Jorge Lorenzo said recently that any manufacturer has to suffer problems at any point in their career. Currently, Yamaha is on the factory team, with the exception of Aprilia and KTM, which has the worst performance expected when compared to the start of the season.

On the basis of this lack of performance, Lorenzo believes that the main problem is M1. However, the #99 say he didn’t feel any kind of pity for the situation that Valentino Rossi and Maverick Viñales are going through this season.

‘We all have problems. We have them because we make mistakes, we would like to be closer to Márquez in the title fight. Suzuki also committed them. In the case of Yamaha, what happens to them depends a lot on circuit to circuit because there are tracks where the M1 isn’t as bad as it seems or as the riders can say. However, there are places where the two riders suffer and it is partly because of the bike, because Viñales and Rossi are very good riders. However, I have no regrets because we are here to win’, Lorenzo told Motorsport.com in an interview.
