Lorenzo's team manager Wilco Zeelenberg admitted it's getting close to a win or bust situation.
如果我們想贏得冠軍賽,我們需要贏比賽並開始擊敗Casey,這會是巨大挑戰,但我們已準備好了!
"If we want to win the world championship we need to win races and start beating Casey, it is going to be a big challenge but we're ready for it!” said the Dutchman.
Zeelenberg也希望新的賽道路面也能讓Lorenzo有所發揮,去年他在設定上滿掙扎得。
“去年我們在這有些問題,不過他們重鋪過路面,所以我們期待能在它還不是狀況最佳時檢視它。”
目前的疑問是否山葉會要求Ben Spies挺身而出協助Lorenzo。
Spies won his first race at Assen this year, but is only sixth in the championship and 109 points from Stoner.
The Texan beat Lorenzo at Indy last year, finishing second last on a satellite Tech 3 Yamaha, and Zeelenberg expects Spies to be very competitive this weekend:
“Ben在這經驗豐富,我們相信我們能在這裡爭取勝利或領獎台。”
這一站Lorenzo和Spies 同樣會再次披上50週年紅白紀念圖裝.
Both will have the chance to use new parts tested at the recent Brno test.
同時兩位也將有機會使用在捷克測試中的新套件
