    Lorenzo admits: ‘I made a mistake’ / Lorenzo admet son erreur

    Jorge Lorenzo, Movistar Yamaha MotoGP, QAT RAC

    After the brilliant form which saw him win five of the last seven races of last season, Jorge Lorenzo had a disastrous start to his 2014 campaign on Sunday in Qatar.

    The 2010 and 2012 MotoGP™ World Champion crashed out of the opening Grand Prix of the year on the first lap, having made a trademark stunning start from fifth on the grid to grab the holeshot into turn one.
    A cold front tyre apparently caused his low side crash just a few corners into the race thought luckily he was able to walk away without any major injuries and will be fit and ready for the next round in Texas in three weeks time.
    “I made a mistake, it was a long time ago that I last did that in a race,” Lorenzo commented afterwards. “We are not perfect; we are only human and sometimes we make mistakes. The tyres were different to last year and the temperature of the tarmac was a little colder.”
    “I didn’t take these circumstances into account and I was too fast into the corner when the front and rear tyre were not ready yet. It's a pity to lose so many points with Marc (Marquez) and Valentino (Rossi) and Dani (Pedrosa) who are the favourites. Valentino demonstrated that the Yamaha can fight even with these tyres and the championship is very long so lets see what happens in Austin.”

    MotoGP QAT RAC

    Après avoir brillé sur la fin de la saison 2013 et remporté cinq des sept dernières courses l’an dernier, Jorge Lorenzo a commencé sa campagne 2014 de la pire des manières en chutant en tête de la course dimanche au Qatar.

    Le double Champion du Monde MotoGP™ est tombé dans le premier tour du Grand Prix Commercial Bank du Qatar, alors qu’il avait réalisé un départ exceptionnel depuis la cinquième position pour mener dès le premier virage.
    La chute du Majorquin a apparemment été causée par un pneu qui n’avait logiquement pas encore suffisamment monté en température sur les premiers virages de la course. Lorenzo a pu se relever sans le moindre problème, tandis que son YZR-M1 était en morceaux dans le bac à gravier. 
    « J’ai fait une erreur, ça faisait longtemps que je n’en avais pas fait dans une course, » a reconnu le pilote du team Movistar Yamaha MotoGP. « Nous ne sommes pas parfaits. Nous sommes des êtres humains et parfois nous faisons des erreurs. Les pneus étaient différents de ceux de l’an dernier et la température de la piste était un peu plus froide que pour le reste du week-end. »
    « Je n’ai pas pris ces circonstances en compte, je suis arrivé trop vite dans le virage et les pneus avant et arrière n’étaient pas encore prêts. C’est dommage de concéder autant de points à Marc (Márquez), Valentino (Rossi) et Dani (Pedrosa), qui sont les favoris. Valentino a démontré que la Yamaha pouvait se battre avec ces pneus. Le Championnat est très long et nous verrons bien ce qui se passera à Austin, » a conclu Lorenzo, qui retrouvera ses adversaires au Texas, pour la seconde manche, du 11 au 13 avril.

    MOTO GUZZI V7 CLASSIC BY REVIVAL CYCLES


    Moto Guzzi V7 Classic Motorcycle 740x493 Moto Guzzi V7 Classic by Revival Cycles
    Introduced in 2007 the Moto Guzzi V7 Classic represented the Italian marque’s step into the world of retro-styled motorcycles with modern underpinnings. Triumph and Ducati had both been catering to the genre for years with significant sales successes, which was enough to encourage the bean-counters at Moto Guzzi to approve the V7 project for a production run.
    Based on the original V7 series of motorcycles from the ’60s and ’70s, the new V7 series would feature the iconic Moto Guzzi transverse V-twin – considered by many to be one of the best looking motorcycle engines ever conceived.
    This V7 by Revival Cycles is a fantastic look at the model through the eyes of the 7 builders that make up Revival, their aim was to create a modern bike that evoked the spirit of the classic original – a feat they achieved with a hefty dose of brushed aluminium perfection.

    The most immediately noticeable feature on this build has to be that single-piece fuel tank, seat and rear cowling. It was all handmade from aluminium in-house and the fuel tank hides a built in fuel pump and Motogadget gauge that tracks RPM, speed, oil, fuel and mileage – all without cluttering the handlebars.
    The suspension on the V7 was removed and replaced with custom-built CNC triple trees, headlight brackets, headlight housing and milled down and worked over Yamaha R6 adjustable forks. The rear springs were custom made by Works Suspension out of California specifically for this machine, as a result of these changes the handling is reportedly much improved.
