Lorenzo kommentar om racet:
“It’s over now. It is going to take something crazy for him (Rossi) not to win it. For sure the title is his (Rossi).”
“I got a bad start and had t o get by some people, and then I just didn’t have the same pace that I’d had all weekend.
"I was slower than in the practices and it really wasn’t what I was expecting. I expected the race to be much easier and I expected to be much faster.
"Unfortunately for me Valentino was just as strong as he’d been all weekend and I had to push very, very hard to stay with him.
"Towards the end I began to close the gap and after I passed him I was doing everything to stay in front, but then I made a mistake and crashed.
"There’s nothing more I can say except that I’m so sorry to the team and to Yamaha. I wanted to stay in front of him at that corner to try and make a break.
"But Rossi was braking unbelievably late, so I tried to stay ahead but ran wide and lost the front. "Second wasn’t going to be a good result, so I decided to go for it.”
