Jorge Lorenzo is tested again this weekend at the Montmelo circuit, where he arrived with the second place in the standings for MotoGP, which aims to achieve. The Mallorcan rider Magazine showcases their progress to sports, but also his tireless work to advance out of the circuit as a person. Jorge struck with fury the sac that holds Alberto Girau, his professor of defense, one of the many fitness activities that practices
There are people who do not leave indifferent. Neither supported the compromise. Or white or black. Either you are with Jorge Lorenzo, or hates him. All or nothing. It's like the dichotomy of their dorsal 99 with a digit crowned with little horns and a devilish angel with the hoop. It's like throwing the challenge at each stake, albeit a harmless conversation with a bank employee who dares to confess neutrally "fan of Spanish drivers. Change location. "You can be of Pedrosa and Lorenzo at once, as you can not be of Barca and Madrid. It is very logical, "dismantles Jessica, who runs out of words, with a half grin courtesy behind the counter. That's Jorge Lorenzo Guerrero (Palma de Mallorca, 1987), man of motorcycling fashion, the pilot who runs adjectives, the call to be heir to the throne of Valentino Rossi, loved and hated, spontaneous and passionate to some, false and conceited for others.
Such conflicting feelings, discussions on in the stands, in bars or on internet forums, is able to generate a boy of 22 who lives as a pilot, at full throttle, with courage, with passion, and strife, and against clock, with the shared agenda between the plane and the gym, including training, medical experts, interviews, acts of sponsors and their little moments of fun.
"No, I'm late, I as usual." Are your good morning to his closest associates, to reach the office sleepy face of La Caixa in Barcelona, where it manages its financial affairs. Between races, Lorenzo returns to his lair, a terraced house in Alella, half an hour from the Catalan capital in Fiat Cinquecento. You do not have your own car, it pays your sponsor. In fact, despite being one of the best Spanish athletes paid (still far away from Alonso, Nadal and Gasol), hoards Lorenzo just possessions. "I'm an athlete who likes whimsical luxury." Nor has its own motorcycle, or boats in Palma, or houses in Switzerland, or jewelry ... "I'm going more comfortable with a t-shirt 20 euros with a 200 ... No make sense to spend a fortune to not appreciate it. There are people who value it most, and then want something bigger, more expensive, it's a vicious circle. I have an X-Box, I like videogames, I'm happy with some playtime with friends. I have no other property. "Mortgage? I do not know if I have, I guess ...", says Jorge, quite unconcerned. Although they have is something ratilla, typically move through the world almost penniless. "It robbed me sometime and I'd rather go with a card and carry a maximum 50 euros. If it is stolen, I can cancel it "takes refuge Lorenzo, also somewhat confused about everything related to payments, receipts and invoices. Always with their advisors once a month is passed through the box to update their accounts. Previously, nor-worried.
In GymBCN Sants Hotel Barcelo, on Barcelona's great railway station, waiting to Lorenzo the daily marathon training session. They are five hours intense sessions that combine weights, cardio, some days-defense classes, a clean kick taekwondo, kick-boxing or moai-tai, "to improve coordination and the bottom" as well as an adrenaline rush, and other days, Pilates, "for abdominal work, to manage body energy. The timing of the pilot's physical condition is controlled thoroughly Marcos Hirsch, the trainer of the boy since December 2002. But not only that. Mark has been and is, as a spiritual father, guru, adviser. "It has greatly influenced my life, both physically and mentally. Lately, thanks to him my sports figure has changed much. It has a great competence is a coaching, can give advice on how to lead my life, "Lawrence admits that Hirsch has more direct to your advisor and covers most aspects. Her recipes are valid for personal issues, behavior and attitude, and for professionals, whether the selection of interviews that grants or commercial contracts signed. But Mark is, above all, the person who is shaping Lorenzo in the past six years.
The gym Sants who directs his friend Carles Pujol is the second house of Lorenzo. He puts his body in tune with sessions of weights, cardio, Pilates and self defense. It is also the intimate environment makeshift office of George, with his adviser Mark Hirsch in the lead, his press aide Hector Martin and Carlos Gil, boy for everything that takes care of your motorhome or drive him.
Published December 28, 2009 In recent days, had circulated the rumor that Wilco Zeelenberg, former MotoGP rider, technical coordinator of Yamaha Motor Europe and head of the Yamaha World Supersport team in 2008, was the number one candidate for the leadership of the box for Jorge Lorenzo. Same Zeelemberg has instead required to state that it is not the only candidate to replace Daniele Romagnoli. The Dutch indeed, said he was surprised by the speed with which news is circulated. Interviewed by the Dutch website "racesport.nl" he wanted to clarify the following."It's amazing how quickly the media publish these types of items. What surprised me is that nobody has contacted me for an explanation. Up to this phone call (with Racesport.nl) no journalist had called me to know if the story was true or not. The story that I have already taken up his post as director of team of Jorge Lorenzo is completely wrong. We should know more by mid-January. Until then there will be no news about my personal position on the Yamaha. Now I go skiing with my family and think about the next season early next year. "...
