Mercato piloti MotoGP, Jorge Lorenzo in Ducati nel 2015? | Derapate I read the end of that as desperate :tongue: , remains to be seen , does he not think he will beat the Repsol's in particular Marquez this year . Or does he think another championship , then I'll prove I can win on another bike. Would he be comparing himself to the other 4 (I think ) riders to have done it on different marques , and feels he'd come up short in the history books of the future.
I say bollox. Jorge trying to get Yamaha to improve the bike and his wages or Honda to make him an offer he can't refuse. There's no way he would get on a bike not capable of winning the championship. Jorge's riding style won't suit the Ducati either.
Lorenzo will be at Honda in 2015, no question about it unless Yamaha can bring in some serious changes!!
I am absolutely convinced that Jorge will go to Honda, he has all but said that unless Yamaha can buck up it's idea's he will be looking for 'a bike that can win the championship'. He would also ride alongside Marquez, why wouldn't he? they get on okay and he is a better rider that Pedrosa and Honda don't have an issue with having 2 Spanish riders (for obvious reasons, Repsol). I also think that Pedrosa would be better on a Yamaha, would maybe suit his style more. Rossi will be off, so that could leave a shakeup. I am desperate for Ducati to improve to a level that means that it wouldn't be such a crazy move for one of the big names to take a punt and go there, but for that they need to be on the rostrum at least 4-5 times a season with both bikes. Hopefully they will ditch Dovi at the end of the year and give another young rider a go on a *hopefully* good bike.
That's what I am saying; if Ducati can improve far above the level that they were when Rossi went; tbh, I think the took a step back when Rossi went there, not his fault but the management was already suffering
You forget JL would already have been on the Honda if it wasn't for a misunderstanding with his manager a few years back, I noticed MCN even running the story at the moment.... Let's not forget Suzuki will also be back in 2015 so more factory seats up for grabs
