Jorge Lorenzo previously predicted that the Aprilia RS-GP machine was destined for world championship glory before the racing season even ignited. This bold assessment was shared during a casual coffee session with technical director Fabiano Sterlacchini at the Buriram circuit.
The triple premier-class champion warned that Marco Bezzecchi had to remain flawless to secure the title. Unfortunately for the Italian team, his championship hopes unraveled due to recurring mistakes and crashes. Meanwhile, Marc Marquez masterfully erased a 102-point deficit, starting his momentum surge from the Aragon round.
Lorenzo noted that the Aprilia possessed superior cornering handling and exceptional lean angles compared to the Ducati. He was adamant that if Bezzecchi avoided errors, the title was 100 percent within their reach. From a technical standpoint, he believed the Aprilia was clearly the superior machine on the grid.
However, pure technical superiority faced an insurmountable challenge in the form of Marquez. Lorenzo described the Spaniard as the Ayrton Senna or Max Verstappen of motorcycle racing, a rider performing at a level that transcends machine performance. The raw talent of the Ducati rider ultimately neutralized the technical edge enjoyed by his rivals.
Heading into the final two rounds at Portimao and Valencia, Marquez commands a 60-point lead over Jorge Martin and a 74-point cushion over Bezzecchi. While Lorenzo’s technical evaluation proved accurate, the season serves as a stark reminder that the rider remains the most critical component in the pursuit of championship success.
