Jorge Lorenzo fell from a height at Termas de Rio Hondo. After the caviar served in Qatar, he displayed another look in Argentina. Good prince however, he only blames himself and if he has not found the key to shine this weekend, he hopes to find the hammer for the next one.
And this one will take place in Austin, where Márquez reigns supreme. The same one who gave Argentina plenty of confidence by taking its first victory of the season and taking control of the title race. Everything has to be done again for Por Fuera in this championship: “ I can't be satisfied. The conditions were not ideal, but they were the same for everyone. More or less half of the riders fell and the rest stayed on the bike. Not me » he regretted on crash.net.
« This weekend is to forget » continues the reigning World Champion in a press release. “ We had some problems during testing but despite that, we got a front row and I had a good start. But with these traces of humidity in certain turns, I was not comfortable. I think what happened is my fault. I made a mistake in the first corner which is complicated. I went a little wide and lost the front ».
« I wasn't comfortable enough to stay with the lead group. I saw them taking too many risks. And I wasn't patient enough to stay on the bike ". A clear and clear admission that feeds regrets when we see a Dani Pedrosa on the podium, 20 seconds behind his winning teammate. There, it's a zero point in the championship. “ It's a race, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. We must accept it and move forward, forget this race and look forward to what comes next. Normally, we ride in the dry and in the dry we are competitive ».
Having arrived as leader of the championship, the Majorcan now finds himself fourth in the provisional general standings with a deficit of sixteen points on the leader. Márquez whose closest pursuer is the Yamaha teammate, Valentino Rossi.
