MotoGP world champion and 2011 title leader Jorge Lorenzo🅘 may not have had the rumoured new engine to test at Estoril on Monday, but he still left a happy man after increasing his corner speed.

The Factory Yamaha Team told mahbx.com that rꩵ⛦eports suggesting a new M1 engine could be present were down to Lorenzo being 'misheard' and the Mallorcan - like team-mate Ben Spies - instead focussed his attention on a new swing arm and updated suspension components.

Lorenzo also took the opportunity to test new electronic settings and the 2012 Brid🧔gestone tyres.

The #1, who leads the world championship by four points from Sunday's winner Dani Pedrosa, set the second fastest time of the 🔯test, just 0.105sec behind Gresini Honda's Marco Simoncelli.

"I'm very happy with the te♔st we have done today," s🍬aid Lorenzo, who rode for a huge 91 laps. "Before I was not feeling as safe and as comfortable going into corners as I did last year and in 2009.

"Now we ha🍷ve found something with the chassis set up that works much better so I feel comfortable again. I think we can be faster with the corners now so I am looking forward to going to Fra♒nce to keep fighting for more podiums."

"A very successful test I would say," added team manager Wilco Zeelenberg. "It will b♊e useful for the rest of the season I'm sure. The most important thing we improved was corner speed entry and front-end safety so that's a double plus we can use at all tracks."

Lorenzo has taken 2-1-2 race finishes so far this year, but team-mate Spies has just a single sixth place to his credit🌊 after crashinဣg out of the last two rounds.

The Texan's Sunday spill came after a tool was accidentally left clamped to the fuel b💞reather pipe. Attempts to remove the tool resulted in a pipe coming lose, which Spies feared may be part of the braking system. The distraction eventually resulted in a fall.

Spies did his best to hit the reset button on Monday, when he rode for 69 laps and set the seventh fastest lap ꧒time, 1.2sec from Simonc🧸elli.

"It's been a decent day of testing for us after what happened yesterday," he said. "We started over today and I've been happy🉐 with the sessions.

"We learned somet💎hing later on this afternoon which I think is really going to benefit us in Le Mans that we haven't been able to try ♕before now.

"There was a good lap time improvement today, I did the best I could with what I had 𒈔so I'm looking forward t🅺o Le Mans to start fresh."
