This third place has a much better flavor than, because we finish very close to the winner and we fought until the last moments.

Site analysis : Finally a successful race for Jorge Lorenzo since his arrival at Ducati, after his in very different conditions. This time, the Mallorcan not only did almost the entire race in the lead (Marquez overtook him at the start of the 16th lap), but he only bowed to the two Honda officials and managed to save the 16 points. from third place, 2,028 sec from the winner! And he finished first Ducati rider, far ahead of the GP17 of his teammate Dovizioso (7th at 7.455 sec).
This fine performance – started on the front row for the third time this season – confirms his progress briefly demonstrated in Misano, when he started in the lead before finishing flat on his stomach. Lucid, Lorenzo knows however that his performance is largely due to his choice of the soft rear tire, when most of his rivals were forced to opt for medium, even hard rubber for Marquez, Rossi and Viñales. A bet for which the n ° 99 knew the consequences: "we knew that we would have more trouble in the last laps and that’s exactly what happened, it was difficult to stay in 1’49 to follow the rhythm of the Honda ", he reports.

"Aragon was not necessarily a track that suited our bike, but Motegi will be," warns the former Yamaha rider, who aims to "fight for victory again" in Japan. Admittedly, it will be far from enough to relaunch him in the race for the 2017 title, since he is in 7th place with four races to go..
But confidence with his bike seems to gradually settle, especially since the introduction of the famous integrated fins. Lorenzo can therefore effectively claim the status of potential winner this year … or at worst early next year. ?!
