If we start from the principle that there is no smoke without fire, we must consider this rumor setting the MotoGP paddock ablaze, which has nevertheless entered its summer break. A rest which will be relative for managers and team directors. Because the idea of a future retired Jorge Lorenzo is not nonsense. The proof: Even Marc Márquez comments on it…
And for good reason… A pilot of the size of Jorge Lorenzo who leaves his place would open up quite a space for all the pawns on the MotoGP chessboard. A place within the Repsol Honda team alongside the World Champion and current boss of the category is no small thing. Especially when the same Marc Márquez has a brother Álex who wants to join the elite. And who has won four of the last five Grands Prix. Consistency allowing him to currently lead the Moto2 championship.
We will also remember that Marc Márquez has already declared that having his brother Álex as a teammate in MotoGP would be a dream. But beware. Between dream and reality, there has always been a gap. The one who made it happen for the tenth consecutive time on the Sachsenring comments: “ I think that when Álex enters MotoGP, he will have to choose a bike that he will feel good with. At the moment, my brother doesn't have a place at Honda and even if there was one in Lorenzo's place, I don't want to disrespect Crutchlow or Nakagami. I don't want to know anything about these things ».
Not knowing anything of course, but that doesn't stop us from speaking very favorably about Álex on GP One... " I'm happier for my brother than for myself » said Marc about his brother's success in Moto2 at Sachsenring. " After Assen, he could take the hit mentally, but he stayed focused and didn't lose his way. When we returned to Spain, he told me that he was worried about losing more points here in Germany, because it is not a circuit that has given him so much satisfaction in recent years. I told him this year it would be different and everything went well. Álex reasoned well during the race, he is the fastest and most consistent in Moto2. I'm happy for him and I must say he was very solid. We will both go on vacation happily ».
