Last year, we compared the trajectory of two riders struggling to adapt to their new motorcycle. Johann Zarco struggled on the handlebars of a KTM while Jorge Lorenzo discovered fear and pain on the saddle of a Honda. The first city, well before the end of the season, took responsibility by stopping the costs. But the second continued, until the last Grand Prix where he left through the front door. Before returning through the window in a Yamaha suit for a testing role. Two ways of seeing things and resolving the problems which led the Frenchman to make some clarifications…
Between Johann zarco et Jorge Lorenzo, there is a difference which is not only in the course of the career but also in the way of approaching it. The two-time Moto2 World Champion has demonstrated that he is not the type to rush through current affairs and procrastinate when things prove to be at an impasse. To the point of taking big risks for the future. The five-time winner was less carried away, but still came to the conclusion of failure.
There is probably no ideal recipe for resolving this type of dilemma. Everyone has their own requirements. Which ? Johann zarco raise one… “ I think he was more afraid of money than me. I think that's why he waited so long. But I don't have the same way of thinking as him » blurted the Avintia Ducati rider on Trademarks.
« Money worries me much less than him » insists the tricolor who even specifies: “ I had to apply for a loan to get my house. Jorge Lorenzo lives in a country where he pays little or no taxes. I live in France, I pay my taxes and I have a mortgage. I had many reasons to continue for the money, but I didn't. If I continue, it's because I think I can do certain things. » That’s it, it happened…
But Por Fuera didn’t stop there. He thus responded coldly to Johann zarco : " I don't like being involved in discussions that concern someone's economic management, everyone does what they can with what they have. But it happened and I’m involved…” So he replies like this: « I think you should seriously ask yourself how, after ten years of world championship, and after being a double World Champion and an official KTM rider, you will find yourself in a situation of paying for your house with a mortgage. »
