Jorge Lorenzo: Yamaha and Honda “a disappointment, Luca Marini debut quite bad”
Jorge 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 around.
𝔉Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararo, in 11th, was the best-placed rider on a Japanese bike at the 2024 season-opener in Qatar.
Two-time MotoGP champion Lorenz൲o, who won his tiไtles with Yamaha and also represented Honda, assessed their start.
“Japanese brands have been a disappointment in Qatar,” he told&nꦜbsp;.
“Honda and Yamaha are very far away.
“And Luca Marini's debut with♏ the Repsol💫 Honda Team has been quite bad.”
Lorenzo was asked if Honda and Yamaha might use this year’s developmental aid to prioritise the 202☂7 MotoGP regulation c𝄹hange. He believes they will want a quick return on their investment.
He said: “Every year, brands invest a lot♏ of money and no one likes to throw it away.
“Nobody likes not getting good results.
“They should try to be competitive as soon as𓆉 possible.”
MotoGP bike engine💫s will reduce in size from 2027.
It is a change which Lorenzo agrees with.
“With the change in regulations, in MotoGP they are on the right path when they plan to reduce the power a l൲ittle,” he said.
“Because the bikes a𒐪re running, perhaps, too much.
“They are reaching almost 370✅ km/h, that is a lot of speed.
“Th𝓀e limitation of aerodynamics may be another succes꧋s.
“The motorcycles now go very fast in curves and generate a lot of turbulence, so o🧔ve💞rtaking is not seen that could occur without those fins and appendages.”
MotoGP bikes are unrecogn🐼isable from when Lorenzo started his premierꦗ class career.
“Technology is important,” he said about the bikes’ advancemen🐼tsಞ.
“Since what is applied on the circuits ends up being applied to street motorcycles and is something positi🍎ve when it comes to selling safer mo🍃torcycles.
“So, if this stage in recent years has helped evolve aerodynamics techno꧅logy, let it be so that street mot💜orcycles are a little safer.
“But it is true that, equally, the spectator does not appreciate that racing motorcyc꧑les resemble a mini Formula 1 aesthe🦋tically and technologically.
“If removing the wings genera🐻tes less turbulence, the riders suffer 🎃less when overtaking and the motorcycles go a little slower in the curves, we will benefit.”
MotoGP has undergone other major changes, n♑otably the introduction of a sprint race on the Saturday of eve♕ry round.
“They have done an excelle♈nt job to make the races more competitive each year,” Lorenzo s♋aid.
“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 and the tyre is also 𝐆unique.
“The implementation of Sprint races has been another success, since th🍃e public enjoys one more raꦓce.”
