MotoGP World Champion Jorge Lorenzo is determined to take out his first ever victory at the Sachsenring during this weekend’s Grand Prix of Germany.

Sachsenring remains one of the few tracks on the GP calendar where Lorenzo has yet to win, taking second place on the podium in 2009 and again in 2010.

Last year’s race had been looking like another victory for the championship leader until a red flag changed the circumstances. The Yamaha rider will be looking to add the circuit to his list of vanquished tracks on Sunday.

“I feel very good after our victory in Mugello, an amazing victory that we needed for our confidence,” the Spaniard said. “We’ll take more power from it for future races, especially for the next two in a row.

“Now it’s time for Germany – Sachsenring is a unique track which I’ve ridden since 2002 and still not won! I would like to do it, it’s an interesting challenge in front my German fans.

“The team and I are ready to again try to reduce the gap to Casey, our aim is the podium, but we will try to push for the win.”

Lorenzo currently sits 19 points behind Australia’s Casey Stoner in the championship at the halfway point.
