MotoGP, Loris Reggiani: “Lorenzo facing Marquez on the same bike will not be a winner”.

In 2019, a team will bring together a historic pair in its box. For what ? Because, between them, the drivers present will represent no less than twelve world titles... Something to rejoice for Honda which will still have to manage the egos of Marc Marquez and Jorge Lorenzo. Some predict a duel at daggers drawn. With a possible Por Fuera surprise. But others assure that everything will be as usual. That is to say with a dominant Marc Marquez…

A trend expressed by the former pilot Loris Reggiani. The latter was the Aprilia epic. Winner of eight Grands Prix, he was the 125 world vice-champion of the 1981 season. A status that he regained in 1992 when he was in the 250 category.

A priori, he therefore knows what he is talking about. And on InSella.it, he expressed his feelings about the couple Marquez-Lorenzo... " It is said that the unknown at Honda next year will be Jorge Lorenzo. Honestly, I don't believe it. I certainly expect Lorenzo to be quite competitive, but not a winner. In my opinion, you cannot beat Marquez with the same bike. I can't see Lorenzo doing it. I don't see him competitive to win a world championship, at least in the first year ».

He insists : " Marquez is psychologically so strong and so convinced of his own abilities that he needs no stimulus ». Lorenzo will therefore be trampled like the others… But then what about Dovizioso who, for the moment, does not have the same motorcycle? “ he lacks nothing. The Ducati is not even missing anymore. Dovizioso's problem is Marquez, but he's everyone's problem. Since joining MotoGP, he has never lost a world championship title, except in 2015. It's a bad time to win the world championship if your name is not Marc Marquez ».

Certainly, but in 2015, the title was taken away by Jorge Lorenzo. On Yamaha.
