FIRST LOOK: Yamaha's 2014 Lorenzo, Rossi MotoGP livery
Jorge Lorenzo has provided 🦄a first look at this💞 year's 2014 Yamaha MotoGP livery, via social media (below).
The desig🌱n, to be raced by Lorenzo and team-mate Valentino Rossi, was revealed during a ceremony in front of Yamaha dealers in Jakarta - underlining Indonesia's importance in terms of motorcycle sale🍰s.
Again based on corporate colours, in the absence of a title sponsor, the lower part of the bike is almoꦆst identical to last year - but Yamaha has increased the amount of white on the upper part of the fairing and fuel tank (similar to the 2012 livery).

By contrast the rear fender now has more blue, creating a slender white line over the rear wheel. The front wheel fender has switched from white, to blue with a while line on top🔜.
No new sponsors ar🐼e listed, although these may appear closer to the start of the season. The main 'Yamaha' branding is however much larger than last year.
Aqu? la ten?is! Mi compa?era para 2014! / Here it is!! My partner for 2014! -- Jorge Lorenzo (@lorenzo99) "I would like to thank our hosts for making us so welcome and for their invaluable support to our MotoGP proje🅘ct. We now look forward with impatience to the first Sepang test in just over two weeks from now to start our 2014 title campaign."
Double world champion Lorenzo lost out on last year's MotoGP crown by just fouꦇr points to Repsol Honda rookie Marc Marquez, despite requiring double coll🦩arbone surgery - and missing a race - due to two huge mid-season accidents.
Seven time MotoGP title winner Rossi returned to Yamaha last season and clღi💛nched his first race win since 2010 on the way to fourth in the final standings.
Loren🌼zo and Rossi willꩵ ride with their new colours for the first time during the opening pre-season test at Sepang in Malaysia next month.
