Jorge Lorenzo heads to Aragon hoping to put on good show for home fans

After a great race weekend in Misano two weeks ago, Movistar Yamaha MotoGP rider Jorge Lorenzo returns to Spain for round 14 of the 2014 MotoGP World Championship this Sunday, the Gran Premio Movistar de Aragón.

Jorge arrives in Aragon with great confidence and ready to put on a show for his penultimate home race. Over the last three years the Spaniard has had numerous successes at the MotorLand Aragón circuit, scoring two second places and a third place podium finish.

His podium finish at the last round in Misano puts Lorenzo in fourth place in the championship with 177 championship points, 35 points clear of his closest rival.

The MotorLand Aragón circuit is situated near the town of Alcaniz in Northern Spain, a few hours drive from Barcelona. The fast and challenging 5.078 km long track was added to the MotoGP calendar in 2010 and has one of the most spectacular elevation changes and multiple flowing corners.

Jorge Lorenzo
“Motorland is a great track but it’s one of the few circuits on the calendar where I was never able to win. Over the last few years the layout seemed to be more suitable for our rivals, but I guess this season we can be closer especially because we tested there a couple of days after Montmeló so we already have some references. I’m still pursuing my first victory of this season and Misano again wasn’t the place, but I’m not worried about it. Hopefully we can complete a good weekend at Aragon and let’s see what happens! You never know. Last year I won in Motegi, a Honda track, and it was a massive surprise. I don’t see why we can’t do the same thing this year at Aragon!”
