Will a Lorenzo-Ducati Partnership yield fruitful dividends ?

(From Right to Left)Lorenzo-Marquez-Rossi in 2015
The 2016 MotoGP has been quite Silly as all the drama that started last year involving the Rossi-Marquez clash which also roped Lorenzo in between too has been carried forward which led to a Cold-war between the Front-Runners in turn making everything boring and weird.

Since It has been announced that Lorenzo will be Signing a 2-year deal with Ducati as the Italian Marque offered Lorenzo an offer he couldn't refuse, and now all the attention is on that whether the newly formed partnership will yield dividends or not as Ducati hasn't been able to win a single race since 2010 when the Great Casey Stoner used to race the Desmosedeci and Score Podiums and Wins.

Now Lorenzo who'll be Riding the Red bike by which I mean the Ducati Desmosedici GP16 or whatever as they can name it GP16.2 like the way they did in 2015 which will be Interesting to see as Switching from the Blue leathers to Red and that too in a completely new environment will be Something we all wanted to see.

Ducati Corse, who's been chasing Lorenzo for 5 years now as in 2009 they even went on to say that he can be a replacement for Casey Stoner when Stoner was having some serious health issues but Lorenzo didn't show an overwhelming response opening the door wide open for Valentino Rossi who Joined his Home team and with all the Excitement and the Anticipation growing inside the paddock that "He'll bring Ducati to the front", "He's Developed Yamaha now he'll do the same with Ducati" and other Stuff, Rossi made a fool of himself for 2 consecutive years and then came back to Yamaha convincing everyone that Riding the
Desmosedici to the maximum is not everyone's cup of tea except one guy, Casey Stoner.

As a Ducati Rider, Jorge Lorenzo will be under an Immense pressure from everyone including himself and other riders as he could've stayed with Yamaha and won more titles which would've been easy for him as he's used to beat Rossi but now since he chose to go the hard way, it'll be crucial for him to Prove everyone that he can win taking the Ducati and he can even challenge for the World Championship.

Let's see what happens in 2017 as it'll see all the front runners(Lorenzo,Marquez,Rossi) on Different bikes for the first time since a long time ago which means complete freedom of banging wheels and shoulders as the other person is not your Team-mate anymore which will provide some serious entertainment no matter who wins or who looses.

For the time all we can do is say all the Best to Jorge Lorenzo who started his Career with Yamaha, now moving forward to Ducati as everyone has to leave their first teams some day or the other but nevertheless it's a part of Racing and teams don't decide your fate, it's the Rider who does everything.

5 Reasons why Lorenzo should move to Ducati

The 2016 MotoGP Season started with the reigning World Champion Lorenzo starting his title defense strongly with a Dominant win in Qatar but since then a lot has been going around in the paddock about where he wants to be in the Future as Rossi has signed a 2-year contract with Yamaha which means he's gonna stay where he is but Lorenzo is keeping quiet about this as he hasn't renewed his contract which indicates that he's been thinking about his further options.
So here are the main reasons that why Lorenzo's move to Ducati shall be good for MotoGP and for Ducati as well.


  1. He can Win with the Desmosedici Bike
    Lorenzo vs Dovizioso at Qatar 2016

    A lot of People in the Paddock knows Lorenzo's capability to produce maximum out of his bikes as he Overtook the Ducati's in Qatar which were way faster in a straight line than his bike but still he used his Extra-Ordinary skills and got past them.
    Evauluating all this, Lorenzo surely can surely Dominate MotoGP with Ducati as the GP15 and GP16's are faster but the riders are not the best as we saw in Qatar.

  2. People will stop Questioning him
    Every Rossi fan(most of them) doesn't particularly like Lorenzo coz he's been winning against Rossi fair and square since he got in MotoGP on the same machines so it's no Surprise that Rossi fans don't like Lorenzo as Rossi was a 7-Time World Champion when Lorenzo got into  MotoGP but since then things started to go differently for Rossi as Lorenzo who was a 20-year old Rookie produced identical results and sometimes even further than what People expected from him.
    This time If Lorenzo goes to Ducati then it'll be the perfect answer to all the Anti-Lorenzo fans by which I mean Rossi fans that Lorenzo can do what Rossi never could, winning with Ducati.
  3. Ducati will once again be back to Glory
    Casey Stoner won the World title for Ducati in 2007
    Ducati surely is one of the best and the most forward thinking Motorcycle Manufacturer in the world and they have an Illustrious History in WSBK racing but when it comes to MotoGP, only one world championship in 2007 didn't quite add to an Impressive CV given the fact that their Bikes have been competitive but they didn't had the Best riders who could bring the most out of those Machines like the way Stoner did in 2007 Winning 10 races and taking the Championship.
    So this time Lorenzo could create a completely new Environment with in the Team to help it in getting back at the Front just like the way Sebastian Vettel did with Ferrari in 2015.
  4. It'll be the Perfect Answer to Rossi
    Valentino Rossi who has been Questioning that Lorenzo's Ducati move wouldn't be happening because "he needs balls to do that" and other negative stuff just because Rossi couldn't do anything with Ducati and given the fact that Rossi knows Lorenzo can win with Ducati, So by concluding all this, it'll be the Perfect answer to Rossi.

