Jorge Lorenzo, new lunge at Valentino Rossi on 2015

New lunge by Jorge Lorenzo

New lunge by Jorge Lorenzo against Valentino Rossi. The topic, as has often been the case, was 2015, a year in which the Doctor seemed on the verge of winning the World Championship for the tenth time in his career.

“That year I could have won the title very easily because I was the fastest, but something always happened to me on Sunday,” the Mallorcan told Il Giornale. So it was a suffered season. So many factors, but we must not forget the Argentine GP as far as the Rossi-Marquez issue is concerned. Valentino had dropped Marquez without apologizing to him in the post-race. Marquez did not digest it. I think an apology would have changed the course of things.”

“It was hard to share the pit box with Rossi. Without such a strong character, I probably would have been defeated mentally as well, because Valentino had all the attention. He was loved by everyone and that made me feel smaller. But I was determined. Once I put the visor down, my only goal was to hit the gas and win.”
