Movistar Yamaha MotoGP bring Championship Battle to TT Assen
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
The Movistar #yamaha MotoGP team arrived in Assen in high spirits after securing their fourth consecutive victory of the season in Catalunya a little more than two weeks ago. Riders #jorgelorenzo and #valentinorossi are looking forward to returning to action at the 'Cathedral of Speed' this weekend as they aim to take over the lead in the championship standings.
Following a thrilling race and a productive test in Barcelona a fortnight ago, the Movistar #yamaha MotoGP team head North for the Motul TT Assen. Last year's race in the Netherlands saw #valentinorossi storm to a brilliant victory, whilst #jorgelorenzo made it a double podium for #yamaha. This year the Factory #yamaha teammates are again keen to feature at the front of the pack during an extra special eighth round of the MotoGP #worldchampionship as it will be the first time the Dutch GP is held on a Sunday instead of the traditional Saturday race.
Lorenzo is looking to bounce back on Dutch soil following an unlucky DNF in Catalunya at the last round. The Mallorcan holds second place in the championship and hopes to step on the top step of the rostrum in Assen for the fifth time in his Grand Prix #racing career. He previously secured a win in 125cc (2004), 250cc (2006 and 2007) and MotoGP class (2010) and is eager to apply some of the findings from the post-Catalunya test to his set-up for this weekend.
Teammate Rossi is also looking forward to continuing his battle for the championship. The Italian currently holds the Fastest Lap and Best Pole record thanks to a 1'32.627 lap he set in qualifying last year. He has won nine times in front of his Dutch fans (125cc x 1 in 1997, 250cc x 1 in 1998, and MotoGP x 7 in 2002, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2009, 2013 and 2015) and counts Assen as one of his favourite tracks. His superb win from last year gives him an extra confidence boost for this weekend as he tried to move up from third place in the championship standings.
The TT-Assen round has featured on the Motorcycle #worldchampionship calendar since its creation in 1949 and draws in thousands of #racing fans each year. The original circuit was over 6km and a favourite among riders, but lay out modifications shortened the track to its current 4,542-meter long format. Thanks to its narrow tarmac and rapid change in direction the track is a true test for riders to show off their skills, whilst being cheered on by spectators on the completely filled grass banks and grandstands alongside the track.
