After retiring to the Maldives, Jorge Lorenzo never missed a minute of the MotoGP tests that are taking place in Qatar. Today he wanted to share his opinion on his social media profiles, there are still two days of testing missing.
Between jumping into the crystal clear water and looking at the time display to see what Lorenzo thinks about the various drivers.
Jack Miller: “Qatar has always been a friendly track for Ducati’s traits and Miller took advantage of this by having very good pace and being very explosive on the flying lap. At the moment he is the strongest Ducati rider and is favored for the first race.”
Fabio Quartararo: “On this last day he was the driver who drove the most laps under 1’55”, which shows his excellent pace. He seems more comfortable with the M1 in 2021 than with the 2020 and this time focused more on the race pace than on the flying lap.”
Maverick Vinales: “Yesterday he was the driver with the best pace after Quartararo. We have seen it many times before Maverick does not achieve the expected results after some promising tests in the race, so we hope that this time he will get off to a good start and calmly set his pace. “
Pol Espargarò: “He was without a doubt the biggest surprise of these tests. Pol has always been a very talented and aggressive driver, but honestly I didn’t expect him to be Honda’s best straight away. Well done! ”
Joan MyR: “He is the champion and therefore my favorite for the championship, which does not mean that he is also the favorite in Qatar. Perhaps because of the long straights and its characteristics, this track is not the best for Suzuki and also for Mir, but I expect him to fight for the podium. “
Alex kidneys: “The pace and speed are very similar to his team-mate. For both nine laps under 1’55 “. This year we will face a great rivalry to find out who is in charge. “
Miguel Oliveira: “I expected a lot from the KTMs, but Qatar may not be the best track for them. Miguel is definitely still the strongest, as he proved at the end of last year. “
Valentino Rossi: “It was probably not Valentino’s dream test, but Rossi is a driver and will have two days of testing to catch up.”
Jorge Martin: “First contact with MotoGP is by no means easy, especially with a powerful and aggressive motorcycle like the Ducati. It was 1’4 “on the first day and 1’8” on the second, maybe because he still lacks the experience to use the potential of the tires on the flying lap. “
