Jorge Lorenzo despite his never-give-up attitude could do nothing to stop Casey Stoner at Jerez due to what he considers a wrong tire choice – even if the majority of the riders made the same choice – and despite his silky smooth and perfect riding style he wore out his front tire faster than he expected.

“Today I knew it would be a very important decision on the grid to choose the right front tyre.

Finally we chose the soft one, unfortunately we were wrong and had a lot of problems during the race, I wasn’t as confident as in practice.
Without good feelings to finish second is not so bad, we are still leading the Championship and have good motivation for Estoril,” said Lorenzo.
Ben Spies may have snapped at the journos who after just one race, suggested that Andrea Dovizioso may be taking his seat in the Yamaha factory team next season, but Spies will have to worry more about Cal Crutchlow taking his place after another disappointing and this time unexplainable performance in today’s race at Jerez.

The Texas Terror faded to a lowly 11th and again was the last MotoGP prototype rider on the grid (not counting Karel Abraham who crashed and then rejoined) and not showing any of the form he had in pre-season.
“I don’t really know what happened, I got off to a pretty good start from the line but after that I didn’t have a good feeling with the bike, it was a pretty pathetic race really for me.
I’ve apologized to the team and we’ve had a long meeting about what I was feeling with the bike.
I just wasn’t comfortable, I rode as hard as I could but the speed just wasn’t there.
We need to find something because we can see the Yamahas are working well but my feeling with the bike is not great.
It was a bad day at the office today,” said Spies.
