And two! Valentino Rossi was the first to sound the alarm at Yamaha, hoping to wake up the engineers dedicated to the development of the M1. Here is now Jorge Lorenzo's clarion call on the eve of a Japanese Grand Prix at Motegi. Yes, Yamaha let itself be caught up by competition which worked in the right direction. If the Doctor diagnosed Honda as a threat, Por Fuera associates Suzuki. Not bad for a future Ducati rider.
It was a very cheerful Jorge Lorenzo who confided in MotoGP.com. However, he is coming off a defeat in Aragon, a site conquered by Marc Márquez who gave himself a little more air in the general classification. Here he is 66 points behind the Mallorcan and 52 points behind the man from Tavullia. But, at the same time, Lorenzo reduced his gap on Rossi to 14 points. As we can see, the title is no longer the objective of the two Yamaha riders who are focused on their duel.
Too bad for the three tuning forks who seemed to be on another planet at the start of the campaign. But the others worked hard while on Iwata's side, we let the advantage slip away. An idea strengthened by the five-time winner: “As for electronics, we will have to find something because Honda and Suzuki have caught up with us. However, Motegi is a good track for Yamaha. We should be able to have a good race there. I feel strong. We overcame a difficult situation in Aragon. I can’t wait to go to Japan.”
He pursues : " This year, with the Michelins, we're having a bit of a crazy season. Performance varies a lot. But Michelin will progress and we will end up having fewer falls and stability in the hierarchy”.
On this, the Spaniard returns to his latest helmet: “In hot weather, the white shark is always ready! In Aragon, it ultimately brought me luck. I was expecting a complicated race, but in the end, it went quite well”.
