Austin, MotoGP, J3: Jorge Lorenzo betrayed twice in two days by his Honda

It's a bad streak we're going through right now. Jorge Lorenzo. The latter must adapt to a Honda that is very different from his previous Ducati which was already far from being identical to his old Yamaha. As if this difficulty was not already complicated enough, he experienced the pangs of the injury and now it is his RC213V which is acting up. In Argentina, he had some problems. In Austin, her motorcycle betrayed her on two occasions in two days…

At Honda, we have a problem that Austin has updated. Marc Márquez, who was recovering from his retirement following a fall, declared on the three abandonments registered with the HRC that “ it was no coincidence. We are looking for the cause of an electronic problem ". An assessment confirmed by the unfortunate Por Fuera: “ During the race I only had increasing technical problems. There were malfunctions on the bike before the retirement. When it happened, I parked the bike, but this time the causes were different from those on Saturday during the second qualifying session ».

So it wasn't the chain that jumped... But for Lorenzo, it’s the same thing: “ it was a very difficult weekend in all respects. I didn't get a good start, but then I made up a few positions. It was still disappointing. The only positive is that I felt pretty good during the race at a track like the Circuit of the Americas, where I usually have some problems. We now wait for the Spanish Grand Prix in Jerez. It's a track that suits me very well and where, we hope, we will be more competitive ».

Lorenzo started eleventh in this Grand Prix of the Americas which ended prematurely. Here he is seventeenth in the championnat with an unfortunate seven points after three races…
