Selain Insiden Tabrakan di MotoGP Spanyol, Jorge Lorenzo Juga Curcol Soal Musim 2018

Di tengah kemelut insiden segitiga di Sirkuit Jerez, Spanyol pada Minggu (6/5/2018), Jorge Lorenzo sempat curhat colongan (curcol) soal peluangnya di MotoGP 2018.

Jorge Lorenzo yang dituduh menjadi biang keladi insiden dengan rekan setimnya di Ducati, Andrea Dovizioso, dan Dani Pedrosa, mengaku jika dirinya belum menemukan chemistry dengan motor barunya.

Pebalap Spanyol tersebut mengungkapkan hal tersebut dalam wawancara dengan Movistar TV yang kemudian ia unggah ke Instagram pribadinya.

Berikut beberapa kutipan dari wawancara tersebut:

"Charles Perez (Movistar TV): Balapan yang hebat, apa Anda nyaman dengan motor saat ini?" tulis akun @jorgelorenzo99 pada Minggu (6/5/2018).

"Jorge (Lorenzo): Kami masih mencoba menemukan kenyamanan."

 

Laura Jordán (MotoGP): Jorge, what happened? Jorge: I know it's the most shocking thing of the race but I don’t to talk a lot of this. We’re the 3 cleanest riders of MotoGP and today it has been a really unlucky action. Very bad luck, specially for Andrea and for Ducati because they’re fighting for the championship so this is what I dislike the most. Even so, I think that my race it has been a very good race, from the start to the end, with my determination, the speed that I had, etc. This is the most important thing. Carles Perez (Movistar TV): Great race, do you feel more comfortable with this bike? Jorge: We still have a lot to find really comfortable. If I was comfortable I would have led the race much more and I would have fought for the victory. Those three tenths are missing and we have to keep working hard, but today I felt very brave and fast and that is a big step. #JL99 #SpanishGP

Pebalap 31 tahun tersebut lalu menegaskan jika dirinya bisa tampil kompetitif di musim 2018 jika memang telah nyaman dengan motor barunya di Ducati.

"Jika saya sudah nyaman tentunya saya bisa lebih banyak memimpin balapan dan saya bisa mengejar kemenangan," kata Lorenzo menambahkan.

Harapan pebalap asal Spanyol ini untuk memperbaiki performa di MotoGP Spanyol 2018 nyatanya malah terpuruk kembali.

Terlibat kecelakaan dengan Dovizioso dan Pedrosa, membuat Jorge Lorenzo kembali gagal finis.
