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

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 Buddh 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.”
