Motomercato, Lorenzo in 250 with Elias and Rolfo in MotoGP with the M1

Jorge Lorenzo could race in 2005 with Team Honda Fortuna alongside Toni Elías. The Spanish driver would move up a category regardless of his final classification. Lorenzo, who won at Assen, has the sympathy of various teams and would like to pass

to the quarter of a liter like his compatriot Barbera.

Lorenzo, whose contract expires this year, could also continue in 125 even if his primary objective is to ride a 250. The Spanish rider could take Roberto Rolfo's place in Dani Amatriain's team (Lorenzo's manager) given the possible category jump for the Turin native in MotoGP on a Yamaha M1.

Lorenzo's other option depends on Aprilia's future. The Venetian company could be purchased by Ducati or Piaggio. In this case Lorenzo could race with Aprilia, although the latter hypothesis seems less likely.

Then there is the future of Manuel Poggiali and Fonsi Nieto to decide, two drivers who feel mistreated by the Venetian company. Next year Alex de Angelis should be the first guide. Poggiali could therefore join Cecchinello's team or with Aspar.
