Alberto Puig praised Jorge Lorenzo for having decided to go to Honda in the next MotoGP season, staying in the same team as Marc Márquez. The #93 is at the moment the benchmark of the squad in terms of results and performances and integrates the japanese team since joining the premier class in 2013.

In an interview with El Periódico, Honda’s team manager Puig revealed: ‘It is admirable that Lorenzo has agreed to be Marc’s teammate. This is a challenge that not everyone would have accepted, I can guarantee that. You have to be very brave and believe in yourself and your possibilities, to get yourself where Lorenzo has gotten’.

On the other hand, the official was aware that Lorenzo’s adaptation to Honda will not be easy, although he doesn’t risk predicting whether it will be very or not very complicated:

– I think it will not be easy for Jorge, I believe it will cost him. Much? Little? I have no idea, it will cost you. But Honda will give you everything you need to make this adjustment period as short as possible. The styles of Marc and Jorge are very different. Lorenzo rides very smoothly, needs a more stable bike. Marc, on the other hand, plays a lot with the bike, twist it, needs a bike a bit shorter.
