With Yamaha chasing Honda in the Manufacturer standings, it's the other way around in the Riders standings. As the MotoGP paddock arrives in Malaysia, the Yamaha Factory team set up in Sepang this week straight from Japan
for the sixteenth round of the 2012 MotoGP calendar.
Spanish Yamaha rider and current Championship leader Jorge Lorenzo arrives with a 28 point lead over Repsol Honda's Dani Pedrosa at the
top of the standings. American Ben Spies is confident ahead of the Malaysian Grand Prix and is determined to end this season on a high following a disastrous Grand Prix of
Japan, where the Texan had to retire on the second lap with braking issues. Due
to the cancellation of the Malaysian Grand Prix last year, Spies has only competed once at
the Sepang International Circuit, finishing fourth from fourth
on the grid in his rookie year.
Jorge Lorenzo
“So here we are back in Sepang, a track with difficult memories for
all of us from Marco’s tragic accident last year. It is also a track
which has very good memories for me from 2010 when I became MotoGP World
Champion. With three races left to go we must stay very focused and do
our best to put on a good show this weekend. The track is maybe more
suited to our bike than Motegi so we will be aiming for the best
possible result.”
Ben Spies
“It’s a strange feeling to come back here after last year. We will
honour Sic in the best way we know how, by going out on track and giving
100% as always. Last weekend was yet another disappointment with brake
issues, I really hope we can have a trouble free time here in Sepang and
show our true podium potential.”
