The Fiat Yamaha team look ahead to this weekend’s MotoGP action at Aragon. Jorge Lorenzo is expecting huge home support for what will be the third race in Spain and has targeted a podium finish.

Jorge Lorenzo – “A fun place”
“It’s our third race in Spain but the first time at Aragon and I’m excited. I went to test there last month and it’s an amazing track. The first corner reminds me of Turkey and there’s a lot of up and down, it’s a fun place. I would like to do a great race and dedicate it to Tomizawa. I hope lots of people but especially my fan club are coming because I think it will be a good weekend. My aim is to get on the podium again and to push as hard as I can. We’re ready to start working.”

Valentino Rossi – “Complicated and fun”
“Last week I rode an R1 at the track and I really like it. It’s quite complicated but it’s a lot of fun and it’s fast, so I think it will be a real test. I think the best bit is the entry to turn 16 and I am looking forward to riding my M1 there. Misano was a very sad weekend for our sport but now we’re looking forward to a new race and we are hoping for a good weekend for everyone in memory of Tomizawa. I am feeling stronger and fitter every day so I will be aiming for the podium again this time.”

Wilco Zeelenberg – “Not easy to learn”
“It’s a great circuit and Jorge really loved it when we went there last month. It’s very hilly, which is always fun, and it has many different types of corners so it’s not too easy to learn but is an exciting challenge for the riders. Our target once again will be the podium and to keep working towards our target of the championship.”

Davide Brivio – “A new challenge”
“It’s exciting to be heading to a new place and of course after Misano it will be very interesting to see Valentino’s progress on his way to recovery. It’s a fantastic track. We went to see it last Wednesday and Valentino had the chance to learn it; he liked it a lot. It’s very technical, fun to ride and for sure all the riders will enjoy the new challenge.”
