If Valentino Rossi would not miss for anything in the world attending the start of the Moto3, if only to monitor his troops and get an idea of the duration of the red lights, Jorge Lorenzo did the same thing in Qatar with the Moto2 .
Asked by Eurosport about his prediction for the winner of the race, the Mallorcan driver hesitated, said it was difficult, then declared “peut-être Luthi”.
It was not an obvious prediction because the Swiss driver was then classified 10th on the grid…
Clearly, Jorge Lorenzo was in a state of grace in Qatar!
