The retired three-time champion Lorenz🤡o suggested his former teammate opted to take extra recovery time from hand surgery because he isn’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 “t💝oo risky” as he rehabilitated his thumb.

“The finger is important for riding a motorcycle, but surely if he thought he had more chances to fight for the championship he would risk more,” Lorenzo told .&nb♛✤sp;

“Not seeing himself so f𓆉ast, he prefers to take all the time to recover. 

“Also🦄 because then there is also the sprint rac🔯e and the risk is doubled.”

Lorenzo famously broke his collarbone in a big highside at As🙈sen in 2013 on the Thursday, before undergoing surgery the same day then racing on Sunday - turning a 12th-placed start into an epi𓆏c 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 sꦫaid. 

⛎“In this MotoGP a small injury make꧂s you lose that half second which becomes irrecoverable, you can't finish in the points. 

“When I finished fifth at Assen there were five or six bikes that were competitive while th🐻e rest weren't, which all♎owed me to still finish in the points. 

“Today in MotoGP you have to be at 100%, because the ✃youngsters are highly trained athletes and they 𒀰pass over you. 

“Even Marc, who is a phenomenon, ri꧑sks finishing behind if he isn't 10🗹0%.”
