Lorenzo is obviously keen not to underestimate Ben. Probably wise

Yea, Jorge is a pretty smart cookie, he knows Ben can ride and race, and last years results on the satellite bike prove that. Yamaha have a good bike for every circuit....even if down on power a little compared to the competition.

Both of them are giving very carefully scripted responses. I wouldn,t take too much out of this.
Ben says Jorge is the fastest rider, but we all know that he thinks Casey is the fastest, because thats what he told Jumkie.
Well that would be correct sir.
However, I don't think its too scripted as Lorenzo and Spies are honest and straight up. I think we've become to expect the 'mindgame play' from a former Yamaha rider that we automatically assume there is some posturing from title contenders. Ah, we are a cynical bunch, eh. If only everybody spoke without double meanings.

I don't think it's "scripted". It's just diplomatic fluff - a show of corporate unity etc.
After all... you don't expect Lorenzo to say... naahh, he's too green and inexperienced
to be a serious threat just now. I'm not really worried.
