This weekend at Silverstone, Jorge Lorenzo will not hope to relive a Trafalgar blow. Like a good Sunday rinse which dissolves a talent negotiated at 12 million euros per Ducati if we refer to KTM's speech.
Rain is not expected in Great Britain but between the treacherous Albion and the showers, there is a close relationship that can never be taken lightly. A real risk for a Jorge Lorenzo who sees in the drop a sort of kryptonite. But it's Márquez which he himself described as Superman. The fact remains that the Majorcan will truly play the rest of his championship this Sunday at Silverstone. Already 59 points behind, another failure will mean the end of the game.
He will have to deal with an M1 frozen in its evolutions since it is heading towards Ducati and facing a Valentino Rossi teammate who logically has Yamaha's full attention. Everything seems against Por Fuera who arrives on a track which has already won him three times in MotoGP. What to do again: “ after two consecutive races in Austria and Brno, here we are in a situation which was not the one we wanted. But we can't change anything about that ».
« From now on, I'm going to take each race as it comes, trying to get the best result possible with each passing day. Silverstone is the next event and we are going to do our best while trying to rediscover the pleasure of driving. It's one of my favorite tracks but the weather is also unpredictable. We'll see what happens there! »
The reigning World Champion achieved success at Silverstone in 2010, 2012 and 2013, making him the driver with the most victories since the site returned to the calendar. In Brno, he experienced problems with his front tire on a track going towards the dryer but assures that before that, he had regained good feelings in the wet. It will be recalled that during the tests which followed, Yamaha did not submit the new features concerning the chassis and the swinging arm which convinced Valentino Rossi.
