The first day at Sepang for tests which mark the start of MotoGP in 2017, was not a good surprise for the newcomer to Ducati Jorge Lorenzo. While his current teammates Stoner and Dovizioso challenged each other to see who would finish at the top of the timesheet, the five-time World Champion had difficulty getting off the bottom of the rankings. No, definitely, a Ducati is not a Japanese motorcycle.
In Por Fuera's comments, we felt a certain disillusionment with this hitherto taboo subject of the change in style that Desmosedici was going to impose on him. A profound challenge that many have failed to achieve. Of Valentino Rossi à Marco Melandri. Even if it was a different era for the reds. Because today there is a Gigi Dall'Igna who knows the Mallorcan very well and who went out of his way to install him in his box.
No one doubts that all the engineer's energy will be focused on adapting Lorenzo to his bike. In the meantime, Lorenzo can count on the compassion of his teammate DesmoDovi: “ he is suffering more than he suffered in Valencia but I am not surprised because it is a radical change for him. His performance at Sepang is not important. This is what will happen in the first Grand Prix that is. He shouldn't panic. It's just a matter of time ».
