Jorge Lorenzo is currently recovering from an injury that damaged two vertebrae. A sensitive area with which it is forbidden to play, so much so that the new Honda official has given himself the time he needs to recover. A decision all the wiser as he had nothing to gain by continuing a season of difficult learning on the RC213V. The five-time World Champion only scored 23 points in this write-off campaign. But this question remains: in addition to the physical, would the mind have also been affected?
Jorge Lorenzo collected the injuries which disrupted him in an immense challenge which would have required an optimal level of form: that of beating the phenomenon Marc Márquez with the same motorcycle within his team. Diminished and in search of new sensations, Por Fuera was logically swept away. A complicated scenario from which he had barely emerged after two years spent at Ducati. Exhaustion would have been as moral as it would come as no surprise.
Absent at Assen then at Sachsenring, Jorge Lorenzo missed Brno and will not be in Austria this weekend. We should see him again at Silverstone from August 23. But the Majorcan fueled the chronicle. Rumors of retirement, rumors mentioning an attempt to return to Ducati… The rider never reacted directly to these comments, leaving Honda to take the lead. At most, on his social network, he gives news through photos…
But this time, it's his manager, Albert Valera, coming out of the woods. And he is as clear as he wants to be reassuring: “ This is not the first time he has found himself in a difficult situation. He will come back stronger than ever. We must view this negative situation as an opportunity to come back even stronger ». Valera is therefore also convincing. He adds on Super7moto: “ I can 100% confirm that this will continue. He has a contract until the end of the 2020 season and will respect it ».
Valera finished : " he has already started playing sports, especially in the swimming pool. He also started working out at the gym again with weights. He still feels pain, but he gets better every day ". There are still a little over two weeks left. Lorenzo before taking the necklace back.
