I was not the limit, as I was to race here. Overall, I am 100% happy . The team worked perfectly, the changes are implemented successfully and everything has gone perfectly. We have improved, starting with myself, kids and bicycles, and I am sure that this year «LL» be 'there. Obviously, this is only the first test so we must keep our feet on the ground and just continue. "

The MotoGP 2011 coming!

The kosmoagapitos Rossi will drive a scarlet Ducati, former world prpstathlitis Stoner a factory Honda and "now" Lorenzo a brand new Yamaha!

The first official (and standard) two-day trials of FP motoGP 2011, made immediately after the final race of 2010 at the racetrack Ricardo Tormo (Valencia), and created mixed emotions! The all-time leading Rossi, after a long and highly successful partnership with Yamaha, changing camp (Ducati) and immediately shows his concern for the conduct of his new weapon! The 2007 champion Stoner leaves the Italian factory and choosing a Honda HRC makes impressive times, but this year tsampion Lorenzo leads a completely new Yamaha and also leaves the best impression! With stunning 1.32.012 climbed to the highest position of the first days of the years (and second!) And said enthusiastically: "We tested the new Yamaha and although it shows no better, yet it is even worse (!). The most significant improvement has been made on posts which gave me more confidence in the apex. Also, the new engine seems to hold over the front wheel in contact with the asphalt. What we need to do is to try to confirm and understand how the new parts on the bike and go forward with some basis. Just two tenths behind him was Casey Stoner, whose primary goal was to realize how his new bike and settle on a framework to start working on it! On the same wavelength and initiated team mate, Pentroza - Ntovisiotzo (yes, the Honda will have three factory riders!), Trying a new motorcycle frames, engines and suspensions. In their statements indicated that the new Honda has more stability and better traction, but would like better "control" the brakes. The champion of SBK, Ben Spis, was promoted to the Yamaha (factory now and not a satellite group), indicating a direct acquaintance with the M1 and getting the third best time!

The Doctor!

And we reach loved all the "doctor" Rossi, who in his first steps with the Ducati is not chased the absolute time (10th, 1.8 "behind Lorenzo), but was devoted to test two different engine technology (« Big Bang »for friendly version and «Screamer» for more power) and the adaptation of the motorcycle.

The second day of testing as soon as he found the Stoner, who tested new rules engine and chassis, and new tires. The team mate, and Pentroza Ntovisiotzo, worked on a common goal of improving the behavior of RCV212, particularly the stability during braking.

The factory riders of Yamaha, Lorenzo and Spis, spent the day testing and evaluation of new Bridgestone tires and succeeded in time 2o and 3o respectively. Not that bad! Valentino Rossi, similarly, showed no interest in clocks (15th) and worked methodically with his team of engineers on the regulation of the «Big Bang» Engine GP11 (this means that the corresponding «Screamer» will stay on the shelf!). However, we must work very hard in the winter, and to improve the behavior of the front suspension. Rossi remained sphinx's statements, but it was quite obvious the problem of the Ducati which was not straight! In the camp of Suzuki, the smiles were wide, so why not take part in an institution with just the rider, but because he (Baoutista) left a lot of promises to do much better than the role of sidekick. I wish!

Finally good, all right, then, the "first" riders with their new weapons, hard work and long sleepless nights waiting for them and their teams more widely in the coming months. The truth is, however, that the championship of 2011 will be even more exciting, more unpredictable! Like every year also!

The tests at Sepang
Last year's MotoGP champion had the fourth fastest time in the combined rankings, behind Casey Stoner, Dani Marco and Pentrosa Simontseli who topped once each.

However, the Lorenzo said: "I am very happy after three days, was one of the best winter testing, because we usually have more problems in this phase.

"The motorcycle (Yamaha) is feeling good but needs improvement in some areas. I think the next test will take the step above."

The new team mate Lorenzo of the factory team Yamaha, Ben finches, noted for its part: "We tried both settings on the engine and now we know what direction to go, which is very good.

"We also worked on some electronics to reduce fuel consumption without losing a gyrologio and there and found a good solution.

"We'll be back in two weeks with different objectives trying to be a little faster and try some different tire
