In two Grands Prix, Jorge Lorenzo has only scored six points and this after two races won with authority. It is nothing to say that the Por Fuera course this season is not a long, quiet river, and even less so when the route turns into a stream, like in Assen. A situation all the more complicated since, during this time, Marc Márquez discovered the soul of a grocer to better lead the championship. We must therefore govern this weekend for the Mallorcan.
Certainly, but there is a problem: Jorge Lorenzo has never won in MotoGP on the Sachsenring, a tortuous circuit which Hondas are particularly suited to. But this year, some data could change all that. And in particular on the side of a new asymmetrical front Michelin tire: “ The Sachsenring track has always been a challenge for both the Yamaha and me. I never won there. But this year, with the new electronics and new tires, you never know ».
And then there will also be the weather. But the teammate of Valentino Rossi don't dwell too much on a point that becomes delicate for him when he gets wet. However, he is not traumatized by his last performance in the Netherlands: “ I wasn't expecting such a difficult race at Assen, but we were still able to save some valuable points for the Championship. We now arrive at the race which will tip us into the second part of the season. We need to go on vacation with a good result in mind. This year, each race is a discovery so let's wait and see what this one has in store for us ».
Jorge Lorenzo is second in the championship and he regrets 24 points behind the provisional leader Marc Márquez, he does not shy away from his 18 lengths ahead of Valentino Rossi.
