"With a 1,000 cc motor, can no longer swing with a smooth as well as when 800.cc," Lorenzo said in an interview with the Java Post in Jakarta yesterday (15 / 1). "The key is to brake as late as possible ahead of the curve, and accelerate as quickly as possible. I should be more rugged to the motor, there should be more like last season," he said.
To be more rude to the motor, Lorenzo ready to do a lot of racing style changes. During this time, he was known as one of the best racers in the smooth cornering. Personal logo, line half-circle around the sign x, means the excess Lorenzo overtaking opponents from the outside corner. Using a 1,000 cc motor, Lorenzo was ready to leave the excess.
In a trial late last year in Valencia, Lorenzo absent. At that Yamaha Factory Racing Ben Spies just lowered. However, Lorenzo are trying out the Yamaha M1 1000 cc engine in a test after the expiration of the Czech Republic MotoGP in Brno circuit in mid-August. At that time, Lorenzo posted a record time of 1 minute 56.256. He was just 0.085 seconds adrift of Stoner, who notched the fastest time.
"I've tried the Yamaha M1 1000 cc engine. I'm sure could be more competitive this season than last season," Lorenzo said in an interview with the Java Post in Jakarta yesterday (15 / 1).
Riding a bigger bike, Lorenzo had prepared his physical condition to be more powerful. It was necessary for him to be more abusive to the bike later. Drivers who idolized soccer club Barcelona's claim more diligently to the gym.
To Yamaha, he also has asked a few things that should be upgraded from the Yamaha M1. One of them is power. Last season it was also one of the main weaknesses of the Yamaha M1. In addition to power, "Lorenzo also requested acceleration must also be increased.
Yamaha and Lorenzo still has three times the test again to cover up the weaknesses that still exist. Later this month, contestants will be 2012 MotoGP test at Sepang Circuit, Malaysia. The trial will be the benchmark initial success or failure of development carried out for each team. The development was done on the results of two trials in the past year.
After a trial later this month, in truth there are still two more trials. Once again at the Sepang Circuit, plus once in the Jerez Circuit, Spain. However, in two trials, the participants MotoGP teams will be difficult to make major changes on the bike. Therefore, the inaugural race will be held next April in Qatar Losail Circuit. So, who's great at the end of testing at Sepang this month, he will most likely all the great early season 2012.
After not become world champion, Lorenzo will be back to using his old number 99. Just like when he was preparing a special design when using the number 1, a marker of world champions last season, for the 2012 season Lorenzo will also make special design number 99.
Like what? "Last year, in Surabaya, I want to give a little glimpse. But not for now. You'll see in Sepang, though more surprise," Lorenzo said in evasion.
Matter of his future, Lorenzo says it wants to continue along with the Yamaha. That is in line with the wishes of the Japanese manufacturer that makes a contract extension Lorenzo as their top priority. End of the year, Lorenzo contract with other top racers like Stoner, Valentino Rossi and Dani Pedrosa will indeed end. Thus, the stock drivers will be really crowded.
"During the competitive Yamaha, I want to spend my career in this team. Since 2008 joined Yamaha in the premier class, can be called only last season we were less than satisfactory. And I'm sure we will get back this year," said Lorenzo full of confidence.
Lorenzo's visit to Indonesia this time is the fifth. His teammate, Ben Spies, actually come. Yesterday they gave training to some of the riders racing locally in Indonesia. However, Spies did not participate because of illness to meet reporters after training at the Sentul Circuit.
