Jorge Lorenzo experienced its worst Grand Prix season since 2005 last year and, given the start of the current year, it may not have hit rock bottom yet. Since he has been at Ducati, the only victory he can claim is the amount of his salary. A nice move which will not be repeated, which raises the question of its future while the contracts are being renegotiated. This weekend he will be from the Great of Spain to Jerez, a track he left with a third place in 2017, behind his compatriots in Honda, Márquez and Pedrosa. But before embarking on his national meeting, he responds to a critic who never misses him on social networks…
Por Fuera is not spared on social networks and even less so since he has become more present there since he put on a red jumpsuit. On the web, we never fail to remind the Majorcan of the epilogue of the 2015 season, which gave him his latest title in a finale where his then teammate, Rossi, had had problems with Márquez in Sepang. Which earned the Doctor a sanction for Valencia. A sentence supported by Lorenzo who had driven at the head of this last Grand Prix without being worried by Márquez. From this scenario was born the feeling that between the two Spaniards, a tacit pact of non-aggression and an objective alliance had been made.
An idea that continues, and we will not talk about the story of a “Map8” ignored last year… On this feeling, the five-time winner responds in the columns of the newspaper “Esquire”: “ The fact is that since Márquez arrived in MotoGP in 2013, the only rider who has been able to beat him is Jorge Lorenzo. We are the two best drivers in the world. Those who criticize are jealous. They prefer to criticize others than face themselves. If they used all that time doing something with their lives rather than wasting it criticizing, then they would experience the same success in life as the person they are criticizing. ».
On his salary, he specifies: “ what you take from the market is what the market gives you. It usually correlates with your results and it's the same in all sports as in life in general ". And it is true that upon arriving at Ducati, Jorge Lorenzo was the one with three crowns in nine years spent in MotoGP, with 39 pole positions and 44 victories. But since then, things have changed… “ If it were simple with Ducati, they would have more World Champions. It's not easy to fight against Honda or Yamaha who have enormous experience in this category, acquired after so many years. But when I'm good on a bike, everyone knows what I'm capable of ". Not a word about Dovizioso which, if we correctly understand the words of Lorenzo, definitely has a lot of merit…
