MotoGP: Divorzio Jorge Lorenzo, Ducati sta facendo un regalo alla Yamaha ? Corsedimoto
This is in Italian but when you Google translate it says something along the lines that Carmelo doesn’t want and can’t lose a rider of Jorge’s caliber. I’m sure Italian speaking fellow members could chime in. This is the translation I got:
- "Jorge Lorenzo is likely to remain on foot". Nonsense. The Mallorcan will not only continue to run, but will return to the Yamaha with which he won three (not one: three ...) MotoGP World Championships. To put it back in a position to fight for the title, the "strong powers" are moving: Dorna, first of all. The reason is simple: Lorenzo is not alone (hand palmares ...) the anti-Marquez, but he is also one of the most mediatic drivers of the moment. One of those champions you love or hate, which in any case never leave you indifferent. The boss of the World Championship, Carmelo Ezpeleta, does not want and can not lose a rider of this thickness. This is why he took the situation directly into his hands.
CASTAGNE - By putting Jorge at the door, Ducati is doing a great assist to Yamaha, which draws the only driver with whom he won the World Cup in the last decade by remitting the self-possession made to escape Johann Zarco. With Valentino Rossi at the age of 40 and a Maverick Vinales dry with victories for over twelve months, Yamaha ran the risk of not having aces to play on the 2019 table. With the return of Jorge Lorenzo will have it. Thanks, Ducati ...”
Not sure of the credibility of the source.....
