Jorge Lorenzo is stuck in a large hotel in Dubai by the coronavirus which has closed the borders. We must hope that the same coronavirus does not throw him out with a closure of the establishment, for example... In the meantime, he lives comfortably confined and like his pilot contemporaries indulges in conversations about his career, his life, his environment . For example on Fabio Quartararo…
Jorge Lorenzo is a three-time MotoGP World Champion with a factory Yamaha to 504 Grand Prix victories. A record for which he worked since the Mallorcan brought back 44 success against 56 for Valentino Rossi. A strong bond that has been reconnected. Indeed, Por Fuera is back in Iwata, with the status of test pilot. This after a parenthesis with Ducati, punctuated by three victories, and Honda, marked by falls, injuries and an end to his career as a starter.
In the organization chart Yamaha put in place, Jorge Lorenzo is no longer a centerpiece. Priority is given to Maverick Vinales and fabio quartararo. And it is with the French that Jorge Lorenzo has the best relationships in the world: “ we have mutual sympathy, he is very kind, without malice but on the track he is transformed and he is very competitive » comments the five-time winner. “ He has had talent since he was a child but for whatever reason until last year he couldn't demonstrate it. »
« He did it at the right time, in MotoGP. I don't know if it will be Márquez's great rival. Who imagined last year that he would be here or what Dovi did in 2017? I see it stronger than in 2019 and MotoGP has a margin of surprise. But there was a lost opportunity because Marc would have suffered the first race " finished Jorge Lorenzo, referring to the physical state of the eight-time World Champion and the level of his Honda displayed during the tests in Qatar.
