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.

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.

Valentino Rossi finally being assertive, he gave the signal to Yamaha in 2011 that they had to choose between him or Jorge Lorenzo.

It is a contender again, a very high level but that is all. On the track there are other drivers that are fast and good and you never know what will happen, he said. As to the hierarchy within Yamaha's Rossi, Hirsch points out that the two pilots "are two luxury employees working for the factory and can not understand the Italian" put on the ropes the boss.

"We will listen to people who come and talk to us and together with George sitting at the table will value what we believe is best for the career of George. What others say, the little messages and hallway gossip, or take away or give us when making the decision. If we need to assess Suzuki, Honda, Ducati, at any point in the assessment will be that Mr. Rossi says he wants us to leave, "he says. The representative of the Balearic continued analyzing the behavior of both drivers, contrasting his pupil, "a type also extremely polite and gentlemanly and when you do it sincerely welcomes" Rossi, a champion who "alone is full when you win."
