MotoGP: Jorge Lorenzo currently has an injury every 40 days

Jorge Lorenzo is experiencing one of the most important periods of his prolific career. After a long lease at Yamaha, he moved to Ducati for a two-year fixed-term contract before embarking on a major challenge with a third manufacturer, in this case Honda. In front of him, the best of the moment and in the walls since his debut in MotoGP: Marc Márquez. To face so much adversity and unknowns, you have to be at the top of your game and your form. Precisely, this is where the problem lies…

Because at the same time, if his sporting journey is exciting, the one imposed on his body is at the limits of resistance. It seems that Por Fuera has decided to make its entry into history among the Grand Prix winners with three different manufacturers as difficult as possible...

Since Aragon, it is indeed a dangerous dark streak that the Majorcan is experiencing. During this Grand Prix, he fell at the first corner after an eventful start with Marc Márquez. He got up crumpled but a few weeks later, he was thrown from his then faulty Ducati during testing for the following meeting, in Thailand. An accident which definitively sealed his end of the 2018 season and his history with the Borgo Panigale firm.

The winter should have been invigorating, but, towards the end of the off-season, the five-time title winner found himself in the infirmary, this time with a scaphoid damaged during training. It was in this convalescent state that he resumed work on a Honda to be discovered. The Qatar Grand Prix has arrived, the 2019 campaign has been launched, and on the Losail track on Saturday, Jorge Lorenzo fell twice. He still raced the next day, finishing thirteenth with persistent pain that he had checked out. Verdict, a cracked right side!

The site Tutomotoriweb did the math: from the Grand Prix of Aragon to that of Qatar, around 160 days passed, during which Lorenzo regrets four injuries. That's an average of approximately one injury every 40 days. At the end of March the Argentine Grand Prix will take place.
