MotoGP | Argentina GP Race: Lorenzo, “Today's conditions were the worst for me”

MotoGP GP Argentina Ducati – Black weekend for Jorge Lorenzo, who closed the Argentine Grand Prix in fifteenth position, collecting just one point in two races.

The Majorcan was never able to be competitive throughout the weekend. First the lack of direct access to Q2, then the terrible result in qualifying which forced him to start from the fifth row, then the worst conditions arose in the race, and the lack of feeling "forced" him to float in the lower part of the classification.

These are the words of Jorge Lorenzo: “Today's conditions were the worst for me, the ones in which I'm most uncomfortable: having to drive with slick tires when the asphalt still has wet patches. Furthermore, starting from the fifth row certainly didn't help me and, in the middle of the group at the first corner, I tried to avoid falling like what happened last year. Afterwards I tried to recover some positions and, when the track finally dried completely, I started lapping with good times, something I hadn't managed to do all weekend and my feeling improved. I leave Argentina on this little positive note that gives me the motivation to get to Austin and find a way to finally be fast.”
