Meeting Fans in Bali, Jorge Lorenzo Mentions His Need of Miracles

JIMBARAN, KOMPAS.com - Jorge Lorenzo, the 2010 Motor GP world champion, said he needs a lot of miracles to win the main titles of the world motorcycle race in the 2011 season.

"I need a lot miracles to collect points in this season to compete with my strongest rival, Casey Stoner," he said here on Saturday.

Lorenzo admitted it was quite difficult to win the world MotorGP champion title this year.

"But anything can happen in a sporting event. So a miracle may well happen whereby I will win the title," he said.

He said if he again topped collection of points until the final series he had to think of the right strategies for the next season to beat his rivals.
