Jorge Lorenzo is a professional Spanish Grand Prix motorcycle road racer who achieved fame at a very early age after winning five world championships. Competing in professional racing since his early teenage days, he went on to win the 2006 and 2007 250cc World Championships. He then started competing in the MotoGP class as part of the Yamaha team and has already won three titles and has finished as the runners-up three times. He recently ended his longtime association with Yamaha and switched to Ducati for the current season of the MotoGP race. His multiple premier class title wins made him the first Spanish racer to achieve this feat. Throughout his career, he has won 65 races, which places him fifth on the list of all-time winners in the GP motorcycle racing. He supported the Oxfam international confederation's initiative to assist the victims of the 2010 Haiti earthquake. He has worn sponsored protective gear from Dainese for most part of his early career, following which he started to represent another brand, Alpinestars. He endorsed the smartphone racing game, ‘Zopo Speed 7 GP’, made by Chinese company Zopo Mobile.
