Speaking about Pedrosa, believe it or not he might present in Australia despite the collarbone fracture he suffered this past Friday in Japan during the practice for the Although he won't be able to fight for the title, since Lorenzo's 297 are impossible to reach with just 100 points left to dispute in the next four races, he still has a shot to finish the championship in second place, which is occupied by Dani Pedrosa with 228 points. These two wins are his first ones of the season, and have helped him to consolidate in the third position with 180 points. Last year's race was won by Australian rider Casey Stoner –Ducati Team-, who has performed at a great level in the past two races – Japan Grand Prix and Gran Premio A-Style de Aragon- to finish in first place. Last year's race is just an example of how rain is a common factor on this racetrack, when the riders had to wait over 30 minutes until the heavy rain yielded.This racetrack is known for being long and modern, and where dealing with the rain is something very characteristic of it. Besides having the opportunity to witness Lorenzo proclaim himself as the champion, the 2010 Shell Advance Malaysian Motorcycle Grand Prix will also have a special celebration, as this will be 20th anniversary of the competition, which hosted its first race in 1991. Three years later Lorenzo finds himself at the gates of another title, only that this time there is a big difference: it would be his first Moto GP championship. This racetrack brings good memories to the Spaniard rider, since this is where his second Moto2 championship was accomplished in 2007.
As the 2010 MotoGP championship comes closer to an end with just four races left –Malaysia, Australia, Portugal, and Valencia- , Jorge Lorenzo will have his first chance to crown himself as the champion if he wins in Sepang. A victory in the Malaysian Grand Prix from Lorenzo would decide the MotoGP championship in his favor.
