MotoGP: Jorge Lorenzo proud as Jerez corner named in his honour

Two-time MotoGP world champion Jorge Lorenzo reveals his pride at having a corner named after him at the Jerez circuit in Spain.

The Yamaha rider tells BBC Sport's Azi Farni the renaming of the circuit's final corner, previously known as 'Ducados', "means more than being MotoGP champion" as so few riders are honoured in this manner.

Lorenzo is currently level on points at the top of the championship, external with fellow countryman Marc Marquez, with both claiming one victory each in the opening rounds of the season.
