Jorge Lorenzo was in Milan yesterday doing a little promotional work for his sponsors and also gave an interview to sport’s daily Gazzetta dello Sport (who accused Valentino Rossi of overtaking Andrea Dovizioso under a yellow flag, causing a big debate and where they finally proven wrong).
Lorenzo admitted that the index finger that he injured during warm-up practice only hindered his French GP occasionally under braking, but it wasn’t the reason that kept him off the podium for the first time since Motegi 2010.
Asked why he thought the Yamaha’s struggled at Le Mans, a track where historically the Japanese manufacturer has always done well, the reigning World Champion sincerally replied that they don’t what happened, but currently there are no longer any certainties even on tracks that were once favourable.
Since Lorenzo knows that many are insinuating that these current problems could be tied to the fact that former team mate and rival Valentino Rossi is no longer doing the development work in Yamaha, the Spaniard decided to get a little dig in “We have to ride fast and give feedback to our engineers who then have to work it out.
If this is relative to me, then I wonder why Valentino is struggling, does Ducati need Stoner?Returning to the safety issues regarding Marco Simoncelli’s riding, Lorenzo said, “I like Marco , but at the moment he can cause problems on track.
It happened to me when I debuted; I crashed so many times and the year after four times.
I learned.
With experience you understand that before risking you can sometimes wait.
