"Lorenzo still not fast"

Jerez – Jorge Lorenzo's performance on the Repsol Honda bike is not really impressive. LCR Honda rider Cal Crutchlow has not denied that Lorenzo is still not fast enough.

Lorenzo debuted with the RC213V at the MotoGP test in Valencia. As a result, the Spaniard finished only 18th and 12th in the first and second consecutive sessions or 12th in two days tests.

At Circuit Ricardo Tormo, Lorenzo had his best time with 1 minute 31.584 seconds behind Marquez. Nevertheless, Lorenzo improved during the MotoGP tests in Jerez.

The five-time world champion finished seventh and fourth in two sessions or fifth in the two-day combination list. In Jerez, Lorenzo is still 0.135 from Marquez who finished third.

Crutchlow understands that Lorenzo's performance is not satisfactory during the test session. Because fitting a Honda motorcycle is not as easy as one might think.

"My judgment on Jorge is that he's a five-time world champion, he knows how to ride a motorcycle and he'll adapt to his bike," Crutchlow said. MotoGP.com.

"At the moment, it looks like it's really good for a ride, but if you look at the average speed as a whole, it's not fast enough yet." "Learning the bike and the bike is not easy to learn, as we know it."

"But when you can roll right and you're fast, there's no question that he can compete," Crutchlow said. (rin / raw)
