Jorge Lorenzo’s father, critical of Marc Marquez, also talks about Valentino Rossi and the Sepang events in 2015.
Chicho Lorenzo is not only Jorge Lorenzo’s father, but a well-known Grand Prix commentator, driving master and discoverer of young talent, former manager of the pentacampione. He has quite a consolidated experience in paddock MotoGP and is distinguished by his cold and all too lucid analyzes, outspoken, capable of saying what others don’t dare. For some time he has been running a program on YouTube, Motogepeando, where he often alternates with the well-known Spanish journalist Manuel Pecino.
In the last few days Chicho Lorenzo has been interviewed by Nico Abad on his Twitch channel and has addressed several topics since the return of Marc Marquez to Valentino Rossi, from Fabio Quartararo to Aleix Espargaró. As usual, he was very direct in the considerations that this time aimed at the multiple champion Marc Marquez, returning to the track after just over three months from the fourth operation on his right arm. A return that has aroused many controversies.
Lorenzo Sr. on Marc Marquez and Valentino Rossi
The father of the Majorcan champion was very critical of Marc, for his too risky departure in Aragon. “Going out like this was a suicide… and in the end the accident with Fabio and Nakagami happened. During his career he had problems with many drivers due to his maneuvers on the track“, He recalled Chicho Lorenzo. “Marc did everything and nothing ever happened to him, as if there was a power behind him that defends him … For three years he made bad decisions“.
Other riders probably would have ended their careers after what happened from July 2020 to today, but the Cervera phenomenon is still struggling to return to the levels of the past. “He will have to stop being unclean to win the races again. There is a lot of talk out there about karma, I don’t know if karma exists or not … but he certainly can’t deny that there is.“.
Finally we return to talk about what happened at Sepang 2015 between Valentino Rossi and the sample of the Honda: “Marc bothered him … As I’ve said before, I think Valentino and Marc were the dirtiest riders I’ve ever seen“. In 2015 the champion from Tavullia even tried to play the card of his psychological superiority, but it was not enough to steal the world scepter from the hands of Jorge Lorenzo: “Valentino was trying some off-track strategies when he knew he wasn’t the fastest, but in 2015 my son managed to beat him despite all his tricks“.
