VR most notably is the one struggling with this year's tire.

Struggling but still can make podiums. He said it may not be the tyres after all, just the new 2017 bike.

That's my worry, he and his team don't seem to have found the real root cause and solution yet. MV has proven the bike is a winner, so up to VR to make it work for him also.

Yeah, that's a concern.

well, the M1 is regarded as among the best bike in motogp, highly adaptable even for newcomers. zarco & vinales just proved it.

that's why i think VR problem is maybe not the bike 100%.

VR admitted the 2016 bike is easier to ride hence Zarco and Folger did well in testing, VR preferred the old bike but to move forward, both riders have to use the 2017 bike.

VR needs to sort out his performance deficit quickly and beat MV soon or else the more times MV beats him, the more confident MV will be and probably VR might get cranky.

So early he already so frustrated...

kesian... apa salah that bike?

i think rider rather than bike.
ducati not an easy bike to ride

Typical Lorenzo!

Of course the rider, he whacked Ianonne's rear!

imagine how those engineers and mechanics in team box felt when he did that..

ungrateful whiner..

Reminds me of the 250 days of Lorenzo

Maybe his mind was thinking... If I were qualified on pole position, for sure I won't in such mess crowd... Must be the laozy bike salah

It has been noticed that JL99 style suits him when the path is clear. he is not such an overtaker. can only ride well when he is leading, that's why pole position is important for him.

Last year already alot spotlight on MV.
This year he performed

Actually he can overtake but just not as decisive & daring as VR or MM in a duel. He's also more sensitive to tire which needs to have very good edge grip, or else he will struggle.

i always call JL99 as robot...

which can set fast time, perfect laptime on every lap...very stable and smooth riding style...


but prone to crash/kicked out of focus when battling with ppl....


maybe he was fighting with his deja-vu when during those time that during his early season with yamaha...

he kept crashing and it took him few years to adapt....

Told yall lorenzo ducati more hell than rossi ducati days surely hahahahaha

2 years 2 be exact
2008/2009 rossi
2010/2012 lorenzo partly also because rossi and other contenders injured in major crash
