“I can’t see anything phasing him. If anything, being a home round, it will spur him on..."
MotoGP legend Jorge Lorenzo was the first to claim that the brilliant rookie will win at Jerez, in just his fourth round in the premier class.
“This weekend is a real opportunity for him to not only win, but to stake a claim as a title contender, which does sound mad to say considering he’s four rounds in. “It is true that Jerez is one of my favourite circuits, and in addition, our test team has trained here a lot so I am sure that the bike will do well.
“This Andalusian layout is very well known by all riders, as there is always a lot of testing going on at this track. “Last season in Moto2, he was on the podium, so it is a layout that he enjoys, and we are excited to see what he can do this week on home soil.
