Jorge Lorenzo is now a happy young retiree, but he remains up to date with the world of Grands Prix which he likes to comment on from a YouTube channel. A family passion since his father Chicho does the same. The fact remains that this reflection, which is the fruit of careful studies of information, leads to conclusions which do not necessarily appear obvious when we are still in the heat of the action. So, since he has taken a step back, the five-time World Champion realizes that the world he knew has been turned upside down. Is the continuity of a Valentino Rossi or the return of an Andrea Dovizioso then to be admired or interpreted as unconsciousness?
His career is certainly not as long as that of a Valentino Rossi but Jorge Lorenzo is already a retiree who is coldly analyzing his former world of MotoGP. And on the Official website discipline that will still keep us in suspense with a second Grand Prix at Misano which will be rich in emotions and commemorations, he delivers his observation which he wants thus without appeal: “ compared to ten years ago, the world of MotoGP has completely changed ».
To illustrate this conviction, he brings his arguments. Jorge Lorenzo remembers for example the time when, in the premier category, there were the so-called Claiming Rule Teams (CRT) in addition to the factory teams and factory satellite teams to present numbers on the starting grid: “ the difference with the fastest rider and bike was around four to four and a half seconds at the time he recalls. " Today, the entire field comes together in seven tenths of a second. It's incredible ».
Jorge Lorenzo: “ this has never happened in the past«
Por Fuera adds: “ in terms of performance, all bikes are currently capable of getting on the podium and even winning. This has never happened in the past. This shows the great work that Dorna has done little by little to create this balance on the ground ».
The three-time MotoGP world champion, who ended his active career at the end of the 2019 season, thus puts his finger on an essential development in the Grands Prix which undoubtedly makes the winner more deserving, but which, also, brings to more tense situations in the fights which are increasingly taking place within compact groups.
