Jorge Lorenzo has returned to the fore, a state of grace which has lasted since Mugello where he found his way to victory. A path he traveled again in Catalonia, riding a Ducati which until then rejected the Majorcan transplant. But the GP18 has apparently changed, becoming, according to Por Fuera's expertise, the best Desmosedici that ever existed.
Implied, this outcome is of its own making so that at the same time, it pushes back Andrea Dovizioso in the dark. An approach which was confirmed during the remarks made during the post-Grand Prix press conference, reuniting him with his podium companions Marc Márquez et Valentino Rossi : " we are great champions, and among the best in history. You have in front of you three guys who have won many championships and made history for years in MotoGP, and that is a blessing for the sport ».
The absent and the untitled are thus stooges. On his current bike, he comments using the red period of Valentino Rossi : " I think Vale's Ducati was more complicated. At least that's the impression given from the outside. But for me, this current Ducati is the best that has ever existed. So as Vale is a great driver, he could also win with ».
This prosperous period for Lorenzo also influences his relationship with the Doctor, which seems particularly relaxed since Mugello. That said, there are limits: “ I think that off the track, we could share some nice moments, but we will never be friends. Above all, we are rivals with strong characters who want to win. The main thing is respect. I respect Valentino Rossi and I think it's mutual ". A mindset that the Yamaha official confirmed.
