A striking new contrast characterized the Repsol Honda box at the finish of the Thai Grand Prix. On one side a beaming and ecstatic Marc Marquez celebrating a ninth victory this season which was the icing on the cake to put on an eighth career Grand Prix title. On the other hand, Jorge Lorenzo, whose presence was barely noticeable, regretted that his brilliant teammate was more than 54 seconds behind, for a ranking which gave him the penultimate position...

The objective of Jorge Lorenzo, given his overall condition, is to reduce the gap with the leading men at each Grand Prix until the end of a lost season. But Por Fuera can't do it. The Grail of 30s repeated several times was not there Buriram. We were even more at the borders of the minute... An abyss for someone who has won five championships in his career.

At the microphone of “Sky Sport”, Jorge Lorenzo said : " it was difficult, but for everyone because it was very hot. The truth, however, is that we could not improve the bike and the confidence in the race, so the result is very disappointing. »

The Spaniard then continued: “ I can't stop the bike on the brakes and we don't see any improvement. We must continue to resist and find a solution to these problems and try to do better in the next races »

He finishes : " I believe I can express myself in the best possible way in all situations. This situation is not psychologically easy, because even if I try to do my best, I cannot improve the results. It's not easy to accept, but there's nothing to do but try again. »
