The first season of Jorge Lorenzo with the Ducati has been his joker and, this year, he will have to be worthy of the five titles acquired in his career, including three with Yamaha in MotoGP. Because for the moment, the Majorcan has remained dry with the Desmosedici, a drought of success never experienced since the 2005 campaign. In Qatar, for the launch of the season, he certainly had to abandon following problems. brake problems which he has nothing to do with, but, before falling, he was only tenth. This weekend, in Argentina, he is expected around the corner.
There is no longer any indulgence for Por Fuera, whose immediate entourage believes they have done a lot to give him the means to succeed. Especially since the teammate Dovizioso continues its harvest of victories started since mid-season 2017. Finally, the time has also come to renegotiate the contract with Ducati. Or not.
Arriving at Termas de Rio Hondo, Lorenzo wants to be determined: “ after the disappointment in Qatar due to a technical problem that will not happen again, it is important to get back to work because I feel that I am close to finding something on the bike that will suit my riding style ". It should be noted that the Spaniard always talks about bringing the red bike to his style rather than taking the path towards it, which many would like him to understand at Ducati...
« I will work with my usual involvement and I am sure that we will end up having good results. It's even possible in Argentina because I never think about whether a circuit is motorcycle-friendly or not. I always arrive with the idea of winning. Everything is possible in MotoGP and this season will be very long. So you have to be positive ».
Last year, Lorenzo had held on for the count with Iannone and the best result brought back from Argentina by Por Fuera was a third place in 2014. On the Yamaha.
