Lorenzo win proves it will be close in 2012
Jorge Lorenzo hailed his Qatar victory among his best ever, but as Toby Moody points out, it was more than that - it was the perfect catalyst for what MotoGP hopes will be a cataclysmic title battle between Yamaha and Honda
That was a big win for Jorge Lorenzo. His Yamaha team was thrashed last year by Honda. Just as Yamaha looked like taking a brilliant Valencia victory at the end of the season with Ben Spies, Honda nicked it at the last minute.
Shoulders were down at the Yamaha factory going into the winter; they knew another Casey Stoner onslaught would be difficult to countenance, but also hard to halt.
