After securing a brilliant third place, his first ever podium finish for the Ducati team this season, Jorge Lorenzo was back at the Jerez de la Frontera circuit with his Ducati Team for a one day official MotoGP test on Monday.
Together with the other MotoGP riders, Lorenzo advantage of the perfect weather conditions to carry out back-to-back tests with the Michelin tyres, as well as completing various set-up tests on his Desmosedici GP machine.
He completed a total of 50 laps to finish sixth overall, less than half a second down on pace setter Maverick Vinales with a 1:39.124
“Even though we didn't really try anything new, we found some more effective solutions to the ones we used in the race,” Lorenzo said. “Overall I'm very satisfied, above all because I'm continuing to rack up the mileage on the bike and am starting to feel that it's really mine. We were also able to test the new front tyre today, but I continue to prefer the one we have used until now because, in my opinion, it has better grip especially in mid-corner.”