     
  5. He'll be Appreciated by the Italians
    Ducati is an Italian Manufacturer and it's very Important that who is contributing in their Success as in the past a lot of Italian riders have ridden Ducati bikes and Failed Miserably but still they got appreciated as they were Italians and were getting Podiums taking an Italian bike which makes it even hard for the Italian fans not to Appreciate him as everyone knows that If Lorenzo wins with 2 bikes, it'll be the start of a new era as he'll be one of the few people who won with more than one Bike.



    These were the few reasons why Lorenzo's Ducati move shall be Great for MotoGP as it'll provide all the best riders on Different bikes.

Two Question marks for Lorenzo


The MotoGP reigning world champion Jorge Lorenzo won the opening round of this year's MotoGP season in an Impressive yet Dominant fashion and it was no surprise that the World Champion is not gonna let anyone take his crown or even think about it but after the Argentinian GP things started to look quite different as the rider who was in a class of his own at Qatar got spun off after some laps in Argentina ?
Maybe its due to the new tyre change as Michelin withdrew both of its rear tyres in the wake of Improving safety as the tyre compounds were not proving to be the most reliable following Scott Redding's scary crash in Practice which led to this huge Re-Shuffling of the tyres which proved to be the most Unusual decisions in racing as the riders were given different compounds for Practice and Pole and suddenly they were not provided with the Same compound for the rear tyre in the race.
Following all this, everyone started scratching their head as no one was aware of which Bike or Rider will get the most out of these new tyres as in MotoGP every Rider has its own choice of Tyre compounds for Front as well as Rear and the Performance out of the tyres completely depends on the feel the Rider gets from them as it's not Formula one where a driver gets same tyres for all the 4-wheels and even if a Driver doesn't get the amount of feedback he expects, he can still push hard enough to Score some Positions but on the other hand in MotoGP, its simply the opposite  because when you start to push limits on a car you go wide whereas when yo start to push limits on a Bike, You simply crash and thats the main reason racing in MotoGP is considered as more Intense and Ballsy.
Coming to the Next race in America at COTA which is not considered as Lorenzo's territory instead it's Marquez who's been really strong there every year which leaves us all wondering
What will Lorenzo do to get back on Top of the Standings ? as this is very crucial for his World Championship charge.

Casey Soner embarassing factory riders

The starting of the MotoGP testing 2016 saw a big surprise as the most-naturally talented MotoGP rider, Casey Stoner got on the Ducati GP16 bike but this time as a test rider which was of course the most shocking thing as the rider who can easily rattle Rossi,Marquez and Lorenzo is testing bikes for Ducati ? Yes but sadly it's the truth and  we all have to deal with it as Stoner made up his mind in 2012 to go to fishing instead of going racing as different people have not so usual opinions(sometimes weird) about a lot of things.
Everyone in the paddock must be laughing at the Ducati Factory team because even if we digest the fact that he's a test rider which is hard to believe but what we cannot  digest is that the lap times of Stoner around the Sepang Track during the Testing as they were faster than both the Ducati Factory riders(yes...you heard it right) which makes us think that why Stoner is not coming as a regular rider
as he's clearly shown that the bike has a lot of potential which is way more than what Andrea Dovizioso and Andrea Iannone are able to extract from the GP16.
Stoner in 2007
A situation like this is like having a $4000 guitar with strings of a $400 guitar as it won't play up to to the best level without them and that's the situation which is being faced by Ducati as Stoner is a serious competitor on that bike given that he didn't race for 3 long years and he has not tested any bike for the last 1 year, still he was able to go faster than the riders who were competing with the best last year and on some occasions they were able to be as fast as the best riders on that Ducati GP15.
All this brings us to only one Conclusion that Stoner can challenge the top riders if he comes as a regular rider in 2016 but in the mean time we can only ask that "Casey! Why you are not coming to racing instead of testing"
