Lorenzo takes the Championship lead from Marquez

Lorenzo Winning the French GP at Le Mans
Heading around to the Place which hosts one of the most prestigious races of all time The 24 Hours of  Le Mans, this time it was MotoGP which was hosting it's Round five of the 2016 World Championship and like always it was 28 laps of pure wheel-to-wheel racing.

The Master of Le mans dominating all of his Rivals

All the MotoGP fans who follow their respective riders know that if it's about leading a Grand Prix from start to Finish then there's only one rider who handles it better than the rest and that's the reigning World Champion Jorge Lorenzo.

This time it wasn't about just Winning rather it was about by how much he's gonna win as his race pace was unquestionable and others were struggling with the brakes as for the first time this season, all the riders who finished the Grand Prix scored points because only Thirteen riders were able to make it to the chequered flag which means that even the lapped riders were awarded points.

So Combining this the difference between Rossi who was the the next best to Lorenzo, was a massive 10 seconds which gives quite a glimpse of the raw performance that Lorenzo possesses.

Marquez lost control of his Bike on Lap 13


Marquez Struggling with POOR acceleration

Believe it or not, this year's RC213V has got some serious downside in terms of the Horsepower as it cannot our-drag the Faster bikes like the Yamaha on the straights and getting within a striking distance of the most powerful bike, the Ducati Desmosedici GP16 is nearly Impossible unless you have got braking performance of an Formula One car on a MotoGP bike which is also Impossible and all this explains us why Marquez crashed out of the French Grand Prix as he was pushing too hard to catch the GP16 of Andrea Dovizioso which made him apply extra efforts on the braking and eventually he lost control and went off which is fairly understandable but he could've backed off as it could've given him more points than what he got.

Rossi makes his way from 10th to 2nd

Rossi Charges his way past the Mid-Field 

Valentino Rossi who started way back in 7th had a lot of work to do on the opening laps as he was passed by both the Tech3 Yamaha's which was all due to his Horrible start but all of it started to go his way when a lot of riders Including the one's between him and Lorenzo(Marquez,Dovizioso,Iannone) were crashed which gave him a bit of breathing space and a good second place which was the best he could've done as catching Lorenzo was very Unlikely.

All this makes the Top 3 riders on a level playing field as all of them has had a crash till now and the Championship standings is also on a close level led by Lorenzo with Marquez and Rossi behind him which means that the Championship is far from over and anything can happen in the next race which is at Mugello in Italy.

Who's gonna win In Italy as it's a very close call coz it's a track where Lorenzo excels whereas it's Rossi's home Grand Prix which means he'll have to give everything in front of his home crowd but let's not forget that Marquez will not let it slip away so easily as he's pushing every time no matter what the situation is which is why he's one of the members of the ALIEN group featuring Lorenzo,Rossi,Pedrosa and Marquez

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.

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"
