'I've always been fast there'
08 June 2009Jorge Lorenzo is itching to get back on track at the Circuit de Catalunya this weekend as MotoGP returns to Spain with its annual pilgrimage to Barcelona. After losing his championship lead to Casey Stoner at the last round in Italy, Yamaha's Lorenzo is keen to make up the four-point deficit on Sunday.

| Lorenzo is searching for extra energy from his home crowd in Spain this weekend |
The breaking of Valentino Rossi's run of Mugello victories by Stoner was the latest surprise of the season in Italy eight days ago, although Lorenzo is now looking to add to the drama by winning in his home country as Spain hosts its second race of the year. "I've had a great season so far but it hasn't all been perfect and I made a big mistake in Jerez when I tried to pass Stoner, so hopefully I can do better for my home fans this time!" 22-year-old Lorenzo laughed.
"After Mugello and Le Mans we know that anything can happen and you just have to keep calm and focused. Now we're going to my home, the closest place to my Island of Mallorca and one of my favourite tracks. I've always been fast there, right back to when I went there for the first time when I was in 125s and got my first second row start."
After a heavy accident in 2008, Jorge is looking to put the bad memories behind him this year: "My main aim this time is to have a better weekend than last year and to completely forget what happened. I improved on last year in Mugello so hopefully I can do the same again in Barcelona."
