Lorenzo to be dismissed at end of year.
honda to dismiss Lorenzo at the end of the 2019 season if he does not improve to Hondas expectations. Lorenzo responds saying he has a 2 year contract and Honda has to understand that it takes time for a rider to acclimate to a new bike. He compares his situation to Zarcos ride with KTM. This is a contrast to lorenzos own statement before the Spanish MotoGP where he said... I am fit and its time to get back on the podium...Lorenzo certainly cant say Honda has been consentrating on Marquez as at the beginning of the year Honda publically stated they where concentrating on developing the RCV213V to the style of Lorenzo and the riding style of the average racer being honda thinks Marquez is looking elsewhere to win a MotoGP title on 2 brands .
I am surprised Lorenzos manager didn't prepare Lorenzo and have a response ready for the press. I doesn't take a MotoGP enthusiast to know Honda would expect better results than 11th-13th from a former multi time World Champion. A WSBK ride suddenly seem out of the question. A team mate for Sykes on the new BMW S1000RR?
