Jorge Lorenzo's latest performances in the Grand Prix are cause for concern. Before armed with a hammer, here he looks like pliers so much so that he needs a turn of the screw to find the key to his problems. Especially since the grip is tightening in the championship.
There are only six Grand Prix left and 64 points behind a Marc Márquez imperturbable already seem prohibitive. At Silverstone, Por Fuera caused a lot of concern by delivering an anonymous performance on dry ground. The fault lies in poorly chosen settings and an uninspired pneumatic option. Misano, this weekend sounds like the moment of truth.
Because another failure at the San Marino Grand Prix would be resounding. The route of Misano is perhaps geographically that of Valentino Rossi, but in terms of results the Mallorcan is also at home: victories in 2011, 2012 and 2013, second in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2014. It's almost a perfect copy! “ Silverstone was another disappointment » recognizes the five-time winner. “ We suffered throughout the meeting and ultimately made bad choices which more than penalized us. But there's no point dwelling on it ».
« Misano is one of my favorite tours so let's see what it has in store for us. All we have to do is work as hard as possible to get the best possible result. I'm not thinking about the championship because, at the moment, things are already complicated enough as it is ". Even on a dry Misano, another failure would undoubtedly definitely cause Lorenzo to take on water.
