After announcing his official withdrawal from MotoGP, four months ago in Cheste, Jorge Lorenzo confirmed Thursday that he will play a Grand Prix again. It will be with Yamaha and will do it in Montmeló next June.
In a brief statement on their social networks, the Balearic announced that he will return to the competition in the Grand Prix of Catalonia, from June 5 to 7 , with a wild car (invitation). "After thinking about it for a few weeks, yesterday I decided that I will run in the Catalan GP. I really want to and I hope to see you all there."
"There are four days that, above the rest, are important in the life of a pilot: when you debut, when you win your first race, when you win your first World Cup, not everyone can, and when you announce your retirement. That day has arrived for I am here to announce that this will be my last MotoGP race and that I am retiring as a professional rider, "Lorenzo said in November in the press room of Cheste, to announce the end of his sports career, tinged with poor results in his recent years in Ducati and Honda , having been triple MotoGP world champion precisely with the Yamaha that now returns.
Because the team of tuning forks, who signed Fabio Quartararo and renewed Maverick Viñales , recalled the Mallorcan as a test driver. "I am very happy with the decision to join the Yamaha Factory Test Team . I always planned to stay involved in MotoGP and return to the paddock, and I think this is a suitable role for me. I know the team and the M1 well. Yamaha really adapted in my driving style, and it will be very interesting to meet my old motorcycle again, "Lorenzo explained in a statement.
