MotoGP rider Jorge Lorenzo was on hand yesterday at the Vairano di Vidigulfo circuit in Italy, where Nolan was presenting their new 2010 Nolan X-Lite range to the press.

Lorenzo took to the track with the Yamaha YZF-R1, but with the special Fiat Yamaha Team replica livery and put in some serious lap time.

Talking to Alberto Porta of Italia 1 Studio Sport, Lorenzo confirmed that he is very concentrated and healthy and ready to take on team mate Valentino Rossi in the final three rounds of the series for the championship title. The Spanish rider added that Casey Stoner passed by his motorhome after the Estoril race to congratulate him and that the Aussie jokingly told him that if Lorenzo let’s him win at Phillip Island, he’ll help Lorenzo in the final two races.
