Argentinian GP MotoGP – Lorenzo: "I had a good feeling with the bike"…
Distant eleventh in Qatar, Jorge Lorenzo hoped to bounce back in Argentina for his second race on the Ducati MotoGP … But his hopes were quickly cut short, with a fall in the first corner due to poorly calibrated braking behind Iannone ! MNC Statements and Analysis.
Jorge Lorenzo, Ducati (16th in qualifying and retirement after a crash in the race): “I had a good start and managed to get past four or five riders, but the finish at the first corner was pretty chaotic with many riders looking to overtake each other on braking. I was positioned inside and suddenly found myself in Iannone’s rear wheel and I fell ".

"It’s a shame not being able to get through the first corner of the race, because I had a good feeling on the bike today. We have to move forward and continue to work positively as we do. already".
Site analysis: Starting from sixteenth place on the grid, Jorge Lorenzo knew he had to take care of his flight to hope for a decent result. Unfortunately, the Mallorcan confused speed and haste and ended up on the ground at the first turn, after losing control by hitting Andrea Iannone’s rear wheel.
We will also regret that Lorenzo did not express the slightest apology to the official Suzuki, who could have ended up in the gravel following this failed braking. Admittedly, the inconvenience caused to n ° 29 remains quite moderate in the end, but knowing that Lorenzo is rather quick to reproach his competitors for their lack of good manners … End of our parenthesis "Courtesy in MotoGP" !
In the end, Jorge Lorenzo leaves Argentina without the slightest point and above all without having really convinced: far in the tests as in the qualifiers, the Mallorcan has never displayed a sufficient pace to hope to reach the Top 5, contrary to these statements a nothing post-race optimists.
"Without this problem at the start, I think we could have fought for fourth or fifth place," said "Jorgeuil" while he nevertheless gravitated between 14th and 18th place during practice, with a delay of 0.7 sec to 1.1 sec per lap on the leading man! During the, the former Yamaha rider was thus ranked 15th with 0.9 sec behind Viñales. Unless surprised, it’s a bit fair to claim a Top 5 a few hours later…
In short, another weekend to forget for Lorenzo, as for his unfortunate teammate Andrea Dovizioso: the Italian was mown down by the Aprilia of Aleix Espargaro in a right turn, after missing the entry following an overtaking on Danilo Petrucci.
- MNC of April 4, 2016 :
The height of bad luck for "Desmodovi", already pushed into the gravel last year in Argentina: it was at the time his box neighbor Andrea Iannone who was in charge, depriving Ducati of a double on the podium which held out his arms to him !
TERRIBLE luck for, taken out of the race by !
Both up & walked away!

Weekend to forget for the Ducati Team
"Fortunately I only suffered from a hematoma on the right tibia, where I was hit by the bike. It’s nothing serious," consoles Dovizioso who holds Petrucci partly responsible for the collision. According to n ° 4, "Petrux" unnecessarily blocked his pursuers by occupying a large part of the track under braking.
Still, this collapse of the official Ducati clan is bitterly verified in the provisional: Dovizioso – – descends to third place in the standings with 30 points behind the leader Maverick Viñales (20 Vs 50). Jorge Lorenzo only appears at a distant 18th position with 5 small points to his credit, ten times less than his successor at Yamaha in just two races. !
Supreme humiliation for the new factory rider of the Bologna Reds: Lorenzo is currently the last Ducati representative in the standings, behind the private Ducatis of Redding (4th), Bautista (9th), Petrucci (13th), Baz (14th), Abraham (15th) and Barbera (17th) !
Rossi’s former teammate will try to console himself this week with the launch of an emoticon in his image, available on iOS and Android, and on the interest aroused by his museum "World Champion 99" that he has just made visit to Jack Miller and Maverick Viñales…
Something new for this season .. my emojis to use whenever you want!
