Lovely to see him smiling he looked awesome on the 2016 bike, glad it felt good, day two not quite so quick but only limited time to get the settings right , Jorge smiling gives the haters something to think about eh #evilsmile ! Ha ha

Moto GP needs as many competitive riders as possible so it's good that Jorge is gelling with the Ducati, it would be great to arrive at Valencia 2017 with 3-4 riders in with a chance of the title.

Yes, I have mellowed a little in regard to Jorge's exit from Yamaha after the testing, he now looks as though he has some chance of being competitive/something to work with and has not been forced somewhere where he is doomed from the get-go as Rossi was (in terms of being doomed rather than being forced) when he made his similar move in 2010.

The commentators during testing said, that when Vale tested the Ducati he knew within 4 or so laps he had made a big mistake. ..

I am so excited to see Lorenzo on the Ducati next year

I already can't wait to buy a new jumper..... hahah

It was good to watch the testing. Jorge looked very very smooth (as ever) on the Ducati and it was interesting to see that Vinales had the Yamaha snaking around under brakes a la Marquez.

Agreed, ace to see Jorge smiling

Of course he is all happy and smiling.

I was going to make this my profile pic....I still might even though I'm not his fan.
I don't think I've ever seen him this happy for such a long period of time. Usually it's just for one day

This time it was the whole weekend, 2 days during test, even on photos from Milan with Shark event and in Madrid with some other sponsor. He looks like a different person when he is relaxed. Good for him.
