Ducati Team rider Jorge Lorenzo had a strong opening day at the Silverstone Circuit on Friday when he finished the first day of free practice for the British GP inside the provisional top ten.
The former champion concluded the second FP2 session, in which all riders improved their times on the morning's run, in sixth place with a lap of 2'01.655, without using the soft rear tyre for his fastest lap, leaving him feeling positive about the rest of the weekend.
“Today was quite a positive day: I had some good sensations, I felt at ease on the bike and the weather was nice and sunny all day, something rather unusual here in England,” he said.
“At this moment our main problem is the bumpy track surface which makes it quite difficult so tomorrow we'll have to work some more on the suspension to try and resolve it. At the end of the session we decided not to fit the soft rear tyre and save it for tomorrow, also because my time was good enough to get into the top ten.”
