It was a crumpled but recovered Jorge Lorenzo who joined a Yamaha box well before the checkered flag dropped. The fault lies with Andrea Iannone who once again stood out unfavorably by carrying out a hussar attack on an opponent. And as always, the affair ended on the ground.

This time the Italian attacked the leader of the world championship who was trying to collect points in a complicated event for his interests in the title race. A top 5 would have satisfied him given the circumstances. Then came Jo the Maniac who threw him into disarray.

And to think that not long ago, the same Iannone swore he would team up well with Por Fuera at Ducati because he is convinced he has the same riding style. We know what happens next. But now, he has attracted the wrath of a Mallorcan who is legitimately annoyed by the turn of events: “ fortunately, I was not seriously injured in the collarbone and hip » begins the teammate of a Red winner for the tenth time in Catalonia.

He pursues : " What's incredible is that after the fall, rather than admitting his responsibility, apologizing, he asked me if something had happened to my bike. It's always like that with him. He blames bad luck or others, he never has anything to do with it ". The race direction sanctioned Iannone by telling him that he will start last on the starting grid for the next Grand Prix in Assen. News that did not calm down the five-time winner: “ it's not sufficient. He will race, gain positions. He should have been punished by banning him from starting the next Grand Prix. Here we play with our lives ».

Arrived ten points ahead of Márquez in Montmelo it is with as much delay on the same as Lorenzo leaves Catalonia. While seeing Red come back strong in his aspiration.
