Recruit Lorenzo, Honda Do not Want To Marquez in MotoGP
Marc Marquez is the best racer in the world of MotoGP at the moment. But it does not necessarily make the Repsol Honda team does not want to continue to be colonized Marquez, therefore they bring Jorge Lorenzo.
There has been no official announcement Lorenzo move to Honda, but a number of parties already convinced that the Spanish rider will be bound by a two-year contract by the Japanese manufacturer.
Having a duet Marquez-Lorenzo in the paddock clearly makes Honda on paper will be the strongest team in the MotoGP event. But this duo also has the potential of a big explosion like that happened when Lorenzo with Valentino Rossi in Movistar Yamaha.
The most ideal thing for Honda at this time is obviously Marquez-Pedrosa duet, because Marquez can always be the main rider and Pedrosa never mind even impressing just as a companion rider in the MotoGP arena.
Honda finally made the decision to eject Pedrosa and look for new riders to fill his position.
The brave attitude of Honda seems to not be separated from the readings of the existing situation in the world of MotoGP at this time. Kubu Honda saw Jorge Lorenzo not able to adapt well with Ducati and will be released by the Italian manufacturer.
With a weak bargaining power, Lorenzo will certainly be tied with a contract value that is much lower than his payment when joining to Ducati in 2017. Because for Lorenzo is currently the most important is to re-appear competitive on the MotoGP track is no longer matter matter.
Honda has long expressed their desire to have two powerful riders who can both be expected to win. The presence of Lorenzo will increase the odds, although the negative side of the competition in the squad will be much more felt when compared to the Marquez-Pedrosa duet in it.
