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).

"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. ?!
