Ducati, Jorge Lorenzo: "Marc Marquez? I'd understood him immediately"

The’former Yamaha, Ducati and Honda centaur Jorge Lorenzo in an interview with Corriere della Sera spoke about Marc Marquez: “I always struggled and suffered when I was a rival of Marc, I knew immediately that I was facing a phenomenon”.
“When a rider becomes a champion on his MotoGP debut, it means he has a special talent. After the’accident in 2020, for me he did not fully recover, and yet despite that he remained the best of all”, explained the five-time world champion.
“He’s far superior compared to the other riders, a little bit’because of Ducati, but a lot because of him– Lorenzo continued.
He’s the best rider riding the best bike, like Doohan with Honda and Schumacher with Ferrari“.
Jorge Lorenzo, however, has one regret regarding his MotoGP career: “I could have continued with Ducati and won at least another world championship, also thanks to the injury that Marquez had. I am convinced of this but maybe I am wrong”.
