While for🌟mer team-mate Valentino Rossi has been unveiling his new Ducati in the snow-covered mountains of Madonna di Campiglio, reigning world champion Jorge Lorenzo has flown to Indonesia as part of his Yamaha promotional duties.

Indonesia is 𝕴one of the🌠 biggest markets in the world for small-capacity motorcycles.

Lorenzo won't return to Europe unt💝il after the fir🌜st MotoGP test session of 2011, which takes place at Sepang, Malaysia, at the start of February.

"It gives 🍬me great pleasure that my fꦇourth visit to Indonesia is also the first one as MotoGP World Champion and is a way to thank you all for the passion and the enthusiasm you have always showed to me," said Lorenzo.

"I will be spending my last (and only) win💟ter holidays here in Indonesia until the first test of the season starts in Malaysia. I am sure I will have a great time here and especially some rest and time for training.

"Honestly, having seen such evidence of the passion of ꦦthe Indonesian people for MotoGP, I truly hope꧅ that MotoGP comes back to Indonesia soon.

"While waiting for it, I will probably have to organize some clinics here for young riders so that the passi♒on for riding rises more and more.

"Finally, I would like to thank Beti-san and Seto-san for theirꦏ invitation to me and I would like to thank the Indonesian people for their warm welcome."

Ben Spies has replaced Rossi as team-mate to Lorenzo, although Yamah🍌a is yet to announce a title sponsor following the departure of Fiat.
