MotoGP Misano: Warm-up magic bullet helps Lorenzo

Reigning MotoGP World Champion Jorge Lorenzo made some alterations found a setup magic bullet during morning warm-up which improved his braking performance and allowed him to make a break the start of today's Misano MotoGP.

The factory Yamaha rider leapt out of the blocks and pulled a gap while Dani Pedrosa and Marc Marquez tripped each other up and Lorenzo said adding a strength to the forks in warm-up came after going round in circles with setup all weekend.

"We improve the bike so much in the warm-up as all weekend we have struggled to be competitive in braking, we could not stop the bike and I was angry. We changed many things, but nothing was good. Luckily, we improve in warm-up, I was much faster, much more confident so this give me the motivation to take the same strategy in the last few races," said Lorenzo, speaking at Misano.

"I try to push to the limit from the first corners and finally I got my goal to go alone. The seamless gearbox give us an advantage but we couldn't put the rest of things on the bike in the right direction, so I was upset but we didn't give up.

"I am paying for my mistakes in Assen and Sachsenring. The past is the past, we have to look to the future, improve the bike and win races to win the championship."
