Jorge Lorenzo returns to the spotlight as MotoGP flies to Malaysia for re-entry testing at Sepang. He takes advantage of this exhibition to remind us that he was the last Yamaha World Champion for too long. A status which had in fact lasted since 2015 and which Fabio Quartararo crossed out in 2021. Which leads Por Fuera to some reflections…
Jorge Lorenzo said a word about the situation of Yamaha in MotoGP. Certainly, he notes with satisfaction that the brand has rediscovered the joy of celebrating a drivers' world title. But he worries a little about how this happiness came about. By that, mean that he was primarily concerned with the talent of a man rather than the general quality of the machine, even if the base of the M1 is still excellent...
Public chat Moto sprint, he puts things into perspective: “ it was difficult for Yamaha to consolidate at the top, but this year they found a driver who fits very well with the style required by the M1. Either a very fast and very explosive driver like Fabio Quartararo ».
Jorge Lorenzo: “ with Fabio more mature and more complete and Marc perhaps not as physically strong as before, we would have a lot of fun«
An exceptional pilot who, however, cannot hide this evidence highlighted by Por Fuera: “ The M1 continues to be a very complete and versatile motorcycle, although it probably hasn't been developed as much as Ducati has been able to do with the Desmosedici over the last five or six years. Finally, Yamaha and Fabio managed to win. After so long, they deserve it ". Because both have experienced a period of scarcity, a gap in their Grand Prix career.
Subsequently, the same Lorenzo said: “ in 2019, the year which was the best for Marc Marquez in terms of results, Quartararo fought with him for victory in some races, even if he did not succeed in winning. Now with Fabio more mature and more complete and Marc perhaps not as physically strong as before, we would have a lot of fun ". And to conclude on what awaits us this year: “ it will be a spectacle ».
