Jorge Lorenzo in statements to DAZN spoke about the Le Mans GP. The former Spanish rider commented on Sunday’s race and highlighted Jorge Martín’s performance throughout the race.
The Prima Pramac Racing rider was coming from a crash in Jerez and a mistake in this Le Mans GP could cost him the championship lead. Lorenzo emphasized the importance of Martín staying on track and managing the race pace very well.
– From Qatar to Le Mans, all races have been spectacular, with a lot of excitement. And in Jerez only Martín’s crash prevented the trio from fighting until the end. But this time all three stayed on the bike and we managed to have the best riders, with the best bike, fighting and giving everything until the end. In the end, Jorge won, but Bagnaia or Marc could have easily won.
He also added, about the importance of Martín not making any mistakes: ‘A second consecutive crash by Martín and the loss of a big advantage would have been a big blow. Keeping calm was very difficult and he did it perfectly. Congratulations to Jorge today, which was, of all races, perhaps the most difficult for him psychologically’.
