The retired three-time champion Lorenzo suggested his former teammate opted to take extra recovery time f🧸rom hand surgery because he 𒁃isn’t competitive in the title hunt.

Repsol Honda rider Marquez hoped to race at the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Spanish MotoGP this weekend but withdrew when doctors told him it was “too risky” as he rehabilitated his t🦂humb.

“The finger is important fo♛r riding a motorcycle, but surely if he thought he had more 𝔉chances to fight for the championship he would risk more,” Lorenzo told . 

“Not seeing himself sไo fast, he prefers to take all the time to recover. 

“Also because then there is also🐭 the sprint race and the risk is doubled.”

Lorenzo famously broke his collarbone in a big highside at Assen i🌳n 2013 on the Thursday, before undergoing surgery the same day then raci🍃ng on Sunday - turning a 12th-placed start into an epic P5 finish.

But, he ins🌺ists that a decade later, such a feat would not be possible.

“💙These are different moments in the MotoGP,” he saꦯid. 

“In this MotoGP a small injury makes you lose that half second which bec꧒omes irrecoverable, you can't finish in the points. 

“When I finished fifth at As♏sen there ꦓwere five or six bikes that were competitive while the rest weren't, which allowed me to still finish in the points. 

“Today in MotoGP you ꦓhave to be at 100%, because the youngsters are highly trained athletes a♚nd they pass over you. 

“Even Marc, who is a pheno🎀menon, risks finishing behind if he isn't 100%.”
