Lorenzo to wear Iron Man helmet at Indianapolis

Yamaha insurance customers tuning in to the MotoGP race at Indianapolis this weekend will see that championship leader Jorge Lorenzo has modelled his new helmet on Iron Man.

Lorenzo won last time out at the Brickyard wearing a helmet inspired by Captain America, so the Spaniard is looking to continue with the comic book theme this year.

Holding a 77-point lead at the top of the standings, Lorenzo is the clear favourite for the title, but he knows he must be careful not to push too hard and make any mistakes.

He told the MotoGP website: "Obviously I want to win, nobody in the world wants to lose, but I also have to be careful.

"Nobody knows what will happen in a crash; you could be okay or you could injure yourself."

Tech 3 Yamaha rider Ben Spies has also revealed that his move to become Lorenzo's teammate on the factory bike next year will be officially confirmed this weekend.
