Jorge Lorenzo: Yamaha and Honda “a disappointment, Luca Marini debut quite bad”
J🍷orge Lorenzo assesses Yamaha and Honda's start to 2024 MotoGP season

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jorge Lorenzo has pointed out that Honda and Yamaha had a poor Qatar MotoGP.
The Japanese manufacturers are in the process of receiving concessions benefits but it’s too soon for their results to turn a๊round.
Yamaha’s F♚abio Quartararo, in 11th, was the best-placed rider on a Japanese bike at the 2024 season-opener in Qatar.
Two-time MotoGP champion Lorenzo, who won h💜is titles with Yamaha and also represented Honda, assessed thꦺeir start.
“Japanese brands have been a disappointment in🦩 Qatar,” he told .
“Honda and Yamaha are very far away.
“And Luca Marini's debut wi🃏th the Rep🍌sol Honda Team has been quite bad.”
Lorenzo was 𒅌asked if Honda and Yamaha might us💙e this year’s developmental aid to prioritise the 2027 MotoGP regulation change. He believes they will want a quick return on their investment.
He said: “Every year, brands invest a lo﷽t of money and no one likes to throw it away.
“Nobody likes not getting good results.
“They shꦺould try to be competitive as soon as 🌸possible.”
MotoGP bike engi🐈nes will reduce in size from 2027.
It is a change which Lorenzo agrees with.
“With the change in regulations, in MotoGP they aꦏre on the right path when they plan to reduce the power a little,” he said.
“Because the bikes are running, p♚erhaps, too much.
“They are reaching almost 370 km/🦹h, that ♍is a lot of speed.
“The limitation of ౠaerodynamics may be another success.
“The motorcycles now go very fast in curves and generate a lot of turbulence, so overtaking is not seen that could occ♑ur without🔯 those fins and appendages.”
MotoGP bikes are unrecognisable from when 𝓀Lorenzo started his premier class careeꦕr.
“Technology is important,” he said about the bik♛es’ advancement🅷s.
“Since what is applied on the circuits ends up being applied to street m🍬otorcycles and is something positive when it comes to s﷽elling safer motorcycles.
“So, if this stage in recent ꦬyears has helped e⛎volve aerodynamics technology, let it be so that street motorcycles are a little safer.
“But it is true that, equally, the spectator does not appreciate that racing motorcycle𝔉s resemble a m🌄ini Formula 1 aesthetically and technologically.
“If removing the wings generates less turbulence, the riders suffer less when overtaking and the motorcycles go a little 🅰slower in the curves, we will ben🍌efit.”
MotoGP has undergone ot⛦her major changes, notably the introduction of a sprint race on the Saturday of every round.
“They have done an excellent job to make the races moreꦇ c🐬ompetitive each year,” Lorenzo said.
“With the electronics and the 🎉single control unit, no factory can stand out above another on this point.
“They are offering concessions to some factories and𓆏 the tyre is also unique.
“The implementation of Sprint races has been another success, since the public ꦆenjoys one more ꦰrace.”
