Jorge Lorenzo throws down the gauntlet to Valentino Rossi 

Jorge Lorenzo, in an interview with Ansa, issued a challenge to Valentino Rossi: "Valentino Rossi è has always been a great opponent for me. Competing against him even on four wheels would be an interesting challenge. So far there’s been no opportunity but if I had to choose one competition in which I would like to compete against him I think it would be the 24 Hours of Le Mans".

“My choice to continue taking to the track è related to the fear of boredom, after my retirement from MotoGP I cannot deny that I missed the adrenaline. The differences between cars and motorcycles? On a motorcycle è it’s easier to keep your attention up. While the greatest difficulty concerns the tires: those on the car are less smooth and I had to learn to calibrate the braking well" added the five-time world champion.

Meanwhile, Lorenzo will be busy this weekend in Monza, at the fourth round of the season of the Porsche Carrera Cup Italia with Q8 Hi Perform.
