This weekend sees Jorge Lorenzo as the sole Fiat Yamaha representative for the British Grand Prix due to Valentino Rossi’s broken leg. There had been many rumours circulating that the young British World Superbike rider, Cal Crutchlow, may have got the temporary ride during the Italian’s absence, but for Silverstone and Assen, there will be no replacement rider. Current championship leader, Lorenzo believes this is the right call by his team.
“I think they are doing right as they are showing their respect to ‘Vale’. He is in a bad situation at the moment and in a lot pain. It’s a gesture from Yamaha to be respectful of him. However, the limitations say we have to put another rider on the bike after two races and Yamaha will have to make their decision on who that will be. We don’t know yet which rider will be my partner. In some weeks we will know.”
Therefore, Lorenzo will have to fly the Fiat Yamaha flag alone and the team will only have one rider contributing to the valuable constructers points.
