YAMAHA FACTORY RACING BOOSTED AFTER TEST

With nine races down and as many to go, the first block of three races comes in the form of the Indianapolis, Czech and British events. Last week, the Yamaha test saw Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi taking to the Brno track for two days, possibly sampling their version of seamless transmission that is already being raced by Honda.
"We did a mini test at Brno to check some issues," explains Team Manager Wilco Zeelenberg. "The test was not so bad, first because both riders were happy with the results and secondly, from our side, Jorge did a good job. The first day he struggled a bit to find the rhythm but on the second day he improved a lot and was able to get the pace.
"The test was really important for Jorge to check his fitness, after a tough month where he had managed two serious injuries in the collarbone with two operations in ten days. Jorge has got more confidence after the test and now we travel back to the USA with positive feelings."
Having struggled to sixth place last time out at Laguna Seca, the recovered Lorenzo is now looking to make the most of his situation and catch the leading Repsol Honda Team riders in the championship, with Marc Marquez currently leading Dani Pedrosa.
