Silverstone - The absence of Valentino Rossi's Jorge Lorenzo is mathematically easier to dominate the competition. But on the other hand, now leads to heavier pressure on Lorenzo. Rossi had to step aside from the racing arena for several series due to injuries acquired in the Italian GP free practice some time ago. Without Rossi, Lorenzo had the potential to swing alone in this premier class of motorcycle racing. Mathematically, yes. But the absence of The Doctor also makes the struggle for the Spaniard was even more severe. The reason Lorenzo became the only rider to beat. "The exit of Rossi gave a big change for Lorenzo. He entered the season as champions under Rossi. Now is fundamentally a chance to grab title Rossi has gone," explained Nicky Hayden, as quoted from Eurosport. "So now the pressure is greater leading to Lorenzo. It is interesting to see how he's going through all this," continued the 2006 world champion. Hayden said Lorenzo could not just play it safe. "I think Lorenzo still have to try and win the race. Four races into the future, I think it is too risky when he began racing with caution, especially by considering the difference in points between the drivers. Thus it is an absolute victory," he finished .
