The Balearic has gone from fall to fall, and in no case has managed to feel comfortable on a motorcycle with which only Márquez is able to win. That even led him to try to find a way out that would have meant breaking the contract year that still links him to the brand of the golden wing. The formula should lead him to get to Pramac in 2020 and then, depending on the results, return to the official structure of Ducati, although not before 2021.
Finally, Lorenzo, that after the accident suffered in Assen lost four great prizes, decided to stay in Honda, and at least doors out, promised to comply with the agreement signed at the time and also contemplates the next course.
Although the three-time world champion with Yamaha (2010, 2012 and 2015) has always publicly denied that the withdrawal has passed through his head, that possibility does not seem entirely ruled out if there is no obvious progression in the last seven stops of the calendar.
More from MotoGP:
In Silverstone, his comeback, # 99 crossed the 14th goal, more than half a minute from the winner (Alex Rins) and still very sore as a result of the spinal injury that drags.
And in the test that was carried out the following week in Misano, where this weekend the championship starts again, the Honda could only complete half a day of the two planned.
Of all this, Puig He spoke extensively on the podcast of the official MotoGP website, and offered his vision of the Lorenzo case and the present and future perspectives he sees.
“For Jorge it is a start again, but whenever he wants, he has the desire and motivation. To start taking risks again and to internalize that in this discipline you can harm yourself. It's like who jumps into the ring, ”says Puig.
“I do not believe that Lorenzo's problem is one of technique, but of courage and will. We would love to see him go as fast as it was with Yamaha, it would be a dream, ”adds the exciter, who says he has not surveyed the market in search of possible Spanish substitutes, in anticipation of a possible unexpected outcome.
"If he decided to break the second year of the contract, which is something we don't want, right now Sling It is not ready to replace you. We have not thought of any spare parts. But I also say that if that were the case, we would react and start looking for an option, even if it wasn't wonderful, ”Puig agrees.
The executive, in any case, has no problem in ensuring that, when it came to finding a pilot for Lorenzo's motorcycle, Johann Zarco would not be a viable option. “We offered Zarco the motorcycle and he said no. After all that, he came, apologized and dismissed his agent for not informing him of anything. In that sense he was like a gentleman and between us and him everything is clear. But from there to think about him, because not because our pilot is Lorenzo, ”says the head of HRC.
