"Unfortunately I was unlucky from the start because I touched the speed limiter (used in the pits, Editor’s note). When I noticed it, I was last … But I fought and I was able to come back, even if we obviously cannot be satisfied with this result ".

Site analysis : The good news for Jorge Lorenzo is that he is making progress on the HRC Honda … The three-time MotoGP world champion is indeed going from la to la … but at this rate, he will take his first victory in the last third of the season !

His motorcycle was thus found restrained to 60 km / h (maximum speed in the pit lane) while the others sped at full speed, especially the Ducati GP19 which have a new system called "holeshot device" which seems to intervene on the trim to improve power transmission to the ground.

"From the outside, it looks like I’m looking for excuses," he admits, aware of the image. "But it’s unbelievable what’s been going on in the last two races," laments the No. 99 who had already missed his start in Qatar due to a problem with the clutch.

Jorge Lorenzo is certain, however: when this "unlucky" episode is over, he will return to the forefront. In view of his talent and the sparks achieved with the Ducati at the end of his contract, MNC is inclined to take his word for it: a serene Lorenzo in full possession of his means is practically invincible.

However, he will have to improve his pace greatly, far below the leaders throughout this Argentine weekend. Lorenzo only signed the 14th fastest time of the race at 1.061 sec (!) Of the record signed by the winner Marc Marquez, his new box neighbor who rides the same bike….
