It certainly was Jorge Lorenzo’s day at Sepang yesterday, with the Fiat Yamaha rider taking his first MotoGP Championshio title in a fantastic and mistakeless season, but the 15th round of the season also threw up one of the best races so far, with Valentino Rossi slicing through the field in his incomparable style, Marco Simoncelli reverting back to his old 250cc aggressive ways and you can read here, what all the riders had to say about the physically tough race.
Valentino Rossi – 1st“This is a wonderful moment for me, I am so happy to win like this and take my 46th win with Yamaha on ‘my’ M1.
It was one of my worst starts and for a moment I was really worried, but within a few corners I understood that I could go for it, because my bike felt great today thanks to a small change we made in warm-up, Jeremy’s idea really worked! I rode so well and it was a fantastic race, one of the best of my career I think.
I wanted this 46th win so much because as everyone knows it’s a special number for me! Thanks to my team because everyone worked so hard this weekend and I think this is a great repayment for everyone.
To win like this, from 11th at the first corner, is a great feeling.
Finally I want to say congratulations to Yamaha and to Jorge; he has been fast all season, at all tracks and in all conditions and he deserves to be the World Champion.
