Fiat Yamaha’s Jorge Lorenzo and Monster Yamaha Tech 3 pair Ben Spies and Colin Edwards, arrived to a special showing prior to the Red Bull U.S. Grand Prix this weekend, the trio visited American television personality Jay Leno’s private garage to look at his extensive car and motorcycle collection.

Lorenzo was also a guest in the audience whilst filming Leno’s ‘The Tonight Show’, and then united with his fellow MotoGP competitors, along with legends Eddie Lawson, Kenny Roberts and Wayne Rainey as guests of Leno, who showed his private collection of over 200 cars and motorcycles to the champions.

Americans Spies and Edwards had the pleasure of their families present, the rookie spoke of his aim for a second podium of the year amongst his home crowd at Laguna Seca, while Edwards was keen on receiving updates to his YZR-M1 engine. Championship leader Lorenzo is looking for more good results after having crashed at the track in his debut premier session in 2008 and arriving third last season.

Leno was given a Yamaha superbike which included a Troy Lee designed helmet, incorporating the designs of Lorenzo, Spies and Edwards.  Alpinestars leathers were also a gift to the presenter, whose collection was instantly impressed the racers.

They all then enjoyed a dinner presented by Yamaha in the comfort of Leno’s garage.
