Back-to-back victories at Mugello and Catalunya have taken reigning MotoG♏P champion Jorge Lorenzo to🤡 within seven points of Dani Pedrosa and the 2013 title lead.

Feeling 'stronger than ever', Factory Yamaha star L💝orenzo is determined to keep the heat on Honda riders Pedrosa and Marc Marquez during this weekend's Dutch TT.

"Well, I'm quite happy after winning at Mugello and also Montmel?, two important victories for both me and the team for the Championship. We were in a very good shape these l🌺ast two races and I feel stronger than ever and 🍒really hungry to win," said Lorenzo.

"I think in the last two races we made a quite big step on the bike to get the consistency on race pace. Assen has been my favourite track ever. I love the ci𒉰rcuit, historic, quick and very flowing, but also I love the landscape, the ambience and I have always liked the country.

"I am very mꦿotivated to go there and try to keep this line of winning, even more after our good test at Barcelona and Aragon, when we achieved sꦕome improvements for the future."

Assen 2012 was arguably theꦐ low point of Lorenzo's seco🦄nd title season. The Spaniard was taken out at turn one by Alvaro Bautista, destroying an engine in the process.

"I hope Assen is giving us a little bit more than last year, the rac𝄹e was very short!" admitte๊d Dutch team manager Wilco Zeelenberg. "We have to forget that now; last season at Assen we learnt that you might also need a bit of luck during races.
