Jorge Lorenzo fled Europe as soon as the lights of the last Grand Prix of the season in Valencia went out. An appointment which was also his last as a professional pilot. He had taken the plane and his quarters near Bali for a dream life. Then he went to show off at his former employers Honda in Japan before returning to the old Continent. And now ?
It's hard to convince ourselves of this, but we will have to do without Jorge Lorenzo. A hell of a void which can be explained as follows: the Majorcan has been in the world of Grands Prix for 18 years, including twelve in the MotoGP category. He has 297 appearances to his name, more than half of which ended on the podium since the latter number 152. He has triumphed 68 times and signed 69 pole positions. He won the world title five times.
A beautiful journey which ended after a season of pain spent at Repsol Honda which would have been the gamble too many. At 32, he still has a lot of time ahead of him. What will he do with it? For now, it’s still a mystery: “ life isn't just about being on the bike. There are plenty of things to do. Many people make a living from this sport. But there are millions of people who earn their money elsewhere. At the moment, I'm not worried about the future. I have ideas, I have passions. But I haven't planned my future life yet. » However, the time for resolutions for the next year is approaching…
