A dry track, a Lorenzo with a Yamaha on a Silverstone track that he likes. This Sunday could have been a great day for Por Fuera who nevertheless played anonymous in this edition of the British Grand Prix.
But where had gone? Jorge Lorenzo this Sunday ? The rain was not there at Silverstone which did not prevent the future Ducati official from playing absent. The Majorcan remained dry during this English meeting. Starting ninth with a soft front tire and a hard rear, he had not followed the option of a teammate Red who had set his sights on a hard front and a medium rear.
In view of the result, an error: “ The weekend was difficult because we didn't find a set-up that I was comfortable with on the bike. We tried a different configuration for the race, which we hadn't tested during the warm-up, and it was a gamble that didn't work out. I had a lot of vibration at the rear and I had to reduce my cadence. ".
Here he is now 64 points behind the leader Márquez in the championship and 14 points behind Red his challenger. There are six races still to go and each additional meeting causes Por Fuera to fall from Charybdis to Scylla. The time even seems to have already come for taking stock and apologizing… “ We have a lot of problems with the tires this year and I hope that Michelin will be able to solve these problems for next year ". Looking forward to 2017 already for Lorenzo?
