MotoGP, Rossi and Lorenzo moved the challenge to cycling

Rossi and Lorenzo moved the challenge to cycling

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.
