Next weekend the British Grand Prix will take place on the Silverstone track. A meeting which will be important for the Lorenzo-Honda couple who will have things to say to each other. Because if the HRC can understand and support the lack of results from its recruit in light of his physical misfortunes, his maneuvers behind the scenes to escape from his box will have to be explained. The Repsol Honda team manager, Alberto Puig announced the color by saying that he wanted to see motivation in Por Fuera's eyes. The Japanese are more casual. So technical director Takeo Yokoyama.
Alberto puig would he wield the stick and Takeo Yokoyama Would he dangle the carrot? We don't know, but on the subject Lorenzo, we still feel a sharing of tasks. One frames and the other reassures. Which means that there is a delicate problem that must be managed. Jorge Lorenzo will therefore return to Silverstone on an RC213V that he wants to remodel. A reunion since Assen, which is far away in the space-time scale of MotoGP.
Alberto puig declared that he did not expect great performances from his driver who will have to get his bearings again. He will therefore observe above all the attitude, the behavior, to convince himself that the flame is still burning. Takeo Yokoyama, the technical man at Honda, won't miss a beat. But he avoids putting the Majorcan in the hot seat: “ it's true that with Lorenzo, it takes longer than expected to be fast enough » comments the Japanese. “ Both for him and for us ».
« Due to his riding style, we expected his adaptation to our bike to be complicated. And on the other hand, it is not easy to make him a motorcycle that suits him. But the main pitfall is his succession of injuries » assures Takeo on crash.net.
« He didn't have time to really ride the bike, and as soon as he started to feel good, comfortable, something unfortunate happened to him. Falls, and more new injuries. We are in a negative spiral. But in life, when you come out of such a bad streak, then the best can only come. So that’s what’s going to happen soon! ". This is all the evil we wish them.
