Lorenzo looking to complete American double
Jorge Lorenzo heads to Indianapolis this weekend looking to make it a perfect season in the USA and take another step towards the MotoGP championship.
The Fiat Yamaha rider, who won at Laguna Seca in California back in July, is looking to extend his already commanding 77 point lead at the top of the championship with a victory at the IMS this weekend.
Lorenzo took victory last year at the famous ‘Brickyard’ circuit, capitalising on crashes from teammate Valentino Rossi and Honda’s Dani Pedrosa and the Spaniard believes that his recent memories from America can inspire him to yet another strong performance this weekend.
“The first back-to-back races in the second half of the season are coming, and this first one after a few days of holiday in the US for me,” he claimed.
“This weekend will be the second race in this country in 2010 and I am looking forward to it because I would like to repeat the same result as I got in Laguna! I just have good memories from America, last month in Laguna and last year in Indy.
“Last year was amazing, but this time I don’t need to take too many risks. We can avoid it! Indy is a track that I like a lot and it has amazing history. The team and I are planning to continue our great season there this weekend.”
