Last weekend in Catalonia, Jorge Lorenzo came into the spotlight. But not like last year, when he was on the top step of the podium at the finish. No, this time, there was a lot of talk about him after the pileup he caused in turn 10 of the Montmeló track on the second lap of the race. An incident which loosened tongues about other events…
Two confidences made by Jack Miller et Cal Crutchlow, reveal a Jorge Lorenzo boiling from...the heating cycle. A behavior that the Pramac Ducati rider comments as follows… “ Jorge is absolutely out of control in the warm-up laps, it's ridiculous. At Mugello he made a dangerous move against me. At Jerez, he almost hit his teammate on the warm-up lap at turn six ».
The Australian finishes: “ he needs to calm down in the warm-up laps. This means he pushes too hard on the first lap with cold tires. I don't know why he does this, but I think it's just stupid. There's no reason to do it ».
For its part, Cal Crutchlow adds: “ It's just his style, it's always like that. He qualifies quite far back and is still ahead in the warm-up lap. Up to ten pilots pass there. It's like that. He does a good warm-up lap ". We would detect a hint of irony in the Englishman who also specifies: “ Viñales does quite similar things, he is in his race before the start "...
