Former MotoGP rider, Jorge Lorenzo, recently sat down for an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, where he touched upon various hot topics in the MotoGP world, including Marc Márquez’s decision and the tight race for this season’s championship.

Starting off, Lorenzo discussed Jorge Martín’s mistake during the last Indonesian Grand Prix, attributing it to overconfidence. “The error was a result of being overly confident. It’s a valuable lesson for him,” he remarked. “He had the victory in his grasp; I don’t think Bagnaia could have beaten him. Bagnaia is more composed during crucial moments and is excellent at managing situations.”

Currently, Jorge Martín trails Pecco Bagnaia by 18 points, with Bagnaia leading the championship since the Indonesian race. “Bagnaia is under immense pressure. Martín will continue to be strong; he’s in top form and has significantly improved his riding style. Last Sunday, Bagnaia won, but it was Martín who lost. That race was his to win. You can’t give a rider like Pecco such an opportunity. With an 18-point difference now, the ball is back in his court. I won’t be hypocritical; as a Spaniard, I’d love for Jorge Martín to win in Phillid Island. We’re friends; he’s been to my house, and I’ve tried to give him advice in the past. My heart is with Martín,” Lorenzo expressed.

Given Martín’s recent performance in the Grand Prix events, it’s no surprise that he’s quickly closing in on the Italian, aiming to snatch the leadership from him. Martín, a rider for Prima Pramac Racing, believes he’s the fastest on the grid and will leverage this belief to challenge Pecco.

Reflecting on his time with Ducati, Lorenzo admitted that it wasn’t the best phase. “If I had raced with a Desmosedici in 2017, perhaps I’d still be racing,” he mused, indicating that the current version of the bike is far superior to what he had.

Lorenzo also shared his insights on Marc Márquez’s switch for the 2024 season. “It was fairly evident to me. He always seemed uncertain in his statements. He made a choice based on his happiness and the desire to feel competitive again. Even if you’re Marc Márquez, in sports, what you did last season matters. He sacrificed money, the team, and his loyalty to Honda. But from a sports perspective, it’s a good choice. He’ll be much stronger with Ducati. If he starts winning, Dall’Igna might consider dressing him in red,” Lorenzo revealed.

Lastly, Lorenzo didn’t hold back when discussing Yamaha and Fabio Quartararo’s situation. “He’ll be one of the great talents without a winning bike in 2024,” he stated.
