The Repsol Honda Team riders compete at the Italian circuit this weekend, the scene of a Lorenzo victory last season.
The sixth round of the MotoGP World Championship comes after two consecutive victories for Marc Márquez at Jerez and Le Mans, in addition to his win in Argentina and second place in Qatar.
Jorge Lorenzo was the winner of last year’s Italian Grand Prix, taking his total triumphs at Mugello to seven: Six in MotoGP and one in 250cc.
Mugello was also the venue for the first win of Marc Márquez’s Grand Prix career: In 125cc in 2010.
Marc Márquez:
“After Le Mans I am first of all hoping for good weather in Mugello! I like the circuit, even if we have not always had the best results there. If we keep working well from Friday as in previous rounds, I feel confident we can have a good race. Our rivals are always very strong and very close at this circuit, it can be a fun race on Sunday!”
Jorge Lorenzo:
“We made good progress in Le Mans with the setting of the bike and were able to be much closer to the front. I’ve had similar success in the past in Mugello as to Le Mans, so I am hopefully of continuing to improve our position. The Repsol Honda Team has been working very hard and I am sure soon I will be able to achieve some results to thank them.”
