Pressure builds up in the Premiere Class of the top world series as the last round will decide who wins the 2013 title. After Lorenzo and Yamaha kind of accepted defeat three rounds ago, Marquez' black flag and Lorenzo's good riding rekindled the battle and it's all down to the Valencia round this weekend.
If the rookie is the 4th rider to see the checkered flag at Valencia, he wins the championship, but this can be easier said than done considering the pressure and his lack of experience.
Even more, as Lorenzo himself told motogp.com, Yamaha has absolutely nothing to lose, but everything to win, and the Mallorcan will not abandon fight until the very last inch of track before the finish line.
Even though they've been rivals for quite some time, Rossi is keen to do his best to help Lorenzo push Marquez back, if possible. The Italian has his 4th place secured no matter what so once more, nothing to lose and everything to win for the team.
He will also fight for the podium and this might hinder Marquez, especially if Yamaha gets the front row of the grid and Rossi can keep up the pace with the Honda machinery. Pedrosa is not laid back either, and we've seen Alvaro Bautista riding better and better in the last races, so things are indeed iffy.
So prepare for a crazy Spanish weekend with a fierce battle to be enjoyed.
