I've always liked Lorenzo, but once again he's proving that unless conditions are perfect, then he's simply not up to it. Disappointed.
Certain others have struggled with the Ducati.Give him time and a race in the daylight (and race control making a decision in less than 35 mins) .

I didn't know Charlie Cox was on PH?
I wish they would get him back instead of the current muppets....Zarco for the win at Le Mans ?

Enjoyed that. We've come a long way from a few years back when there was no Suzuki, KTM or Aprilia, Ducati was st and the rest of the field were CRTs. Brilliant now.
Was thinking just this. Great season opener, and looking forward to Zarco keeping Vinales and MM honest this season.tight5 said:

Rossi did what, one third place in his time on Ducati? But the bike was crap as well.
Now we have great bike and Dovi on second spot....Lorenzo better get a grip on that stud or that move from Yamaha will be very bad for his reputation and self-esteem (despite the money).
Zarco, that was amazing! He built up such a space in such a quick time, he was really going for it, and not even on a factory bike!
Iannone crashed on the Suzuki, pity....but that's Iannone.

Think Dovi might be going to ask why his rather more expensive team mate it's getting considerably more money....
Dovi is 4 years on Ducati, Lorenzo is in his first RACE on Ducati. I give Lorenzo a benefit of a doubt (even though I do not like that "baby" personally). If Lorenzo achieves something this year - that will be commendable, but next year is probably going to be his year.Ho Lee Kau said:

Meh. Bit cringy some of that. obscene said:
Well it's quite funny until you consider the GOAT couldn't make the Duke work for him....As ever, it's easy to take the piss out of a multiple world champion from the comfort of a keyboard and a FB account.....
As with Marquez when he joined the MGP circus, Folgar and Co have a lot to prove, whereas the likes of Rossi, Marquez and Lorenzo don't.
No denying Lorenzo has a mountain to climb, but writing his chances off after limited testing on what is generally perceived to be a difficult bike to ride and just one race, is hardly giving him a fair crack at the job !
