    Lorenzo Rides New Delhi Budh Circuit

    Yamaha Factory Racing rider Jorge Lorenzo kicked off 2012 today with a visit to New Delhi. The MotoGP star was in India for a personal appearance at the Auto Expo to meet both racing fans and the national Indian media. Lorenzo also took time this afternoon to visit the impressive Budh International circuit, a potential newcomer to the MotoGP calendar in the not too distant future. After a lap of the circuit aboard a Yamaha R15 in full Yamaha Factory Racing leathers Lorenzo met with a selected few new R15 owners before holding a short press conference at the track.

    The Yamaha rider will now fly on to Indonesia to be joined by team mate Ben Spies for two days of PR activities in Jakarta on the 14th and 15th January. The trip will be hosted by Yamaha Motor Kenkana Indonesia, a main sponsor of the Yamaha’s Factory Racing MotoGP Team (Semakin di Depan).

    “It’s been great to visit the Budh circuit today,” said Lorenzo, “the track is very modern and wide. I think it is quite prepared and ready to be on the calendar. I believe it will be exciting to ride with many overtaking opportunities. The Indian people I have met have been very kind and gentle, I would like to see more of India in the future with more time; we didn’t get to see so much in just two days here. Now I’m very excited to go to Jakarta to see all my Indonesian fans there.”

      Now that's super!!

      I really hope that Lorenzo does not get that bitter sour taste of India as Rossi got couple of years back

      But seriously... Lorenzo on a R15???? Man that little machine would be panting for breath after Lorenzo's lap
      Twist your wrist and feel the shift!!

            Indeed!

            Was selection of R15 for this a promotion scheme embedded within the mega event? Why not an R1?

                    Now many companies have started taking - world's third most economical super power - more seriously. Auto expo has shown this. And that's a great news.
