Jorge Lorenzo's situation at Honda is being watched closely by all those looking for a good plan for the following season. In the event of defection of one or the other party, it will be a question of jumping at the opportunity before the flood of potential candidates currently locked in by obligations until the end of 2020. And not at the end of this season. Every word counts because it can give a trend or reveal a signal. Here are the latest from the one we are listening to, Alberto Puig.
Alberto puig is the team director Repsol Honda and the situation of his troops is theoretically simple: both Marc Márquez which Jorge Lorenzo are linked to his team by a two-year contract. Which will therefore end at the end of 2020.
But in practice, it's more complicated. Mainly for Jorge Lorenzo. The RC213V transplant does not take away from his driving style, and repeated injuries have eroded his mentality. The desire to escape came to light during an Austrian Grand Prix which heralded a resounding return to Ducati. Since then, between Honda and Por Fuera, it's a kind of "I love you neither" exacerbated by a Johann zarco who has freed himself and is waiting on the side of the road...
After a Grand Prix in Aragon which was a new suffering for a Jorge Lorenzo who took two seconds from the lap by his winning teammate Marc Marquez, the boss on the side of the track Alberto Puig said : " the negative point of this Grand Prix is that Jorge Lorenzo is not having a good time with our bike. We try to help him as much as possible. We know he is intrinsically strong, but unfortunately, things are not going the way we would like in these last few races. »
« We need to find a different solution for the next Grand Prix " finished Albert Puig. The key is to know what he means by that... The next event is a Thai Grand Prix in Buriram which will mark the start of an overseas tour of four meetings.
