• Previous: The tenacity of Jorge Lorenzo: "It does not occur to me to leave"

It is a kind of media exile; It was already happening to Dani Pedrosa . Despite its three MotoGP titles, the World Cup organization no longer invites Jorge Lorenzo to Thursday conferences, where everything must be happiness, the problems are wrong in the photos. To listen to the Honda rider you have to go to his motorhome and adapt to the tone. Silence prevails in the place, the joke does not find its place, despair is exposed with rawness.

Lorenzo not only goes through the worst moment of his career, he possibly goes through one of the worst crises that have been seen in the championship. Its classification evidences - it is fourth by the tail, it only surpasses in points to Tito Rabat, Hafizh Syahrin and Karel Abraham -, although his words do it more. Almost three months after the accident that forced him to miss four races the pains continue and, with them, the maladjustment and the unhappiness.

"I still have not had time to recover, I am not like before. I do not have my back as I had before, neither bone nor muscle. It still hurts me according to what position and with pain you can not fight. After this Grand Prix I will wear with the weights, so far I have not been able to touch them, and I will try to gain muscle mass. I want to have energy to be able to endure the whole race, "he acknowledged about his physical situation with an intrinsic sincerity.

The season is lost, no one in his team hides it, there is no more: "The thing is dark, it is something that can not be denied. Before the injury was no longer 100%, but then everything is much more complicated. It's the slowest injury I've had in my career. I improve very little by little and it doesn't help to have to compete every week. "

Lorenzo's problems with the Honda have varied in recent times. In the first races of the year, the three-time champion hoped that with a change in the seat, with greater comfort, he would improve exponentially - as happened in Ducati-, but now he admits that it is the style of the machine itself that hurts

Despite the very high top speed he enjoys, in the corners he can't tame the Honda and that leads him to fight for modest positions. In the seven races he ran healthy he never entered the top 10 and in the two since his return, Silverstone and Misano, he finished fourteenth. "Honda had a problem in the engine, it improved and that brought complications in most of the curves. For whatever reason, [Marc] Márquez doesn't suffer so much, but the rest of the drivers of the brand do. We win. in the straight lines, but we also lose in the curves, "he admitted.

However, Lorenzo was threatening the option of the withdrawal that appears on the horizon: "As I said in Misano, in my head is the fact that I have two more years of contract. I plan to fulfill them. In life everything can happen, but in life my head is not the word resignation. "
