Lorenzo

Jorge Lorenzo took the standings lead at the Polini Grand Prix of Japan, with Stoner not performing as should..the race was a bit boring, Lorenzo snatched the lead from Rossi and continued to increase the gab while Rossi kept Pedrosa busy.

Lorenzo got a bit over excited and kept riding around the track greeting the fans when his bike ran out of fuel and the Marshals had to push him all the way back to the podium.

The next round will be on May 3rd in Spain, that’s where Lorenzo is expected to get huge support… the people there are very passionate about the Spanish riders and Lorenzo should take a risk to win it, the race should be very entertaining as Pedrosa is also Spanish and he won that race last year.
