MotoGP: Honda does not hide its concern about Lorenzo

There will therefore only be one Honda in the colors of Repsol Honda in this Dutch Grand Prix which marks the eighth meeting of the season. Jorge Lorenzo is indeed out following his violent fall on Friday on the Assen track. Two vertebrae were affected, and it is the most serious injury in a bad series which has lasted for eight months. Honda, officially, is worried.

Six injuries in eight months, this is the harsh medical assessment presented by Jorge Lorenzo. His adaptation to the difficult Honda only suffered. Currently, the three-time MotoGP champion has only 19 points and is in 15th place in the general classification. Lorenzo will miss at least the German Grand Prix at the Sachsenring, but Brno and Spielberg are to be dotted.

Por Fuera is therefore going through the worst period of a career which has lasted for more than 17 years. Meanwhile, Honda can't just rely on one bike going forward. Because HRC also plays for the constructor's title and the team award.

On this situation, Alberto puig wanted to be very clear: “ we don't start to worry, we are worried » declared the Repsol Honda team manager. “ But that doesn't change our approach. Jorge needs time to get used to the bike and we hope we can help him do that. That's all we can do, it's Honda, we support him and do what he wants us to do. This is the task of a professional team like HRC ».
