Jorge Lorenzo, currently employed by Ducati, and hence Volkswagen, is serenely confident he will have no trouble adjusting to the Desmosedici for 2017.
The last time he made such a pronouncement was in 2008 when he joined the then-Fiat Yamaha team as a double 250cc world champion. Shown above are the results he achieved in the Chinese round that year.
Lorenzo goes on in the article to assert that he will not have to change his conditioning regimen in order to ride the big red bike. I believe there are two words in his immediate future:
Arm pump.
At some point in the season Jorge Lorenzo will complain about arm pump. Even the stylish, more macho, fitted black Ducati practice leathers can’t make him man up enough to ignore it. The Desmo being such a bitch to turn, it seems inevitable.
