MotoGP Brno: Jorge Lorenzo “I tried to win but I didn't make it”

The Majorcan loses five points to his compatriot from Honda

MotoGP Brno: Jorge Lorenzo “I tried to win but I didn't make it”MotoGP Brno: Jorge Lorenzo “I tried to win but I didn't make it”

Jorge Lorenzo had a great race today in Brno and at one point he even thought he had won it. After a duel that lasted the whole race with his compatriot Dani Pedrosa he had in fact managed to overtake him on the last lap with a masterly manoeuvre; However, the Honda rider did not give up and overtook the Yamaha rider from Mallorca. However, Lorenzo is still at the top of the world championship with a 13 point advantage over Pedrosa. The word is up to him.

“I tried to go away but Dani Pedrosa was strong in braking, while I was superior in some corners. This wasn't enough to try to escape and at a certain point he passed me. The pace then dropped a bit but then we started pushing hard again and when you feel the victory is so close you try. I thought I could do it, but instead I made a mistake on the climb and he took the opportunity to take the best line. Now we have a 13 point lead, it will still be tough because Pedrosa has matured a lot, he is very consistent and always scores points. Our bike is going well, we are struggling in some places but tomorrow we will try a new frame. However, the important thing is to always finish on the podium and not make mistakes."

        What does Rossi have to do with this?

        He goes to eat bread and Nutella, he goes cerebral anorexic.

    2. in fact... I hope that in the next races Pedrosa puts the wheels in front of him... Because Lorenzo is good but he has little class...

        I'm a Rossi supporter too, and probably for a long time
        time before you, and I don't think that Lorenzo has no class!
        Then what does this statement mean, he doesn't dress fashionably?
        But please…

        I don't know if he has any class in his bearing, certainly if Lorenzo doesn't have any, Rossi isn't classy either, on the contrary, off the bike he's a land hoe.
        On a motorbike, in my opinion, Lorenzo has immense class, both in how he rides and in how he manages races and the championship. He always manages to give his best without ever losing sight of the real objective which is the title.. Lorenzo is a great among the greats and I especially like that he has become so through defeats.. he has forged himself in the body body losing several against Rossi, and he has become tremendously concrete and not prone to falling after the first year of MotoGP he fell so many times, hurting himself very much... truly a super rider

    He was good but in the end the trajectory proved Dani right. At least no important points were lost with a fall. And then it was nice to see them compliment each other on the bike at the end of the duel. Things that I haven't seen some other drivers do.

    I'm a Rossi fan, but to say that Lorenzo has no class is like blaspheming!

    Of course, you have to take some risks and put more points in your bag.

    This year Pedrosa is very fit and mature (ahead of Stoner even before the injury), Honda in fours and fours pulled the rabbit out of the hat which made it dangerous again. Rossi also mentioned the Honda-Yamaha difference, remember?

    You close the gap with your wrist but…, don't underestimate either Honda or Pedrosa; you would be making a big mistake: 5 races for 7 points = 35 points.

    Eye…

    Congratulations for the final tussle, in an anonymous race you livened up the finale and we were all "on the couch".

    Well done and congratulations again.

  • next year Rossi will bump you in the penultimate or last corner, be careful Lorenzo!

  • I hate it so much when they talk badly about Rossiiii

    MSC Cruises what do you want????

    I think so ok????

    A champion is never fooled at the last corner when he is first... and in the same way he was fooled by Rossiiii in 2009

    PURE hypocrisy….

    Before everyone said Rossi was the best Rossi was the best now that he doesn't win due to a wrecked unrideable motorbike they say Rossi never had class he never had class...

    but have you and all those who speak badly of Rossi ever seen his career??? I do not think so…

    Lorenzo has nothing to do with Stoner or Rossi and perhaps not even with Pedrosa for that matter...

    He only won one World Championship because the team raced without Rossi in 2010 and then we see in Sepung who mocked him with all the injury and the leg that couldn't hold and won... a very tortuous GP.

    In 2011 he let the world championship slip away like a chicken, due to many mistakes and then because Stoner was there who had the Honda which was at the same level as Yamaha...

    Yamaha inherited by Rossi, in 2010 and 2011

    There is no difference between him and Gibernau.
