MotoGP hostilities will resume not this weekend but the next on the Assen track which follows an emotional Catalan Grand Prix. The death of Luis Salom in Moto2, a controversy over the corrective measures taken by a safety commission which could see his status change, then a race marked by Rossi's tenth victory at Montmélo, the abandonment of Lorenzo and the return to the lead of the title race of a Marc Márquez reconciled with the Doctor… In the Netherlands, it will therefore be the meeting after!
A meeting that will be special and also because the peace pipe seems to have finally been smoked between the man from Tavullia and the citizen from Cervera. A situation that MM93 commented on MotoGP.com : " I had already said it after the Valencia race, my hand was ready. It happened late, but it happened and that’s the most important thing. I have no problem. You know, for me, the rivalry is the same with all the drivers. On the track, I want to beat my teammates, my friends, and of course everyone else. Ultimately, as drivers we need to have a professional relationship because we take a lot of risks on the track ».
And this rivalry will be declared again on a Batavian track on which he will especially have to battle between the two Yamaha officials. A duo of tough guys with different qualities: “ on the track, when Lorenzo is having a big day, he is really very fast. He is stronger than Valentino. For me, Lorenzo is faster on a lap but on the other hand, Valentino has a lot of experience, he knows how to take advantage of any situation. He is very hard to beat when he has a good race. Even when he's not the fastest, he manages to be there, at the front. He is very regular ". So it won't be easy. And all the more so since, for the moment, his Honda is not really helping him…
