The Lorenzo runs, he runs, like the ferret that we saw pass by here, at Ducati and which will come back that way, perhaps at Yamaha. An incredible saga which is enough to make his current employer Honda, who is observing the situation, go crazy. Because it's not just the rumor, there are also the actors.
