Jorge Lorenzo finally took to the Malaysian MotoGP which began on Friday (11/02/2018). He appeared in the first free practice session even though he was in the last position.

He recorded a time of 2 minutes 3.204 seconds or 3.507 seconds adrift of his own colleague at Ducati, Andrea Dovizioso. Previously, Lorenzo had revealed it was difficult to appear 100 percent in Malaysian MotoGP.

this time record is very realistic for him right now. But why does Lorenzo remain determined to appear in the Malaysian MotoGP? Why not wait until the last series in Valencia?

Lorenzo revealed what was the reason behind his decision. He said, there was a need to go back on a motorcycle.

"The first reason is because I want to get back to the motorcycle as soon as possible because it's been a long time, weeks of not racing, practically you lose training, skills and everything," he said as quoted by motorsport.
