Jorge Lorenzo spoke about many topics recently on the Podcast “The Wild Project.” One of these topics was how he celebrated his first MotoGP title.
The former Spanish rider recalled everything that went through his head and around him when he won the championship for the first time.
“Success makes us weaker if we don’t control it. World champion for the first time… and they call us from everywhere. At all parties and events, well, drinks here, drinks there… besides, success makes us more attractive, and money too. I was approached by many girls.”
He also added: ‘I gained four kilos. And when I gain weight, you can see it right away on my face and my belly. I arrived at the pre-season chubby and out of shape, and Álvaro Bautista came and gave us a hard time. My coach arrived and said to me “you have to get back in shape,” and we stayed in Qatar. They showed me Rocky movies. I ate soup, breast, chicken, and fruit. But in those two weeks, I lost three kilos and arrived in Qatar and conquered the pole position and the victory’.
