Jorge Lorenzo has described his recent visit to♑ HRC headquarters as "very interesting... we were able to work on many things, some ꧃which will help this weekend and some for the future.”

The triple MotoGP champion flew t🌞o Japan fo🌠r direct talks with Honda engineers following a best finish of just eleventh place in the opening six rounds.

Lorenzo is yet to feel comfortable and confident on the RC213V, struggling to control weight transfer on corner entry. Seat modificat💃ions, which provided the final piece in the puzzle𝓰 at Ducati last year, have been unsuccessful so far.

"We have decided to try improving Jorge’s ergonomics problems by orga🌊nising a trip to Jaꦍpan, " team manager Alberto Puig explained prior to the visit.

"We thought it was a gꦏood idea to talk directly with the engineers and to analyse more deeply the problems he is having, trying to get a better position for him on the bike."

Th💦e future Lorenzo parts should include the one available fairing update allowed for each rider duri꧃ng the season.

The Spaniard, winner at Mu൲gello last season, was only 13th and over 20 seconds from victory in 🍷this year's race.

It's a pattern he hopes won't be repeated in his home Barcelona round, where he won by 4.5s in Ducati colo💧urs a year ago.

“After a mixed we💟ekend in Mugello, I am hoping that we can do good work this weekend in Barcelona," Lore🔜nzo said.

"We will keep work🥂ing ♉at our maximum to close the gap to the front.

"We also hav🙈e a test after the race, which I am looking forw✃ard to as well."

Lorenzo is currently🅠🌱 14th in the world championship, which team-mate Marc Marquez leads by twelve points from Ducati's Andrea Dovizioso.

HRC test rider 🗹Stefan Bradl was also at the factory last week.
