Jorge Lorenzo is looking to take his first World Championship in the Malaysian MotoGP at Sepang this weekend. The teams have started to arrive at the circuit and Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo put their handbags away for long enough to give their thoughts below:

Jorge Lorenzo:
“All I am thinking about is Sunday and if I can win the title…it’s been one of the dreams of my life and it would be great to get it here in Sepang. I like Malaysia a lot and I’ve done so many kilometres there testing on my M1, plus I have great memories from winning the 250 championship there in 2007. The track is long and modern but the weather can be a problem because it can be too hot and also rain can cause problems. Last year was a bit crazy with the rain and then I had to start from last on the grid! I would definitely prefer it to be dry this year. The team and I will focus in the same way we have all season, working hard from Friday and with the goal of podium or victory. We hope for the best result we can get.”

Valentino Rossi:
“Japan was very exciting for us and it felt good to be fighting at the front through all the sessions and the race; it’s been a long time since we were that strong. I don’t know until I start riding how Sepang will feel on my shoulder but it is one of my two or three favourite tracks in the world and I am always excited to go there. We were strong there in winter testing, obviously a lot has changed since then but we made some good improvements to our bike in Japan so I hope we can be in the same kind of form this weekend.”
