MotoGP: Is Jorge Lorenzo already toast at Honda for 2021?

In just under eight days, Silverstone will host a new round of the MotoGP championship. A meeting which should mark the great return of Jorge Lorenzo to his Honda. Injured two vertebrae, he missed Assen, the Sachsenring, then the back-to-school races in Brno and Austria. However, during his convalescence, he did not remain inactive in negotiating his future elsewhere than at HRC. The return to the official team of the Tokyo manufacturer therefore promises to be special. It is even said that, for 2021, Por Fuera would already be toast…

The maneuvers updated on the sidelines of Austrian Grand Prix will leave traces. Even if Jorge Lorenzo took it into his head to deny any attempt to escape from the Honda Repsol box, there would still always be this precision from the Pramac Ducati team declaring “ honored » of the interest shown by the Majorcan in his case. A team which, incidentally, has always said it prefers Jack Miller. Since confirmed for another year.

There were therefore discussions, at the very least, between Lorenzo and his former employer Ducati. The same approach has also been speculated on the side of Petronas Yamaha, but with much less vigor. Still, the damage would be done. At Honda, it would be bad and distrust would now be in order. It would be certain that Jorge Lorenzo would have no chance of being Walls after the 2020 season.

This unless the same Lorenzo suddenly finds his way to the podiums as an honorable amends. Which would be quite a turnaround. Otherwise, negotiations can already begin for the position of crew member. Marc Márquez in 2021. Incidentally, the latter is also considering the renewal of its lease on the RC213V. But in this case, Honda is in a completely different state of mind... HRC, on the contrary, wants to build loyalty for its phenomenon!
