Jorge Lorenzo has said his view of Marc Marquez’s move at the first corneওr of the Grand Prix of Aragon remains unchanged, even after considering the incident that led to his crashing for days after his emotions had subsided.

The Majorcan could be seen hobbling around the paddock at the Chang International Cꦡircuit with the aid of crutches on Thursday. The impact on his right foot dislocated his big toe and broke his second. They were injuries that, he claimed, put his participation this weekend in some doubt.

Acknowledging he will probably have to withstand considerable pain in the foot through the weekend, Lorenzo also went on to share his thoughts on Marquez’s out-braking move at turn one. The incident was “avoidable,” according to the Ducati man, and Marquez “irresponsible” and “imprudent” for attempting sꦜuch a move so early in the race.

“For sure, whatever I say now will create polemics,” said Lorenzo, reflecting on the incident. “And I believe we have to speak about Thailand now, and not about what happened two weeks ago. But y🐷ou asked me the question, and I cannot be a hypocrite.

“What I think aft♊er the race, maybe in hot conditions, I think exactly the same in the cold. I think that my crash was avoidable, and I only didn't finish the race and I'm here not at 100% because of the action of Marc, that in my opinion was irresponsible and imprudent. I think he knows that.

The 31-year old has been an active presence on his social m🐲edia account in the week between Aragon and Buriram, with one of his posts revealing his 2019 team-mate had called him the day after the race to check on his injury.

“Yes, he called me on Monday afternoon,” he confirmed. “He asked me about my physical condition, so t꧟his is a thing that I appreciate, because probably not all the riders wi🌞ll do that. So this is good. The only thing that I hope, is that if it's possible, I hope that less riders can suffer from these types of actions, like I'm suffering now myself.”

Does ꦑthis weekend’s inaugural motorcycle grand prix in Thailand therefore represent a chance for revenge?

“Revenge…” Lorenzo pondered. “No. Everyone has 🤪his way of riding. As I told you, I hope in the future, every time fewer andꦛ fewer riders will pay for this type of actions.

“But I don't think I'm going to c꧅hange my way, because I'm 31 years old, I don't want to get injured, and I am very conscious about the risk. Just pass this race in the best position possib𒁏le if I am able to race [and] prepare well Japan.

“I think that in Japan, I will have chances to win. Second place is very difficult already, so let's try to get good results to try to finish as high up as possible at the end of the championshi🌸p.”

O♛n whether he feels capable of competing in a full race weekend, Lorenzo sounded optimistic. “Hopefully [I can]𝓰,” he said. “Hopefully I will jump on the bike tomorrow, and have enough power and as few problems as possible to be able to race.

“The fee﷽ling is not very good when I'm walking, and I expect that for sure, when I ꦗput my feet onto the pegs of the bike, I will have pain. But only tomorrow will I know exactly my feelings.

“In the clinic [Clinica Mobile], I tried the boot, I tried the boot which Alpinestars gave me, which they brought here. It's a little bit bigger. I 🦋don't think I'm going to use it, because the new one is very stiff.

“Maybe the smaller one is better, but it's used. And now I'm goin🎶g to go to the box to see what happens on the bike, to sit on it. But all the small details, th♛at we can improve the situation, will be a help tomorrow.”

Marquez was reluctant to comment further on the incident in the pre-event press conference, saying only that he and Lorenzo had 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:a difference of opinion ♌over what happened.
