The Grands Prix follow one another and are not the same for Lorenzo. Brilliant moments like the podium in Jerez and fourth place in Catalonia were followed by a modest fifteenth position at the finish in Assen, on a slightly wet track as he hates them.
The Sachsenring could bring him some comfort. He finished third there in 2006 in 250, before obtaining four second places in MotoGP between 2009 and 2012. The 2016 edition went averagely for him, who finished fifteenth, 1'17 behind winner Marc Marquez.
The Ducati is not that bad in general on the German circuit, and last year Andrea Dovizioso had finished third ahead of the other two Desmosedici of Scott Redding and Andrea Iannone.
For Jorge Lorenzo, “ After a difficult weekend in Assen, I can't wait to arrive at the Sachsenring to resume the positive trend we demonstrated in the races before the Dutch GP.
“The German track has a new surface and I am excited about that because, of course, it will help us to control better. We will have to see immediately what the tire wear looks like on the new surface, but in any case, the most important thing for me will be to regain a positive feeling with the bike and become competitive again. »
