MotoGP: Jorge Lorenzo “Racing at the Sachsenring will be very difficult, but I will give it my all”

The reigning Yamaha champion is still not fully recovered from the broken collarbone suffered in Holland

MotoGP: Jorge Lorenzo “Racing at the Sachsenring will be very difficult, but I will give it my all”MotoGP: Jorge Lorenzo “Racing at the Sachsenring will be very difficult, but I will give it my all”

Jorge Lorenzo arrives at the Sachsenring after his feat in Assen, when he raced just 36 hours after fracturing his collarbone, managing to be the protagonist and finishing the race in fifth place. Now comes the difficult part, in fact the collarbone is not completely healed and the German circuit certainly won't help him, being very tortuous. Furthermore, it is not even one of his favorite tracks, but the Majorcan will still try to give his best. The word is up to him."

“Racing at the Sachsenring will definitely be difficult after the crash in Assen. It's true, in Holland we achieved a surprising result both for me and for the team and also for the championship, but I have to be realistic and I still have a long way to go to recover from the broken collarbone. I made a huge effort to race in Assen, obtaining a fifth place that no one expected. Now I need more time to heal 100%, but I'm pretty confident I can have a good weekend. I had almost ten days to stay calm and improve my physical condition a little. However, it will be difficult to fight like I did in Holland. The track is not one of my favorite tracks, but at this level it doesn't matter where we race. I have to give everything in every race.”

    Lorenzo's is not an excuse,
    for the apology we know who the grand vizier is, he pulled her "shoulder" for 2 years

    In 2011, Dani Pedrosa won while it was still half broken, certainly the accident with Simoncelli had occurred much earlier than that of Lorenzo, besides I don't know if it was the same shoulder, it also depends on this, if you break the one that is put most under effort you can't expect to get first places.

    PS. Rossi made the excuse of the shoulder for about 6 months, 3 too many, but he did it to give Ducati time to bring innovations to the track which instead did not arrive or rather arrived in the form of a half evolution i.e. the GP11.1, a mix between the first GP12 and the GP11, a bit like what they are doing now with the Laboratorio bike, which is half a GP13, obviously like the previous unsuccessful one.

      …but do you really believe in what you write? In practice, did the geriatrician take time with the excuse of the shoulder to help Ducati? I have to visit the site more frequently to make myself laugh more than usual ahahahahahah!

        Dear fatman, I know you don't like Rossi but for half the season in 2011 you attributed most of Ducati's non-competitiveness to him and his shoulder, rather than spitting on the plate he was eating from, given that they had promised him evolutions that would have made the competitive motorcycle, but that wasn't the case and he slowly lost patience. The same thing is happening to Dovizioso now and partly to Hayden who is tired of racing with the CRTs.

    Are you taking example from that inept expert?

    Rossi's injury was much more serious than Lorenzo's... In Lorenzo the bone was involved, in Rossi other things were involved (I remind you that the doctor who performed the operation declared that he had a 90% damaged tendon, and that the situation was very serious)…

    It wasn't an excuse, I've experienced it myself and I know what it means...

    I also remind you that Capirossi finished third with a broken hand, Rossi raced with a wrist fractured in several places...Do you remember when he returned after the injury in Mugello?. Not to mention the endless things that Pedrosa and Lorenzo himself did...

    Lorenzo did something very great, there is no question of this... But it is comparison that is neither in heaven nor on earth...

    Don't be like the inept person.
