Jorge Lorenzo says he’s fully committed to Repsol Honda and shook off Ducati rumours as he opened up on the d🍷oubts he suffered while out inju🀅red.

The five-time world champion will make his long-awaited MotoGP comeback this weekend at the British round having been out🐠 of action since sustaining a fractured vertebrae in a crash at Assen back in June.

Despite being away from the action, Lorenzo wasn’t out of the headl💝ines aꦅs speculation grew at the Austrian round linking the Spanish rider to a return to Ducati with the Pramac squad at the expense of Jack Miller.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:With Honda stand꧅ing steadfast over Lorenzo’s deal, keeping him at the factory squad until the end of 2020, combined with Pramac Ducati confirming Miller woul🐎d stay at the Italian team next year Lorenzo remaine🌳♕d tight-lipped over the speculation.

“There were a lot of rumours about that, even if I wasn’t there. I never told anything because I knew I had a two-year cꦦontract with Honda,” Lorenzo said.

“But because the situation became very rarꦍe and the rumours were huge, I decided to call Alberto to tell him that I wanted to keep my commitment with the factory.”

Lorenzo revealed his two-month injury absence became a tough battle against his own self-confidence, while explaining how his heavy crash at the Montm🔜elo in-season test contributed to his vertebrae fracture suffere🐓d at Assen.

“In Assen🤡 but also the Montmelo test crash, this created the problem I had in Assen as I was not completely healed with my vertebrae after the Montmelo test crash,” he said. “That big crash that I had never suffered in my career before but when you talk about back injuries it gets serious.

“Then I started having doubts, doubts about my life, about m💝y career and I think it is ꦜhuman and normal to have these kind of doubts.

“When I started to feel better in the recovery these doubts started to disappear and the commitment and the challenge I decided🌳 to take, I became convinced about it again.

“The challenge to be competitive with the Honda MotoGP bike, to be able ꧃to win with them and to be able to win with three bikes.

“After recovering and feeling better and knowing that this i♊njury will not create problems in the future for my health, I felt commitment to stick with this cha𒅌llenge.”

Lorenzo has missed the last four Mo⛄toGP rounds, plus the Brno in-season test, while his best result of the year remai♏ns an underwhelming 11th place at Le Mans. The Spaniard joined Repsol Honda on a two-year contract after being axed at Ducati last season.
