Jorge Lorenzo is therefore a man of challenge. Leaving his Yamaha cocoon to embark on a new adventure at Ducati, he did it again two years later and pitched his tent at Honda. This time, it's a certain Marc Marquez who collects titles like others the pearls he will have to face. The experience of his five crowns will be used to defeat the one who has two more. Por Fuera doesn't shy away from questioning himself. History looks at him, with the eyes of biaggi and Rossi… Explanation!

Red et biaggi were called during the official Honda presentation in Madrid, to put into perspective what awaits the Majorcan in 2019. First, it was the Corsair himself who invited himself into the dance on the airwaves of GP One. The latter in fact recalled that Lorenzo arrived at HRC in the same physical conditions as him, in 2005. He then injured his talus… Before the Sepang test! For Lorenzo, it's the scaphoid, a fracture that will keep him away from his new mount until Qatar.

As for the Doctor, however, it is the pilot that he placed as a reference: “ During my career in MotoGP, I have shared the box with only four riders: Valentino, Spies, Dovi and now Marc. The situation is quite similar to my MotoGP season in 2008. Valentino was in excellent form. He couldn't win the title in 2006 and 2007, but he fought. Now this situation is repeating itself: I drive for a new team, Marc is a very good teammate. He is a multi-champion and knows motorcycles well ».

He continues on Tutomotoriweb : " It's not easy to get used to a new bike and find the right feeling. But during the tests in Valencia and Jerez I felt very good, although I was not fit enough to drive the way I wanted. Marc has a huge advantage in this area, but I think I can learn a lot from him ". A sharing which had been refused to him by Red in his time, the Italian preferred to put up a wall in the Yamaha stand.
