Ahead of the Gran Premio Movistar de Aragon at MotorLand Aragon, Movistar Yamaha MotoGP duo Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi came face to face with their counterparts on a different kind of two wheels - Movistar cycling team's Nairo Quintana and Alejandro Valverde. Colombian Quintana recently won the Vuelta de España cycling event and was joined by his teammate at this pre-event with a difference to kick off the next round of the 2016 MotoGP™ world championship, comparing some notes and getting a glimpse of life on the other side of two wheels - with some serious horsepower.
Lorenzo and Quintana previously met this season on a rest day during the Tour de France, when the reigning MotoGP™ world champion went for a ride with the Colombian. At MotorLand after the initial reunion, the cyclists were shown around by their horse-powered counterparts and all four of the riders did a little note-taking from both sides before heading out on track to take on the 5.1 kilometer venue, with Rossi and Lorenzo on their Yamaha M1s and the cyclists on their bicycles.
