This question would have been the priority for Jorge Lorenzo who entered the Misano parc ferme at the end of the last San Marino Grand Prix. A question relayed by GP One. Certainly the response did not reassure Por Fuera who will wear red leather in 2017.

Between a versatile Ducati which is not given to the first comer and a Jorge Lorenzo who likes docile machines accompanied by ideal weather to express his art, we don't know what this will give once the couple is formed. We could almost see the marriage of the carp and the rabbit in this fable. A leap into the unknown which the Majorcan has become aware of, knowing that walking the golden bridge erected by the Borgo Panigale firm in his honor will have its downside.

The Ducati won in Austria, but in Misano where it trained, it could only hope for a top 5. Furthermore, it failed with a Andrea Dovizioso, certainly reduced, but still sixth: “ even though Misano is one of our test tracks, its particularities do not suit our GP16. Our goal is to make a motorcycle that is easier to ride, more agile, turns better and is gentle on the rider. ».

At Silverstone, the GP16 exhausted its two drivers. So where did the Ducatis end up at Misano? Sixth at almost twenty seconds. It's another studious winter that awaits the genius Gigi Dall'Igna.
