Ducati Team’s Jorge Lorenzo is aiming to capitalise on the Desmosedici GP18’s strengths this weekend as Aragon is set to host round 14 of the MotoGP World Championship in Spain.

The multi-time world champion, who crashed out of podium contention in the dying stages at Misano, said he drew some interesting conclusions from the encounter that have proved to be helpful ahead of the weekend.

“After the Misano race I managed to turn the page relatively easily,” Lorenzo explained. “I realised where we went wrong and drew some interesting conclusions. Now we’re off to MotorLand, a circuit where I think we can capitalise on the strong points of our bike and where last year I was able to get onto the podium.

“The test we did three weeks ago was very positive and now we are back here well-prepared and with very clear ideas. After a crash you go back onto the track in the next race even more determined to do well and we will demonstrate that we can continue to fight until the end.”

Lorenzo’s surge into form in the middle half of the season sees him ranked fourth in the championship standings.
