Indeed, told MCN earlier this year, Lorenzo said that the results of the 2010 season this might be the cause of Rossi's Yamaha decided to leave, and received a contract high of Ducati. Moreover, "The Doctor" also had a broken leg injury at Mugello in early June, which makes his chances to retain the title vanished, as well as its position as the number one Yamaha rider will shift.
Yes, it must be admitted that the appearance of Lorenzo during the 2010 season is very intriguing.

Now, Lorenzo 58 points ahead of Repsol Honda rider Dani Pedrosa, with the remaining five races.
Therefore, do not be surprised if quite a lot of issues surrounding odor that wafts Rossi's decision to leave. However, Doohan denied.
"I do not know if it (the performance of Lorenzo) that suppress Rossi to make the decision to move. Rossi has long been a top rider in the show and certainly there's always someone else who appeared in several stage, and Lorenzo did a great job," said Doohan told MCN.
"Whether true or not that he profited from the presence of Valentino as a teammate, I'm sure he got it. I suspect the other side of the story is how he will overcome Valentino? Will the motor development can be as good as this?"
"But, no doubt, he was a young boy with a good driving style. Valentino knew he would beat Nicky so he can focus in an attempt to beat the other riders, including Lorenzo."

"We made our position secure. The race was too fierce and tough. You do not need to do this, especially when considering the situation for the championship.

"There is no implication of error (which is done Rossi), although the Race Direction should intervene. But a rider can be very aggressive, or too aggressive. Valentino too aggressive.

"From the point of sport, it might be more tedious and less spectacular (without a war like this). But we do not want the rider was thrown into the gravel. We expect riders to respect each other."

Although ultimately only finish fourth, Lorenzo position atop the standings while the more secure. The Spaniard, who confirmed that it will stay at Yamaha until 2012, can confirm themselves as the new premier class world champion at the weekend in Sepang, Malaysia.
