MotoGP Gossip: Lorenzo hints at car racing career, competing against Rossi

Three-time MotoGP champion - five-time world champion overall - Jorge Lorenzo could be about to follow Valentino Rossi in taking up car🥂 racing.
Retired since the end of 2019, Lorenzo has remained close to the MotoGP paddock after dabbling with punditry before signing a deal to become a commentator for ꦆSpanish stre🌳aming service DAZN.
Lorenzo, who is scheduled to appear behind the mic for seven races this season - includes round oꦡne in Qatar which has already taken place - is unlikely to have anything more than a part-time gig after confirming a return to racing is possible.
As reported by Speedweek.com, Lorenzo said: "I like talking about bikes, maybe I'll visit some TV shows in Europe. I also plan to do car racing, may𓄧be there will be an opportunity there soon. Then in the lonღg run it's also possible that I'll race against Valentino Rossi again." .
In other news, MotoGP’s new Documentary titled ‘Unlimited’, a series which has seen a considerable amount of displeasure from fans due to it being dubbed, and therefore losing some of the personality and ‘realness’ of the riders, showcased a♏ moment where Razlan Razali, current Team Owner at RNF Yamaha claimed he wished Rossi would never win again following an early encounter, or lack thereof in 2005.
A reminder, this is before Rossi signed for Razali’s Petronas Yamaha team in what eventuall🦩y turned out to be his final season as a MotoGP rider (2021).
"I was a big, very big fan of his. In 2005 he came to Malaysia for the winter tests, I asked him to autograph me a book and he passed me by without saying anything, he didn’t even think twic𝓀e. So I thought: you come to my country and ✃do this to me? You will never win a championship again." ].
