Jorge Lorenzo is back on track and did it in Misano on the occasion of the ProDay, organized in collaboration with Vmoto Soco, which opened its shop inside in the paddock of the track named after Marco Simoncelli Michele Pirros Garage 51. Lorenzo rode a Yamaha R1 and we took this opportunity to interview him on various topics.
From the possible agreement with Aprilia at the beginning of the season to his comment on the decision by Vinales, who also talks about the future of MotoGP with eight Ducatis on the track from 2022. As always, Jorge was direct, precise and absolutely on the ball when he expressed his ideas about a world in which he has played the role of the undisputed star for years. But now MotoGP is a thing of the past, at least in the role of the rider.
“It’s a closed chapter, now I want to enjoy life – said Lorenzo about MotoGP – when you’re in a top sport you have to think about it 24 hours a day, give up a lot of things and be very focused. It takes sacrifices, but now I don’t want that anymore. I’m lucky, life was good for me and I want to enjoy it because we only have one. “
Jorge also spoke to us about the missed agreement with Aprilia and gave his opinion on Vinales, a rider who, despite riding with Yamaha since 2017, has not been able to become world champion.
