Lorenzo vows to push for victories
Jorge Lorenzo has told of his determination to enjoy the rest of the MotoGP season, claiming that he has no plans to ease off with the world championship wrapped up.
Lorenzo claimed the championship last week in Malaysia with three rounds of the championship remaining but the Spaniard has insisted that he is still looking for podium finishes for the rest of the season.
“It still feels good to hear the words ‘world champion’. Now the goals are completely different,” said Lorenzo.
“Now I don’t need any more points to win the championship. But I would like to finish the championship fighting for victories. I will try to the maximum.”
This weekend’s Australian Grand Prix is the last of “fly aways” before the series returns to Europe at Estoril and Valencia. But Lorenzo said celebrating at home was not a big priority for him.
“I’m excited to do it, but I think I’m more excited about getting on the bike tomorrow,” he said. “I want to enjoy this race to the maximum without any pressure, and to enjoy the motorcycle.”
He added that he had enjoyed a spectacular week since clinching the championship at Sepang last Sunday.
“There have been a lot of interviews, a lot of celebrations with the team – we’re still celebrating every night, but not as much as the first night… we are very happy,” said Lorenzo.
