Fiat Yamaha's Jorge Lorenzo reckons that the result of the Indianapolis MotoGP race proves that to win in the blue riband class, you have to be on the limit all the time.

The Spaniard was handed an easy win in America when countryman Dani Pedrosa crashed out only four laps into the race and was followed by series leader Valentino Rossi at half distance.

"If you want to win, you have to always be at the limit, and in the last two races I was at the limit to try to win and I crash, so I was a bit disappointed," said Lorenzo.

"The situation changed completely and it changed for Valentino and Dani, and not only for them, but for me. It was  difficult to keep my concentration for 20 laps because I was a little bit bored, but I can't relax because maybe if you think of another thing, you can crash."
