The Lorenzo deal is a question of money
It is not only the Rossi-Marquez affair that keeps track in the course of the transmission, but also the future of Jorge Lorenzo , who no longer seems obvious after the latest declarations and results in the first two races. It will still take some races to make a final decision, with the Suzuki team ready to pounce on the three-time MotoGP champion."Lorenzo is desirable for Suzuki this year, also because last year Lorenzo's idea was to continue with Ducati. With the money he took and still takes, with the goal that has the Ducati, it was a perfect wedding - explained Carlo Pernat -. But in the first year as all the drivers have problems that he could not solve, he can not make 100% with a bike that is not easy to drive. Now the speech Lorenzo has opened, but you have to wait a couple of races, at least after Jerez. Then we have to see how much Lorenzo is prepared not to take ".
In the absence of major sponsors, with Repsol and Honda who have invested the maximum to arm Marc Marquez until 2020, and after the departure of TIM to the Borgo Panigale house, Ducati will not be able to offer much to Jorge Lorenzo. "After Marquez signed for a figure of around 15 million, and after the renewals of Vinales and Valentino, there is no money from before. Ducati said the drivers' budget is less than 50% of what it was this year, so it's a question of money - added the Ligurian manager -. Lorenzo must be content with 4 million , last year Suzuki to keep Vinales was willing to hunt from 5 to 6 million ".
