A message to Pedrosa, perhaps?
|
SPANISH multi World Champion Jorge Lorenzo has spoken out about his amazing ride to second place in Qatar and what he really thinks of rivals Valention Rossi and Dani Pedrosa.
Speaking to Spanish press, he said: "We all want to win at Jerez, but I will be a man about what happens there. If Dani wins the race then I will congratulate him on the achievement. That is how my parents brought me up to be."
The comments have apparently been spurred on by the lack of congratulations from Pedrosa to Lorenzo after the MotoGP rookie's stunning ride, first time out a couple of weeks ago.
But Lorenzo is at least aiming high for himself, saying that he: "Will be the world-wide champion at some point." The double 250cc World Champ went on to land a couple more verbal jabs at
Pedrosa, adding: "Each person is responsible for what he says and does. If I were in his place I would have congratulated a newcomer who had managed to be second.
"For the past 20 years things have happened very quickly for me, but I continue to be the same as always, with my defects and my virtues. I always I act how I feel about things."
Jorge said that in his eyes team-mate Valentino Rossi is: "The best rider in history. I say that from my heart, what happened at Qatar for him was because of tyres and I am sure that he will be fighting for the win in Valencia.
"For me it will be an emotional time to race in Valencia in the MotoGP class, I hope it goes as well as last year when I won on the 250. But we are not going to let the Qatar result go to our heads, we are just looking to the next race - concentrating our efforts on Valencia. I'm not even thinking about the championship yet."
