Jorge Lorenzo in Italy experienced his worst qualifying session with Honda this season. Then race, he dispatched current affairs to take the points for thirteenth place. Never, since he has been on a Honda, has he entered a top 10 in a race. Meanwhile, his teammate Marc Márquez keeps the entire MotoGP field in check and builds his eighth title by never coming off the podium as long as he sees the finish. Precisely, he is the only Honda driver who can do this, and Por Fuera insists on this exception…

In this sense, Lorenzo is looking forward to the arrival of the new fairing that HRC has specially developed for him in Japan. This new element will be tested on June 17 during post-race testing in Barcelona. Will the story experienced at Ducati repeat itself? Starting this week, Por Fuera will be in Japan, at Honda headquarters, to work directly on the ergonomics and aerodynamics of the bike in the wind tunnel.
An attention that seems to annoy Marc Máask who commented at Mugello: “ I also want a better bike. We are always looking for an easier bike, he hasn't tried the 2015 and 2016 Hondas, they were difficult machines. But before you ask to change motorbikes, you must ride in front”. To the wise...
