Lorenzo striving for home GP victory

Jorge Lorenzo hopes to follow in the footsteps of Dani Pedrosa by achieving a second consecutive Grand Prix victory as MotoGP™ heads to Barcelona this weekend.

Thanks to his second win of 2013 last time out in Italy, the Yamaha Factory Racing rider and reigning world champion has jumped up to second position in the championship and moved to within 12 points of Repsol Honda Team’s Pedrosa.

"I’m quite satisfied after our great result at Mugello that completed an almost perfect weekend," Lorenzo says on Tuesday.

"Winning again was very positive for me and for the team and we now go to Montmelo and my home Grand Prix. Some parts of the track are quite suitable for us but the doubt is always if the track conditions and the temperature can benefit us.

"I am very optimistic for the race and we will keep on working on the bike in the same way that we did in Italy. Compared with Mugello, Montmelo is a little bit slower, but at least there are no first gear corners and hopefully that will help us a lot. This is a good track for us and we have to profit from it and try to repeat the victory.

"It could be great for the championship. As far as I’m concerned, I will push 100% to achieve it."

Lorenzo has triumphed twice at the Circuit de Catalunya over the past three years, having won his home event in his title-winning seasons of 2010 and 2012.

Spaniards chase the English into Barcelona

Britain’s Scott Redding has won the last pair of Moto2™ races and carries a healthy championship lead into Round 6 at Barcelona. Behind him, a pack of charging Spaniards – as well as Finland’s Mika Kallio – are now hot on the heels of the Marc VDS Racing Team rider ahead of what is, for many of them, a true home race.

Curiously, although Redding may hold the smallest amount of points of any of the current leaders across the three categories of the World Championship (with 101 to Dani Pedrosa’s 103 in MotoGP™ or Maverick Viñales 106 in Moto3™), he convincingly holds the greatest advantage thanks to a 43-point cushion. With ‘only’ 25 on offer for a race win, this demonstrates the pressure on the shoulders of rivals.

Redding’s strong lead has come about as a combination of his steadiness coupled with the inconsistency of his closest opponents. Whereas he has achieved two wins, two second places and one fifth, Mapfre Aspar Team Moto2’s Nico Terol and Redding’s teammate Mika Kallio have enjoyed only two rostrums apiece, whereas Tuenti HP 40 pairing Esteve Rabat and Pol Espargaro have both won races but also been outside the top ten on two occasions each. Technomag carXpert’s Dominique Aegerter, who is sixth in the standings and the final rider to have notched up half a century of points, is yet to finish inside the top three but has collected a trio of fourth place finishes.

A key part of the upcoming weekend has in fact already happened, as Moto2™ enjoyed a single day of post-race testing after the last Grand Prix at Mugello. This was especially key for the likes of pre-season title favourite Espargaro, who after the last race openly admitted that he and his squad were in need of bike improvements in order to get back on par with Redding. Qualifying will bring the first real answers.

Two wildcard entrants are set to join the action this weekend, as Petronas Raceline Malaysia’s Hafizh Syahrin and TSR Motorsport’s Dani Rivas take to the track. The sun is expected to shine, although Barcelona weather has been changeable of late…

Wildcard Kedua Hafizh Di Catalunya

Pelumba muda negara, Hafizh Syahrin Abdullah menerima tiket wildcard kedua pada pusingan keenam perlumbaan MotoGP Dunia pada Grand Prix Sepanyol di Litar Catalunya, Sepanyol pada 14 hingga 16 Jun ini.

Pelumba Petronas Raceline itu berkata beraksi di litar Catalunya adalah peluang yang ditunggu-tunggunya selama ini dan optimis akan menggunakan pengalaman di Barcelona untuk mempamerkan perlumbaan cemerlang.

“Saya sememangnya menantikan cabaran ini. Barcelona sudah dianggap seperti rumah kedua saya manakala Litar Catalunya pula seperti litar halaman sendiri yang kedua untuk saya. Jika di Le Mans (Perancis) kami perlu cepat menyesuaikan diri dengan litar, di Catalunya pula situasinya agak berbeza kerana pasukan kami sememangnya berlatih di sini.

“Apa yang lebih penting ialah kami sudah mempunyai data yang cukup berkaitan litar ini. Dengan segala maklumat sedia ada, saya percaya kami dapat melakukan persiapan secukupnya menjelang hari perlumbaan sebenar nanti,” katanya dalam kenyataan di sini hari ini.

Perlumbaan di Catalunya merupakan aksi kedua Hafizh sebagai pelumba wildcard pada tahun ini selepas beraksi di Le Mans, Perancis, bulan lepas.

Pada aksi di Litar Le Mans, Hafizh Syahrin hanya mampu menamatkan perlumbaan di tempat ke-22 kerana jentera yang digunakannya mengalami masalah klac patah setelah terjatuh pada pusingan pertama perlumbaan.

“Di Catalunya, kami masih realistik dengan mengekalkan sasaran untuk sayansekurang-kurangnya dapat mengutip mata kejuaraan,” katanya.- BERNAMA
