countryside is beautiful. We've always been pretty fast there and I'm sure with the Honda we can be competitive.”

With a last moment win at Mugello, Jorge Lorenzo is highly confident with his Yamaha M1’s pace and will definitely try to regain the world championship lead from Casey Stoner. It was the Spaniard’s second win in the 2011 season including his first at Jerez.
He displayed his competitiveness in dry conditions at Mugello.
