Jorge Lorenzo’s analysis highlights the stellar performances of certain riders like Marc Márquez and Jorge Martín, emphasizing their strong form and alignment with fortunate moments in the competition. Lorenzo points out the challenges competitors face against such formidable opponents, yet notes the potential for surprises, particularly from the experienced Pedro [Pedrosa].
Lorenzo also comments on the frustrations experienced by several riders, including the six-time world champion, Marc Márquez, who has faced setbacks in recent races despite his competitive spirit. This, Lorenzo suggests, affects Márquez’s prospects for the world title negatively, but he remains optimistic about Márquez’s comeback and eventual demonstration of his capabilities.
The veteran racer Dani Pedrosa is also a focal point of Lorenzo’s commentary, admired for his skill and tenacity at 38 years old, competing at the level of the best without regular world circuit rhythm. Lorenzo’s respect for Pedrosa’s ability to stay competitive in such a demanding sport despite his age is a testament to Pedrosa’s dedication and innate talent.
Lastly, Lorenzo discusses the controversy at the Jerez Grand Prix, particularly a racing incident involving Binder and its implications for Pecco Bagnaia, describing it as a significant frustration and injustice. This incident has sparked debate among riders, teams, and fans about racing ethics and the role of authorities in regulating the sport.
“For me, without a doubt, the only one who could have prevented the fall and that triple touch would have been Binder, without trying that overtaking with so little space that was there and without taking into account that there were two pilots very close to him on the outside. Race direction has decided that Binder’s action was not punishable. And the one who has taken the worst part has been Pecco. A frustration and a quite large injustice. Bad start to the World Championship for the double world champion.”
