Cooler temperatures helped to alleviate the rear grip issues that both Movistar Yamaha MotoGP riders had during the weekend. This confidence in the dry was short lived as spits of rain began to fall, causing Lorenzo to ease off and briefly settle for third.
From here Lorenzo managed the gap to win by ten seconds ahead of Aleix Espargaro (NGM Forward Yamaha). Not only is this Lorenzo’s first win of 2014, it is also Yamaha’s first ever victory at the Aragon circuit.
Lorenzo continued, “I saw the time on my board and saw the times were dropping too much, I made a last second decision to swap in the box and we got some luck. I was able to stay comfortable in the wet. Speaking with the team before the race we thought we could get third, never a win. But finally the rain came and there were some crashes and we got some luck despite all our problems. It’s also the Movistar GP so it’s the best track for us to win at!”
