It's nothing to say that Jorge Lorenzo is having a season with ups and downs. A start to the campaign so discreet that it discouraged his employer Ducati from keeping him, then a series of victories which shook things up to the great joy of a Honda factory at the time, then now an end to exercise placed under the sign of injury. So many challenges that made Por Fuera stronger. Moreover, he warns: all this will be useful to him at HRC in the face of a certain Marc Marquez...
The Mallorcan's CV speaks in his favor: five titles, nine fruitful years at Yamaha, a two-year obstacle course in the Red Army, and the next step at Honda alongside the phenomenon Marc Marquez. He comments: “ I'm far from my comfort zone, I had to reinvent myself to be even faster. It gave me abilities that I didn't have before that will probably help me in my process of adapting to the Honda ».
It develops : " I also kept Ducati well informed on what the bike needed to be even more competitive. The team had to work in areas they didn't know before, like the chassis and the first gas intake. Until then, everything was based on electronics and motor ».
Jorge Lorenzo adds that his first test on the Honda planned for the Valencia tests next November should be a revelation: “ It’s sure to be a shock. Just look at the size difference compared to the Ducati. The Honda is much smaller, but it will have its pros and cons ».
