The adventures of the Argentinian race almost made us forget a Jorge Lorenzo who was the first to ignite the fires of controversy on the first day spent at Termas de Rio Hondo. His remarks towards a teammate Dovizioso which would undermine the mural at Ducati had not gone unnoticed before the storm Marquez Sunday sweeps away everything in its path. Where are we on Por Fuera's adventure with the reds before leaving for the next getaway to Austin?
Between Lorenzo and Ducati, we are still waiting for the click. During the warm-up, we reviewed the ailerons on the Spaniard's Desmosedici. And when it was time to take stock of the Argentinian Sunday evening, we put it fifteenth, 20 seconds behind a Dovizioso who can consider his sixth place as a miracle, when it is the GP17 of Miller who held the house of Borgo Panigale, with a well-deserved fourth position.
SO ? Ducati first negotiates with Dovi for 2018. Afterwards it will be the turn of Lorenzo. A meaning that the Majorcan himself would have wished for. Because he first wants to perform well before launching into talks: “ I'm really focused on making the Ducati-Lorenzo pairing work he insists. " And I am convinced that it can do it. So that's my goal ».
« I haven't had any luck so far, but that can't last forever. In Argentina, with the track dry, I was able to try the wings again. And I think that on a wet track, I would have performed just as well. But a mixed route like we had is the worst thing for me. So I was very slow. After 6 or 7 laps, I was in the same rhythm as everyone, apart from Marquez who was riding a second faster than everyone. I finished the race, which is positive. During the last ten laps, I was good. We'll see in Austin where I hope to finally have some success ».
