Jorge Lorenzo drastic on MotoGp post Valentino Rossi: “It’s that or die.”

Former MotoGp centaur Jorge Lorenzo commented on the introduction of sprint races starting in 2023.

The introduction of sprint races on MotoGp weekends from2023 has raised a fuss in the paddock between those in favor and those against. According to Jorge Lorenzo, the mini races are an opportunity for a MotoGp that is losing interest after Valentino Rossi’s farewell and Marc Marquez’s perennial injury. “Eventually time passes for everyone, and the sport evolves. As they say, adapt or die. It’s time to try new things so that people get more passionate about MotoGP, give a better show,” he told Dazn Spain.

“Maybe winning a circuit loses importance: which race matters more, the one on Saturday or the one on Sunday, the new one or the normal one,” the Majorcan continued. But in the end it’s a good thing. I think the public has a chance to see more battles and the riders to get more points and be more on the track.”
