Hes a name for the future years,so take it easy Lorenzo, your time will come and i am sure you will win many championships.

Lorenzos Flying Circus (U1879735) posted May 8, 2008 Jorge Lorenzo is the natural replacement for Vale Rossi! He is immensely talented, has incredible self belief and enjoys racing! The battles between himself and Dani Pedrosa will be reminescent of Rossi/Biaggi, different styles and personalities, an explosive mixture.

Nuvolari1 (U1731570) posted May 8, 2008 Those guys are tough. I hope he is back on his bike as soon as possible. My only advice is to take it easy and listen to his doctors, he is still young and has immense future ahead of him. All what I hope is he does not damage his future.

flymp3 (U11908101) posted May 9, 2008 The lad has plenty of guts & has won many new supporters - but he must not rush to get back whilst nursing such a bad injury how many racers lament not healing properly - sponsor pressure maybe to blame ?On another level. Hope you get back on track soon Jorge I need your points in the MCN fantssy race!!:D

Motormars (U12018685) posted May 20, 2008 Lorenzo is by no doubt a very talented rider and is is one of the assets to motor GP's present and future audiences. My opinion is that Lorenzo should take it easy for a few races, just try to be consistent in whatever he does and in the end he'll be satisfied and be rewarded. I believe he can learn a thing or two about being patient and still consistent at the end of the season, it may pay off. Talk to Nickey Hayden, I believe he has some wisdom in him.
