Recently crowned World Champion Jorge Lorenzo was joined by the retiring Casey Stoner, Valentino Rossi, Cal Crutchlow and Aleix Espargaró at the Thursday evening pre-race press conference.
Yamaha Factory Racing’s Lorenzo, who won the title at the last race in Australia is glad to have the pressure off his shoulders, and is looking forward to just thinking about a win: “My shoulders are lighter after winning the World Championship. Things are much easier with less pressure. I’d like to fight for the win, but there will be many competitors. Casey with the last race of his career, so for sure he’ll want to end it the best way possible, and Dani will want to make up for his bad feeling he had at Phillip Island.” And with regards to the new track surface in Valencia he said: “Without bumps it’s better to ride. You feel more comfortable and it’s more fun.”
