Yamaha Factory Racing riders Jorge Lorenzo and Ben Spies
return to Italy this week for the Grand Prix of San Marino at Misano World
Circuit Marco Simoncelli.
After a successful two-day test in Aragón last week the
riders are relaxed and positive about their chances this weekend. Championship
leader Lorenzo arrives with a 13 point gap to closest rival Dani Pedrosa at a
circuit which witnessed a faultless victory for him last year and three prior
consecutive second place podium finishes preceding that.
Teammate Spies has always performed for the crowd at the
Misano circuit, taking two sixth place finishes after multiple overtakes in
both 2010 and 2011. The Texan also has a World Superbike victory under his belt
here from his 2009 Championship winning season.
“We arrive at Misano
now which is a track I like very much, we had a great victory here last year
and many podium finishes. We are still leading the Championship so we must work
hard this weekend to keep it and if possible to increase it. We will aim for
the podium and if it is possible, the victory.”
