Lorenzo on Yamaha M1 at Valencia test
Jorge Lorenzo was looking good on a white bike and white leathers and a white X-Lite lid at Valencia circuit. But that's about all we can say about him at the moment, since there were no times to be had – at least none that were worth listening to.
But, since we reckon (OK, I reckon) that Lorenzo could be at the sharp end next year and since this was such a blinding pic from top Jock snapper Graeme Brown of 2Snap, well, that was all the excuse we needed to post it. You have to wonder if this is the view that Nicky Hayden (also in the pic) will be getting of Lorenzo next year.
Actually, we've now got some times and although Gorgeous Jorge might have looked good in his kit, he was 1.2 seconds slower than Hayden....
Tuesday times:
Stoner 1-32.348
Hayden 1-33.176
Vermeulen 1-33.186
Capirossi (Suzuki) 1-33.266
Pedrosa 1-33.387
Elias (Pramac Ducati) 1-33.508
